Cadres-based Poverty Alleviation In Villages: The Combination Of Technology And Emotion Governance

“Cadres to the countryside”is an important tradition for political parties to carry out rural work.The cadre-based poverty alleviation in villages has promoted the traditional "return".Researches on poverty alleviation of cadres in villages are mostly based on policy-based,functional discussions,which covers the attention to its practice and governance logic.This study discusses the cadre-based poverty alleviation in the overall context of the "state-society" relationship theory.From the perspective of governance technology,this article examines the cadres-based poverty alleviation system and practice of Y county,discussing how it affects the interaction between the state and peasants,and trying to summarize the governance logic of cadre-based poverty alleviation in villages.In the dimension of technical governance,this article shows the organization and mobilization of cadres stationed in villages within the bureaucratic system,analyzing the practical logic of the cadres in village under digital management.In the dimension of emotional governance,this article shows how does the cadres in the village adapt to the local ethics and local relations in an emotional way,and how to use political emotional work techniques to shape the national emotions and identities.In the result,cadres help the poor with technology and emotion,which promoted the relationship between the state and peasants.The research found that“cadres to the countryside”return in the form of old and new mixed.The current cadres-based poverty alleviation in villages has gradually become more bureaucratic and technical,while preserving the movement character and the party’s tradition of mass work.Technology governance follows the logic of “upward responsibility”,cadres are responsible for superiors,transporting resources and absorbing information downward.Emotional governance follows the logic of “downward docking”,cadres inherit the tradition of the party and the country’s emotional work upward,connecting with the non-stylized rural society downward.The two governance technologies are complementary and conflict with each other,constantly stimulating strategic actions of cadres in the village.In order to achieve sustainable and institutionalized development,the poverty alleviation of cadres in villages needs to find a balance between the rigidity and flexibility,routine and movement,and the paradox of personalization and nonpersonalization of technical governance and emotional governance.
