Research on Public Affairs Governance Practices and Paths Under the Perspective of Interactive Ritual Chains
online
Jiayi Xu and Junzi Li
Huazhong Agricultural University, China

In the theory of public affairs governance, people's concepts and behaviors are mostly explained from the perspective of rational man, but the theory of interactive ritual chain of American sociologist Collins bridges the theoretical gap beyond the perspective of rational man. Through this theoretical perspective and the case study of Q village, the author tries to analyze the significance of emotional maintenance for the sustainable cooperation of farmers in the vernacular field, and explore the possibility of rebuilding the farmers' subjective status and common emotions, so as to identify the development trend of farmers' cooperation. In Q village, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, the prevalence of Wenchang temple fairs and running water banquets has led to a higher social prestige and participation of the people involved compared to other villages without temple fairs and running water banquets, i.e., a higher level of social capital, which is regarded as a key variable influencing the success of collective action. Therefore, the fact that Q village does not need to call for public affairs related to road repair and canal construction, but rather donates and labors on its own accord, is a phenomenon that attracts the author's attention. Temple fairs and running water banquets belong to the same kind of interactive rituals, which are made up of daily programmed activities regarding this by the exchange of capital and emotions, and consist of important linking factors such as face-to-face composition of the group, and each other's concerns. The reshaping of the rural public affairs governance system is coupled with the generative logic of interactive rituals, and the emotional energy of interactive rituals will promote the reshaping of the rural public affairs governance system with half the effort and break through the current dilemma.
