相親相愛/礙 上海人民公園集體相親行為的邊界與治理

Dating by Parents The Boundary and Governance of Marriage Corner in Shanghai People’s Park

指導教授 : 畢恆達

摘要


本文從城市公園集體相親的行為和組織入手,探討相親角以城市公園的公共性作為其資訊傳播媒介的過程,進而闡述其中產生的公私界限交疊,以及官方和民間不同的治理策略。筆者選取上海人民公園相親角為研究對象,通過參與式觀察、訪談及介入經驗,佐以書籍報刊及網路資訊,檢視相親角十餘年來從志願紅娘、收費仲介到整治取締等各個階段的發展,從空間形式及攤位佈局等物質實體的分析出發,探究相親角內多樣的人員互動與社會網絡形式,並發現其中隱含的異質性個體以及相互之間的共識和邊界。此外,以各類特殊事件為依託,探尋民間及官方治理的合作與差異。 研究發現涉及三個面向。首先,作為自發組織形成的集體相親活動,相親角無論在空間實踐、人員構成,抑或是關係網絡上,都有著極大的靈活性和流動性,這是其生動景觀的源頭。其二,城市公園的公共屬性,與婚配嫁娶中相親環節的私密性,產生了巧妙的偏差與融合。同時,家長對子女婚姻的介入又給集體相親活動帶來另一層面的公私交疊。此外,在官方和民間對仲介行為及特殊事件的共同治理下,相親角內公私邊界的跨越則更趨複雜多元。其三,跳脫出相親角當下的空間論述,家長在城市公園對子女婚事的集體介入行為,也與上海城市公園建設的脈絡相接軌。21世紀初的中國城市,不僅為一眾家長齊聚公園相親提供實體環境條件,也正因應著外地家長的跨地照護以及本地爸媽對城區生活的眷戀,如今的相親不再是單純的社會資本交換,未來家庭的城市生活路徑以各種形式充斥在相親商談之中。在這個意義上,相親角可以理解為家長個人以子女婚事為契機,對城市生活的因應策略。
