摘　　要：基于对全国多地的田野调研,李永萍的《老年人危机与家庭秩序:家庭转型中的资源、政治与伦理》一书以现代性进村作为背景,考察了农村家庭变迁与农村老年人危机之间的复杂关系,反映了家庭社会学研究在突破既有研究视角上的新动向和新气象。该书首先明确了农村老年人危机议题的理论诉求和学科归属,对当前主流的经济视角即老年人贫困问题、社会视角即老年人留守问题和价值视角即农村伦理性危机三大视角进行了批判,通过在个人与社会的二元框架之中引入家庭这一中间因素,为家庭社会学的介入提供了依据。接着,在唯实论家庭观的指导下,该书创造性地提出要将家庭社会学研究关注的核心议题从目前的家庭转型转移到家庭发展上去,研究家庭转型过程,考察转型家庭的性质和形态。家庭发展的目标推动着扩大化家庭再生产模式取代简单家庭再生产模式,成为转型家庭的基本特征,并在家庭资源的配置、家庭权力的运作和家庭价值的实现三个方面的巨变中体现出来。最后,该书揭示了农村老年人危机的出现与农村家庭发展及其所引发的巨变之间的密切关联,从而也呈现了农村老年人危机本身的复杂性,即在功能性家庭之中,老年人如何安身立命?Based on the field research in many places across the country,Li Yongping’s book“The Elderly Crisis and Family Order:The Resources,Politics and Ethics in Family Transformation”,which takes modernity as the background,examines the complex relationship between rural family change and the crisis of the rural elderly,and reflects the new trend and new atmosphere of family sociology research in breaking through the existing research perspective.The book first clarifies the theoretical demands and subject attribution of the crisis issue of the rural elderly,criticizes the current mainstream economic perspective,namely,the poverty problem of the elderly,the social perspective,namely,the left behind problem of the elderly,and the value perspective,namely,the rural ethical crisis,and provides a basis for the intervention of family sociology by introducing the intermediate factor of family into the dual framework of individual and society.Then,under the guidance of the realistic family view,the book creatively proposed to transfer the core issues of family sociology research from the current family transformation to family development,study the process of family transformation,and investigate the nature and form of the transformed family.The goal of family development promotes the expansion of family reproduction mode to replace the simple family reproduction mode,which has become the basic feature of the transitional family,and is reflected in the huge changes in the configuration of family resources,the operation of family power and the realization of family values.Finally,the book reveals the close relationship between the emergence of the crisis of the rural elderly and the development of rural families and the huge changes caused by it,thus showing the complexity of the crisis of the rural elderly itself,that is,how can the elderly settle down in a functional family?
