Abstract

Abstract The field of citizenship education witnessed an expanding body of literature looking at the case of China. Yet citizenship with broad conceptual terrain often refers to different things in the literature. This paper foregrounds the common core of the essentially contested concept of citizenship and considers citizenship conception as discourse. By engaging with and drawing evidence from extant literature, this paper critically examines citizenship in the academic and related official and social discourses. It discloses the discursive conformity among the academic, official, and social discourses of citizenship in mainland China and discusses the politics beneath the conformity. It suggests that the fundamental values of liberty and equality constitutive of the common core of citizenship should not be lost but localized to serve as the conceptual and analytical compass in the contestation of citizenship and citizenship education discourses in contemporary China.

当代中国公民与公民教育再思考:话语与政治

在公民教育领域，关注中国案例的文献越来越多。然而，具有广泛概念领域的公民身份在文献中往往指的是不同的东西。本文突出了存在争议的公民概念的共同核心，并将公民概念视为话语。通过参与并从现有文献中提取证据，本文批判性地考察了学术和相关官方和社会话语中的公民身份。揭示了中国大陆学术、官方和社会公民话语的整合，并探讨了整合下的政治。本文认为，构成公民权共同核心的自由与平等的基本价值观不应丢失，而应本土化，作为当代中国公民权与公民权教育话语之争的概念和分析指南针。
