AB - This paper elevates the community movement of the Chinese ‘New Workers’ group in connection with the national urban development strategy. Through this, we attempt to find a theoretical and practical opportunity to imagine beyond ‘management’ and ‘right’ to the city. Due to the contradiction of the ‘Urban-Rural Dual Structure’, new workers are experiencing poor working conditions and institutional and identity discrimination in cities. Accordingly, the Chinese government continues to push for a new urban development strategy to achieve continuous economic growth and socio-political stability by ‘managing’ their social complaints and resistance. However, the state-led urbanization policy is causing another differential social order and hierarchization of citizenship. In other words, new workers, who are still considered targets of ouster in urban space, are mobilized only in the ‘social construction’ process and are excluded from the ‘social governance’ system. On the other hand, the “Beijing Workers’ House” is experimenting with a governance structure that considers new production methods based on the local community, autonomously meets the needs of reproduction, and jointly operates them. Their practice and experience are noteworthy in that they imagine and practice new types of lifestyles beyond the ‘rights’ defined and allowed by the state system and capital logic.
