| Group incident had become a social problem in China since1990s, which drew the attention of politicians and academics to study the main participant of group incident, the subaltern class. About contentious politics there are two opposing directions of political philosophy,"politics of the strong" and "politics of the weak". This research aims to discuss the reason and the pattern of daily resistance of Chinese urban subaltern class under the perspective of subaltern study, which follows the direction of "politics of the weak".The reason of daily resistance of urban subaltern class resistance is the deficiencies of social security system and social exclusion of the social security system. Also the system has a negative effect of their self-perception. These two predicaments make the urban subaltern class focus on their individual interests, and conceal their form of resistance. Urban subaltern class drop the advisory express way within the system because it is blocked, and lose their trust of the system. And their closed interpersonal relationship causes the consequence of lack of interpersonal resources and organizational resources, which make them hard to form a resistant organization. Therefore they have to use their own way to do the daily resistance: deceive the social security system and use "illegal" way to get what they need, which always are income and enjoyment of rights. In the mean time they form a necessitarian interpretation system to reduce the relative deprivation and make the huge gap between the rich and the poor reasonable. The principle of daily resistance of urban subaltern class is self-protection. Their protection circles their family, and their fear comes from the disparity in power between themselves and state apparatus. Therefore, daily resistance of Chinese urban subaltern class doesn’t have revolutionary character. It’s a kind of individual act embedded in their everyday life, only tries to protect their and their families’personal interests. |
