A Study of Local Community Activities and Micro・Public Sphere under the Stalinist Regime

该研究试图阐明住房组织及其居民实施的“文化工作”的不同方面，重点关注莫斯科的住房合作社，特别是住房租赁合作伙伴关系（ZhAKTy: Zhilishchno-arendnye koopervnye tovarishchestva），它们在20世纪30年代承担了控制和管理每个住房公寓的作用。这项文化工作包括“文化和群众工作”，包括政治动员居民参加定期的节日和纪念活动，如十月革命、五一节等，以及“文化和日常生活工作”，包括提供基本的日常生活服务，如儿童保育设施、公共洗衣房和食堂。本文从公共领域理论和性别理论的角度分析了由两个基本部分组成的文化工作。在文化工作中，住房组织组织和自我管理的社区食堂是本研究的核心对象。对于自我管理的食堂项目，在住宅层面关注的是食物和住房，这是至关重要的因素，人们生活在斯大林的俄罗斯。通过对一些档案馆和图书馆的各种资料的详细调查，研究表明，食堂的建立和管理可以被认为是居民的一种公共意识的表达，它与个人或单个家庭的生存的利己主义行为有很大的不同，它是住房组织及其居民自己进行的社区主义项目。在这个意义上，本研究成功地证明了斯大林政权下地方社区和一种微观公共领域的存在。该研究的部分结果将发表在日本杂志《Shiso》上，而研究自助食堂运动的部分结果将发表在欧洲的权威杂志《欧亚研究》上。

The research attempted to elucidate variable aspects of 'cultural work' implemented by housing organizations and their residents, focusing on Moscow's housing cooperatives, in particular house-leasing cooperative partnerships (ZhAKTy: Zhilishchno-arendnye kooperativnye tovarishchestva), which assumed the role of controlling and managing each housing apartment in the 1930s. This cultural work consisted of 'cultural and mass work' including political mobilization of residents to periodic festivals and memorial events such as the October Revolution, May Day, etc, and 'cultural and daily living work' including supply of basic services for daily living, i.e. childcare facilities, communal laundries and canteens. This study analyzed the cultural work comprised of two basic parts from the viewpoint of the theory of the public sphere and gender.Of cultural work, community canteens organized and self-managed under housing organizations was a core subject in this study. For self managed canteens project at the residence level was concerned with both food and housing, which were crucial factors for people living in Stalin's Russia. As a result of a detailed survey on a variety of materials acquired from some archives and libraries, the research made it clear that the establishment and management of canteens could be estimated as an expression of public consciousness among residents, which is quite different from taking egoistic action for an individual's or single family's survival and as a communitarian project performed by housing organizations and their residents themselves. In this meaning, the research succeeded to demonstrate the existence of local community and a kind of micro-public sphere under the Stalinist regime.A part of results in this study was published in Shiso, a Japanese journal, and another part of them that is dealing with self-managed canteen movement will be contributed to one of the leading journals in Europe such as Europe-Asia Studies.
