Abstract

Residents of the relocated households refer to those who have relocated their houses in the city and experienced a sharp transformation from rural residents to city residents. They witness rapid growth in the development of urbanization in China and they embody two separate identities at the same time: urban and rural. This paper takes the residents of the relocated households in Binhu district, Hefei city as the research object to study how double consciousness is reflected on them. Both fieldwork and interviews are used. The fieldwork explores the identities embodied in their agricultural practice in the small lots of cities. Interviews are conducted to get a deeper understanding of their change of accent and how this would imply identity change. The result shows that they do embody double consciousness in these two aspects. The appearance of double consciousness is considered to be closely related to field construction and exclusive behavior: rural identity is strengthened through rural life field and the acceptance of the new identity results from other people’s exclusive behavior.
