The Symbolic Gap Between Rustic And Fashion

The researches on the floating population between urban and rural areas or the left-behind population caused by floating, focused on macro explanation, data analysis and practical overall analysis. These researches ignored the personal features during the process of floating, namely body features and practice. At the same time, because of the traditional concept that males are superior to females, females are in the weak position in the process of floating, even in the mind of these researchers. The rural male migrant workers lead the process of floating. However, no matter of the rural female migrant workers or the left-behind old couple, the females changed their live locus caused by floating. Compared to the males, this kind of changing of the females are more outstanding and more through.Therefore, the writer tries to start from the view of body theory and the female features to explore the distinctions between the new floating female youth and the traditional left-behind females, proclaiming the social status behind the body features.The writer thinks that the body features are the outcome of the social acquisition. The distinctions between the new floating female youth and the traditional left-behind females are huge which come from their social experiences. The huge distinctions are the outcome of the social experiences caused by urban-rural dual structure. When the new floating female youth come to the city, they will be forced or be active to accept some body features of the citizens which are related to fashion. When they go back to countryside, they will take this kind of fashion back to their home. Compared to the traditional left-behind rural females, the collision is at the edge. This kind of collision on body features is the outstanding expression of the urban-rural dual structure.This thesis tries to find the inter-relationship among the systematic, cultural and physiological factors behind the distinctions of their body features. Comparing their realistic encounter and the systematic environment, we can find out their realistic need, and feel about their weakness so that we can avoid different kinds of mal-practice. Starting from the body features of these floating population, we will interrupt the body experiences and solve the mal-practice of the social security system so that we can make deeper researches on the floating population between urban and rural areas.
