| description | In recent years, the “mania for school district houses” has disrupted the
housing market and undermined education equity and class mobility, thus
becoming a common concern. Most existing research focus on market
motivations for purchasing school district houses while neglecting the
connections between school district houses and cultural and social elements
in the process of class reproduction. To make up for this deficiency this
article introduces the neighborhood-based cultural capital theory to explore
the diversified motivations, the processes of motivation formation, and
the determining factors in purchasing school district houses. Reviews and
analysis of interview materials revealed that while theories based on western
experience can explain the basic purchasing motivations and their formation
processes, there are distinct and varied purchasing motivations in China, more
comprehensive and complex forms of capital exchange, and more dynamic
factors that impact purchases of school district houses. Suggestions on solving
the “mania for school district houses” are also presented. |
