Reclaiming the masses: the reconstruction of farmers' subjectivity in village-level women's federations and rural governance
The village-level women's Federation is an important organization that brings rural women into the participation of rural governance. The key to activating the participation of rural women in governance is to cultivate the subjectivity of farmers. Farmers' subjectivity includes four dimensions: consciousness subjectivity, action subjectivity, public subjectivity and development subjectivity. Consciousness subjectivity is embodied in farmers' awareness of their rights and roles, and action subjectivity is shown in farmers’ active participation in various rural construction activities. Public subjectivity is reflected in farmers' active participation in the management of rural public affairs; development subjectivity is manifested in farmers' active planning for the long-term development of the countryside and the improvement of their self-development capabilities. Village-level women's federations reshape the subjectivity of farmers through propaganda and education, consultation and mobilization, exemplary encouragement and sustainable development mechanisms. Strengthening mass participation is the basic premise for activating the subjectivity of women's federations. The foundation for the construction of subjectivity lies in the fact that women's federations bring farmers into the governance field by integrating them into the governance system. The practice of governance functions is the key element in reshaping the subjectivity of farmers. By transforming governance concepts into practical actions, and shaping farmers’ subjectivity through concrete governance practices.
