“无锡轻院”实指“无锡轻工业学院”“设计”“专业”，被誉为中国设计界的“黄埔军校”，其毕业生中很大一部分是全国各高校设计学科的负责人或是中坚力量，在今天中国设计教育界有着绝对的霸主地位。“无锡轻院”设计系的发展历程及每个阶段出现的问题，在中国其他老牌设计院校中都会出现。因而，“无锡轻院”设计系的发展可谓直接反映了中国现代设计教育发展的历程，是中国现代设计教育的缩影。值得肯定的是，“轻帮”及“轻规”在“无锡轻院”的发展历程中，为其带来了一段时期内的辉煌。不可否认的是，“无锡轻院”设计系这个个案为中国社会培养了一大批设计师精英，尤其是为中国的设计教育培养了一大批设计教育精英，为中国设计行业、设计产业的发展做出了重要贡献。那么，这种霸主是如何形成的呢？笔者力图寻求设计学研究与社会学研究的对接，努力对设计教育领域的师资传承现象做社会学的解读。 本文涉及到两大社会学命题——文化再生产中的教育再生产与精英的形成。通过文化再生产理论的回顾，笔者主要是对本研究所在的设计教育场域进行解读和分析。通过精英理论，尤其是其中关于精英的循环与再生产部分的回顾，笔者主要是对本研究的研究对象设计教育精英的形成进行分析。 本文试图回答及研究以下几个问题： 第一，教育再生产实质为以社会再生产为目的的文化再生产，在其过程中必然会受到结构性、制度性因素的影响。那么，影响设计教育场域的非制度因素是否存在，如果存在，是什么。 第二，在设计教育场域中实现资本转换的是什么资本，是否是现有各类资本的总和，还是一种资本在不同方面的流动？ 第三，设计教育精英所在的教育场域与文化场域的距离较近，与政治场域、经济场域的距离较远，在这样的环境之中，设计教育精英是以循环还是再生产的方式得以形成的呢？ 本文采取质的研究方法，以设计教育精英的形成为主要研究问题，基本的研究逻辑是通过个案研究，发现设计教育精英是如何在设计教育场域中得以形成的。此外，笔者的研究焦点放在非制度性外部因素的探讨和惯习是如何在内部影响设计教育精英的形成的。 总的说来，本文具有以下几个方面的研究意义： 第一，本文是首个对设计教育、尤其是设计教师进行社会学的研究，不仅填补了设计学科研究上的空白，将社会学理论与设计学理论进行融合性的尝试，还为当下设计教育的转型提供具有历史性、溯源性的参考。 第二，本文对文化再生产理论在设计教育场域的应用做了补充性的解释，指出群体精神作为非制度化因素在教育再生产中的可能的作用，并指出设计教育场域内资本流动的宗旨是建构教育权威。 第三，本文对精英的生成机制在设计教育场域中的应用做了有益的解释与验证，指出“群体精神”与设计教育“精英的循环与再生产”之间的关系，以及在不同情况下、不同场域之中，设计教育精英的形成机制及路径。 第四，对于本文的研究对象“无锡轻院”而言，本文是较为系统及完整地再现其发展历程，并从师生传承、精神传承的角度来讲述其五十六年历史的第一篇研究性论文。由于“无锡轻院”的发展历程可谓是中国现代设计教育发展的缩影，因此，可以为后续研究者提供从侧面进行研究的参考。 关键词：设计教育精英 精英的循环与再生产 群体精神

 "Wuxi Qingyuan" actually refers to the design major of Wuxi Institute of light industry, which is known as the "Huangpu Military Academy" in design field in China. A large part of its graduate is the head or responsible person for different design disciplines in higher education school all over the country. This situation has absolutely guaranteed "Wuxi Qingyuan"'s dominance in today's design education field of China. So, how this kind of dominance come into being? The author manages to find the connection between design and sociological research, and attempts to interpret the phenomenon of inheritance between teachers and students in the field of design education. This paper deals with the two major sociological statements: the educational reproduction and the formation of the elite in the cultural reproduction. Through the review of the theory of cultural reproduction, the author mainly interprets and analyzes the field of design education in this research. Through the elite theory, especially in the part of the cycle and reproduction of the elite theory, the author mainly analyzes the formation of the educational elite. This paper attempts to answer and study the following questions: Firstly, the essence of education reproduction is the cultural reproduction for the purpose of social reproduction. In the process, it is bound to be affected by the structural and institutional factors. Then, the non-institutional factors that affect the field of design education may exist, if exists, what they are. Secondly, in the field of design education, what kind of capital is converted? Is it the sum of all kinds of capitals, or just one kind of capital in different aspects during the flow? Thirdly, the education which elite of design education belongs to, is closer to the cultural field compared to the political field and economic field. In such circumstances, is elite of design education formed in circular or reproduction? And how? This paper adopts the qualitative research method, taking the formation of the elite of design education as the main research problem. The basic logic of the research is to find how the elite of design education forms in the field of design education through a case study. In addition, the author focuses on how the external non-institutional factors and internal habitus affect the formation of the elite of design education. Generally speaking, this paper has the following research significance: First of all, this paper is first in the design education, especially for the design teacher research in social science. It not only fills the blank of design research, but also attempts to combine sociology theory and design theory for integration. It provides a historical and explanatory references for the transformation of contemporary design education. In the second place, this paper makes supplementary explanation for the application of the cultural reproduction theory to design education field. The author points out that community spirit can be regarded as a non-institutional factor in the reproduction of education. And the author also points out that the purpose of capital flows in the field of design education is to construct educational authority. In the third place, in this paper, the author makes useful explanation and verification for the application of the formation mechanism of the elite to the design education field. The author also points out that the relationship between the "community spirit" and the "circulation and reproduction" in design education. Then she concludes the formation mechanism and path of the elite of design education in different situations. In the fourth place, for "Wuxi Qingyuan", the individual case in this paper, it is the first research paper which systematically and completely has explored its 56 year history and discussed from the aspect of teacher-student heritage and community spiritual heritage. Because the development process of "Wuxi Qingyuan" is a microcosm of the development of modern design education in China, therefore, it can provide a reference for the follow-up researchers to study from other side.
