In this article, I explore a Chinese residential therapeutic community I call Sunlight in order to understand its quotidian therapies, its fraught nature binding China's past with its future, and the to care for the self under postsocialism. Reviewing Sunlight ethnographically allows for broader theoretical exploration into how China's economic transition created tensions between capitalism, socialism, and communism; between individual and community, care and coercion, and discipline and freedom. Sunlight blended democratic, communal, and communist values that in several ways transition drug addicts into a market-socialist society. In focusing on the socialist transition to capitalism much work concentrates on the neoliberal transition as the only path out of communism rather than exploring its exceptions. In exploring China as an exception, I ask: What do the residents, peer-educators and administrators reveal in their stories and reactions to community-based therapeutics of care and what happens when their notions of care clash?
在本文中,我探究了一个我称之为“阳光”的中国住院治疗社区,以了解其日常疗法、将中国的过去与未来联系在一起的令人担忧的本质,以及后社会主义时期的自我关怀。通过民族志的方式审视“阳光”,有助于进行更广泛的理论探索,以了解中国的经济转型如何在资本主义、社会主义和共产主义之间;在个人与社区、关怀与强制、纪律与自由之间产生了紧张关系。“阳光”融合了民主、集体和共产主义价值观,以多种方式将吸毒者转变为市场社会主义社会中的一员。在关注从社会主义向资本主义的转型时,许多研究都将新自由主义转型视为走出共产主义的唯一途径,而不是探索其例外情况。在将中国视为一个例外进行探究时,我提出以下问题:居民、同伴教育者和管理人员在他们关于基于社区的关怀疗法的故事和反应中揭示了什么?当他们的关怀观念发生冲突时会发生什么?
