情从何来,何以成治:原子化社区情感治理的递进机制研究OACHSSCD

Drawing on the interaction ritual chain theory,this study conducts an in-depth case analysis of Community N in Changsha to reveal the progressive mechanisms underlying emotional governance in atomized communities-namely,"where emotion originates,how emotion leads to governance,and how emotion sustains governance".The findings identify three sequential mechanisms:the demand-response mechanism activates emotional bonds among strangers through"interest-embedded spaces",generating emotional connectedness from scratch in communities bereft of affective foundations;the role-reconstruc-tion mechanism transforms the informal influence of community leaders into institutionalized governance roles through"organizational embedding"and"institutional scaffolding",bridging the transition from micro-level emotional energy to governance efficacy;the circular-reinforcement mechanism generates a self-reinforcing cycle of emotional governance through the dual feedback effects of resource leverage and atmos-pheric consolidation.These findings reveal that"gathering people through emotion and transforming people into governance"constitutes the underlying logic by which atomized communities transcend their governance predicaments,and further indicate that reconstructing social bonds through emotion is key to advancing grassroots governance toward good governance.
