摘要

目标:作为一项政策,扩大教育被认为是为了解决青年社会流动受阻的问题。但是,在去工业化的新自由主义背景下,向大学的过渡在情感上是紧张的,这一论点表明了高等教育中新自由主义的情感方面。本文试图通过对香港社区大学生情感斗争的考察,来说明新自由主义的这种情感操作。方法:本研究采用两种定性分析方法,对香港83名社区大学生通过一种新的副学士学位转移函数攻读学士学位的数据进行分析。结果:在新自由主义强调个人主义和竞争的情况下,受访者表现出以下负面情绪:对新选择的自卑感、对这种追求的竞争力的压力以及在组织学习和与同学打交道时的策略/算计,以及尽管他们成功转会,但仍被视为不称职的焦虑。贡献:受访者的情感斗争表明,鉴于在去工业化的资本主义背景下缺乏高薪的专业或管理工作,教育扩张作为一项政策——尤其是扩大社区大学的部门——被新自由主义话语所包裹,不仅给年轻人带来了虚假的希望,而且给他们带来了不必要的紧张情绪。这一建议敦促政策制定者重新思考采用新自由主义方法来解决经济问题的教育政策的有效性。

An Emotive Operation of Neoliberalism in Higher Education: Seeking a Second Chance in Hong Kong
Objective: Educational expansion as a policy is believed to address the issue of the youth’s blocked social mobility. But, the argument that the transition to university is emotionally straining in a deindustrialized neoliberal context suggests an emotive aspect of neoliberalism in higher education. This article seeks to offer an illustration of such an emotive operation of neoliberalism through examining the emotional struggles of community-college students in Hong Kong. Method: This study draws on two qualitative analyses based on data collected from 83 community-college students in Hong Kong pursuing a bachelor’s degree through a newly available transfer function of an associate degree. Results: Given an emphasis of neoliberalism on individualism and competition, the respondents showed the following negative emotions: perverse feelings of inferiority about the new option, stress about the competitiveness of this pursuit and strategic/calculating in organizing their learning and dealing with their classmates, and anxiety of being seen as inadequate despite their successful transferals. Contributions: The emotional struggles of the respondents suggest that in view of a lack of well-paid prestigious professional or managerial jobs in a deindustrialized capitalist context, educational expansion as a policy—expanding the sector of community college in particular—wrapped up in a neoliberal discourse is not merely giving the youth a false hope but inflicting on them unnecessarily strained emotions. This suggestion urges policy makers to rethink the effectiveness of adopting an educational policy with a neoliberal approach to address an economic issue.

期刊介绍: The Community College Review (CCR) has led the nation for over 35 years in the publication of scholarly, peer-reviewed research and commentary on community colleges. CCR welcomes manuscripts dealing with all aspects of community college administration, education, and policy, both within the American higher education system as well as within the higher education systems of other countries that have similar tertiary institutions. All submitted manuscripts undergo a blind review. When manuscripts are not accepted for publication, we offer suggestions for how they might be revised. The ultimate intent is to further discourse about community colleges, their students, and the educators and administrators who work within these institutions.
