ABSTRACT

Based on a case study in a highly industrialized village Southwest of China, this paper analyzes villagers’ logic of action facing industrial pollution. In field work, anthropological research methods, such as in-depth interview and participant observation, are employed. A main principle of not using any leading question is strictly followed, considering pollution is a sensitive issue and a leading question about pollution easily leads to a general answer. The research finds that several factors, such as villager’s discourse of development and pollution, local politics, understanding of news media, specialty of health issue, influence villagers’ perception and action towards the pollution they are facing with. Those factors interact and make industrial pollution an “inevitable reality”. As a result, the strategy villagers make is to localize industrial pollution problem and seek for economic benefit as much as possible.
