Everyday-life And The Formation Of The Class

Had Chinese intellectuals formed a special class during1927to1937period? Although many researches have held a positive view, but due to lack of empirical analysis of the microscopic view, these points made from these researches seems a bit of general. This paper focused on Shanghai intellectual during1927to1937period, take the everyday-life as the main research content, under the background of social stratification, by historical sociology empirical level on the point of view and method, inspection of this period in the Shanghai intellectual is start with a particular class of overall appearance appear. Research found that Shanghai intellectual main worked for publishing industry and education, formed the three main professional type; Their career's income compared with modern Shanghai urban residents'in the medium level, but personal incomes had very large differences. Shanghai intellectual living in TingZiJian(亭子间), lane hall house and garden house, the three different levels of the residence, and had formed the isolation and differentiation. Their living conditions, food, dress and travel consumption level are also showing great differences. Their daily interactions had taken place in in families as the private space and restaurant and coffee shop cafe as the urban public space. The communication ways mainly have the correspondence, absalom dinners, gifts and so on many kinds of types. Famous writer and local upper-class knowledge elite have complicated relationship network and its interaction often involve different classes. Loyal group of writers and scholars who contacts of object is limited in the same class, close the career, and form relatively homogeneous subgroups and simplification. But because of their daily interactions with more life interest and literature and art aesthetic orientation close for the principle, so their internal structures are loose group. Left-wing intellectuals had faced the reality that it makes them through various ways to connected to group, get a way of making a living and emotional dependency. For this reason, ZuoLian(左联)recruit and their own potential demand are same. To buy a book, read, and write as the main contents of the spiritual life of the group of intellectuals is different from other social class one of the main way of life. When reading is no longer a intellectual patent behavior,-intellectuals take reading as a way to distinguish their own intellectual groups and other classes. In the hospital, dress, leisure amusement and other life styles, both contain intellectuals' special style and embodies the intellectual internal differences shaping the taste. Therefore, on one hand, the1927-1937Shanghai intellectual whole increasingly prominent characteristics, and the differences with other social groups or classes gradually widened; On the other hand, this group of internal differences and differentiation is increasingly obvious. We must see, this difference and differentiation process with a certain degree of the social mobility. Many intellectuals rely on various ways to improve their economic and life situation, weakening their own group and other social stratum of the boundaries. This makes the Shanghai intellectual formed initiation class/class consciousness easier, but could not had the same point with the intellectual class characteristics, and other key issues.
