摘要

在中國大陸，公民教育已經不再被視作資本主義的衍生品，在最近十年廣受關注。本文從全球意識形態景觀的視角出發，探討中國大陸學者如何通過翻譯和演繹，把「公民教育」這個外來語賦予本土內涵。公民教育的本土建構主要體現在三個主要議題上：打破國家霸權（民眾和社會成為決策參與者）、爭取民主（民眾常被批評缺少公民意識，這也被解釋為社會缺少民主氛圍的原因，但公民教育的研究者借此論證實施公民教育的必要）、平衡政治身分與文化身分（反映出知識分子自我的文化覺醒和對共產主義／社會主義的失望）。

Abstract

“Citizenship education,” no long conceived as a product of capitalism, gains widespread attention during the past decade in the Chinese mainland. This article explores, from the perspective of ideoscapes, how the global concept of “citizenship education” is ascribed local meaning. Three aspects are highlighted in the local conceptualization of citizenship education by mainland scholars: breaking state hegemony (participation of citizens and society as stakeholders); struggling for democracy (lack of democracy is partially justified by lack of civic consciousness among the ordinary, accounting for the need for citizenship education); and balancing political identity and cultural identity (intellectuals’ self-reflection on cultural consciousness and disappointment of communism/socialism).
