This study attempts to focus on the"typification"that occurs in a variety of everyday life stories to show the political life, through the deconstruction of the events that are full of rich power conversions to restore the powerful relations among the daily events. By showing the logical operation and practice of"constructing the typification"in the daily life of urban grass-roots'level, this study reveals the operating secrets about the"typical"logic that the political implication of the current neighborhood.In dissertation structure, the first chapter mainly introduces the research background, recalls the relevant research and clears the important concepts; The second chapter chiefly introduces the research perspective, methods and thesis structure; The third chapter describes the position of neighborhoods'politics"to construct the typification"in the States'politics, the"second mobilization"from community residents'committee, the typical masses to residents, as well as the actual strategy of mobilization and the real way of powers'operation in the neighborhoods'politics; the fourth chapter focuses on the social types and groups'characteristics of the"typical masses"in the urban grass-roots, and their key roles in the typifical process; the fifth chapter concerns about the legal dimensions of the neighborhoods'politics, analyzing the"typical problem"strategy of the owners of commercial residential buildings in the process of safeguarding the rights. The sixth chapter drawn the conclusions of this study and extends the discussion.From the top-down perspective, the campaign to construct the typification that active at the grass-roots community and the its process of"typical mobilization"is the institutional arrangements because of the needs for the top-down regime of State-building, that appears a traditional path to mobilize through"the community residents'committee-the typical masses-residents", and runs through an important factor which is the face, human kindness, reciprocity, trust and other local community resources; From the bottom-up perspective, the owners of commercial residential buildings frequently have staged the"typical events"on safeguarding rights and the process of"typical issue", which show the strategic needs to rationalize themselves'interests by the bottom-up driven of the residential property owners. This opens out the path of voluntary participation,"the Owners'Committee-the backbone of safeguarding rights-the owners", Which runs through the core elements including interest, property, rights, rules and other factors. Through both the top-down perspective and the bottom-up perspective, the"typical"strategy of neighborhood politics present in two different forms and the logical operation, and demonstrate a fundamental double-dimension of neighborhood politics, That is, the"reasonable politics"put the community residents'committee to be the center and the"legal political"that put the Owners'Committee to be the center.The typifying operation of neighborhood politics showing the micro-power that is operated in the two ways of practice: top-down and bottom-up. From the neighborhood, the typical people to the typifying mobilization of the residents, as well as the bottom-up of the issue of typification which is made by the merchandise residential owners for the need of the interests of the rationalization, are the two different forms of the typification strategy in neighborhood space.The campaign of the typical create of urban basic community has the traditional characteristics of national mobilization and mass participation which forms in revolutionary period,succeeds the political cultural heritage which handed down by the Party's revolutionary struggle. In order to achieve the above"mandatory"targets in a"voluntary"way,the grass-roots government agents must use the operation power in very high skills, and carry out the"second mobilization"from the neighborhood, the typical people to the residents. Neighborhood using the power skills such as"words conversion","changing public into private","initiative a sign of weakness","emotional investment"and so on,not only using the powerful mobilizing force of the original administrative organization network,but also using some informal factors such as local interaction network which based on the emotion between people,for daily authority mobilization,and by this way,taking the community residents into the process of construction of the community and the state political power. Typical masses,by the means of"creating a public topic","typical ceremony performances","transfer day-to-day discourse"and other typical means,take the above,which assigned by the neighborhood daily life. Mobilization capacity of the neighborhood,as well as the work efficiency of the"typical mass",are closely linked to their investments about the human kindness, face, reciprocity, trust and other local social capital,and the resulting"return on investment".The central issue of the owners'safeguard rights action lies in"the issue of typification". Both the mobilization of the owners committee, the backbones of safeguarding rights and the opinion leaders"to put their lives as model",and the daily life struggle which participated by the majority of owners wrapped around"being troubled"and"Entangling", are centered on the topics of"the issue of typification". I even believe that the possibility of the success in the safeguard of the owners'rights depends on the realization of the problem of the typification. The"issue of typification"refers to a situation and state,that is,problems which existed in the community have formed a consensus between in residential property owners,the seriousness and the necessary of solving the problem has been not only fully aware of the owners,but also has given rise to the relevant government departments,developers,property companies'concerns,and was brought to their agenda. It is not a natural transition from the existence of"questions of fact"to create"typical questions",and then to"the issue of typification", this will take some catalytic factors, which included the backbones of the safeguard rights activists to participate in and promote,as well as the awareness of the residential property owners and public safeguard rights,and so on.The"sense orientation"and"legal orientation"of neighborhood politics,reflects respectively two different logics of the current grass-roots social governance. In this study,the practical core of the"reasonable politics"are the operations about local community resources,such as human relations,face,reciprocity,trust and so on,between people who mobilize and be mobilized. Private relationship and returns associated with the reciprocal relationship,which are the key factors of forming of people's"emotional investment"among the neighborhood,the typical masses and the ordinary people to decide to the task from the"above"can be completed or not. However,the practical core of the"legal politics"lie in the interests,power, rules and other factors among the right subjects,such as the property companies,the property owners,and the real estate business. The"events",which are the Owners Committee election,the owners protecting their interests,the operation process and the logic of practice,have become the"legal dimension"of the neighborhood politics in new housing communities. The"legal politics"directed by owners, as another level of the neighborhood politics, which the main premise is related to interests, and guided by the specific social issues of daily life. Under the constraint of the intrinsic relationship among the interests, rights and rules, every relevant person having the private property rights to participate in the"legal politics"and contact complexly with the political state and the market enterprises.
