移工在異地的生活方式，也是一種都市狀態，富士康農民工的生活方式，某個程度是「疏離都市狀態」，社會互動機會匱乏。本文從社會學的角度探索，是怎樣的結構限制，讓深圳富士康的農民工，產生了社會疏離的生活狀態？透過實證研究，我們分析深圳富士康農民工基本的社會經濟狀況，發現普通工人在深圳成家落戶的經濟門檻非常高，以戶籍制度為代表的制度門檻，基本上也是經濟性的限制。本文強調，中國大陸轉型經濟所形構的打工體制，不利於新生代農民工的關係網絡拓展與社會資源累積，對他們的社會流動產生很大制約；其次，富士康諸多部門的勞動控制策略，係以行使專制權力來獲取工人的從屬性，有意識地打散工人可能的社會連帶，以利基層幹部操弄工作場所政治，更加劇打工體制對於民工社會生活的壓迫。我們認為受社會資本理論啟發、對於大陸社會網絡之資源流動功能的樂觀期待—社會網絡再建構論，在解釋新生代農民工之生活結構上，具有相當程度的限制。

Although there have been extensive studies on Chinese urbanization, few researches focus on the migrant workers in the world factory city and contextualize their livelihoods in those neighborhoods. This paper pays attention to the new-generation migrant workers’ way of life in Shenzheng’s Foxconn city, understood as a relevant pattern of China’s urbanism. Based on first-handed surveys and interviews, we find strong evidences to support the argument, namely, that “social alienation” is a common experience to these workers. Moreover, this study illustrates the interplay of various institutional factors contributes to the alienated urbanism, including hukou system, urban policy, corporate strategies and labor control politics. Finally we argue the migrant labor regime squeezes the workers in developing their social support networks, both instrumental and emotional, and further compresses their opportunities of social flow. To conclude, we highlight the limitation of the “social capital thesis” in understanding the new-generation workers’ life opportunity in this case.
