Information Degree Of Specialization, Construction And Level Of Mobilization

In the field of social movements, in accordance with the framing theory and constructivism perspective, collective action is constructed, in that way, mobilization process refers to the process of the construction of the specific issues, and also a process of words, symbolic activities and other factors playing important roles. In other words, those who mobilized interpret and construct a problem, not the problem itself, lead to a high level of mobilization, caused a collective event. If we attribute difference in mobilization level to the difference of construction, under what conditions construction play greater role in collective events? This article noted that in recent years there is such type collective events in collective protests of house owners, such as events around power lines, substations, and maglev magnetic suspension train, due to the extent of information specialization of the problems, have some kinds of effects in the mobilization process, thus the level of constructivism and mobilization enhance.In this regard, borrowing theories dispersed in mass communication, history of science and other subjects, this article centers on two cases of urban community collective protests ("high voltage" and "travel difficulty") in sub district Y in the city S, comparing the levels of mobilization and constructivism. The results were described as bellow:the strangeness of topic information enabled residents to be more proactive in understanding and concerning it, and this unfamiliar feeling also provided an interpretation connection, providing more opportunities for constructing for those who mobilized; Secondly, the complexity of this specialized information enabled construction from multiple perspectives; once again, a sense of professional authority of the specialized information can be accepted easily by a number of residents uncritically; finally, sometimes the neutral, object specialized information make residents to do self-examination, resulting in the trust of specialized information and the dissolution of original individual idea, then to join the action. Therefore, we can say that the extent of information specialization provides more space to the construction, under the condition of specialized information, words, symbolic activities and other factors can play greater roles in the mobilization of urban community collective protest.
