摘要：
痕迹管理源于国家治理的简单化思维。通过将具体而复杂的治理实践抽象和简化为台账、文本、表格、图片、影音等可视化“材料”，痕迹管理有助于推进政策落地，完善权力监督，提升治理绩效。官僚制的档案管理原则，必然要求以有“迹”可寻的书面材料来体现行政运作的绩效，而国家治理视角的“简单化”逻辑，使得这种“迹”呈现标准化和可计量的特征，这也导致对显性痕迹的依赖和对真实绩效的忽视，从而滋生以“迹”为“绩”的痕迹主义。官僚制的负功能、国家治理视角的“狭窄性”、基层治理中的权责错位，三者交错叠加，共同促成了痕迹管理向痕迹主义的演化。

Abstract:
Trace management stems from a simplistic thinking of state governance. By abstracting and simplifying complex and specific governance practices into visual “traces” such as ledgers, texts, tables, pictures and videos, trace management can help promote the implementation of policies, strengthen the oversight of power and enhance the performance of government. The principles of archives management from bureaucracy and the logics of “clarification” and “simplification” of state governance, require such “traces” to show standardized and measurable features, which make it easy for the higher-level government to focus on the “traces” as key indicators and ignore the real “performance”. This eventually evolves into “traceism” which takes “traces” as “performance”. The negative function of bureaucracy, the “narrow” perspective of national governance and the power-responsibility dislocation in grass-roots governance, constitute the triple logic of the evolution of trace management into tracerism.
