儒教与道教 豆瓣
6.9 (9 个评分) 作者: [德国] 马克斯·韦伯 译者: 王容芬 商务印书馆 2004 - 11
本书是“汉译世界学术名著丛书”之一,作者马克斯.韦伯是德国著名的社会学家、哲学家,也是当代西方有影响的社会科学家之一。在本书中,韦伯所研究的课题是:中国为什么没有出现西方那样的资本主义?韦伯以较大的篇幅分析研究了中国的社会结构,又重点研究了建立在这种社会结构基础之上的中国正统文化--儒教伦理,同时还顺便考察了被视为异端的道教。韦伯将儒教与西方的清教作了较为透彻的分析比较,最后得出了一个结论:儒家伦理阻碍了中国资本主义的发展。

The Hidden Injuries of Class 豆瓣
作者: Sennett, Richard/ Cobb, Jonathan W W Norton & Co Inc 1993 - 10
In this intrepid, groundbreaking book, Richard Sennett and Jonathan Cobb uncover and define a new form of class conflict in America—an internal conflict in the heart and mind of the blue-collar worker who measures his own value against those lives and occupations to which our society gives a special premium. The authors conclude that in the games of hierarchical respect, no class can emerge the victor; and that true egalitarianism can be achieved only by rediscovering diverse concepts of human dignity. Examining personal feelings in terms of a totality of human relations, and looking beyond the struggle for economic survival, The Hidden Injuries of Class takes an important step forward in the sociological critique of everyday life.
山寨 豆瓣
Shanzhai. Dekonstruktion auf Chinesisch.
6.4 (12 个评分) 作者: (德) 韩炳哲 译者: 程巍 2023 - 1
中国思想从一开始就是解构的,因为它与存在和本质从根本上决裂开来。“道”(字面意思:道路)本身即是存在和本质的对立面。道是顺应变化的,而本质却是抗拒变化的。在无始也无终的过程中,或者说在道路上,“去—创造”和“非—实体”中的消极性使得存在变“空”。
对于中国思想来说,至关重要的不是有着绝对开始的创造,而是既无始也无终、既无生也无死的连续不断的过程。也正因为如此,东亚思想中既没有出现海德格尔那种对死亡的强调,也没有出现阿伦特那种对出生的强调。
过程和变化也主宰着中国的艺术史。那些不断改变着大师作品集,并使其不断适应新环境的再造或续作,本身就是大师级的作品。在中国,不断的转化即是一种创造和创新的方法。山寨运动将创新解构为“从虚无中创造”(“无中生有”),那么山寨就是“去—创造”。它把同一性与变化的差异,即把同一性与主动的、积极的差异化对立起来,把存在与过程对立起来,把本质与道路对立起来。以这种方式,山寨体现着真正的中国精神。

Entitled 豆瓣
作者: Jennifer C. Lena Princeton University Press 2019 - 8
Two centuries ago, wealthy entrepreneurs founded the American cathedrals of culture—museums, theater companies, and symphony orchestras—to mirror European art. But today’s American arts scene has widened to embrace multitudes: photography, design, comics, graffiti, jazz, and many other forms of folk, vernacular, and popular culture. What led to this dramatic expansion? In Entitled, Jennifer Lena shows how organizational transformations in the American art world—amid a shifting political, economic, technological, and social landscape—made such change possible.
By chronicling the development of American art from its earliest days to the present, Lena demonstrates that while the American arts may be more open, they are still unequal. She examines key historical moments, such as the creation of the Museum of Primitive Art and the funneling of federal and state subsidies during the New Deal to support the production and display of culture. Charting the efforts to define American genres, styles, creators, and audiences, Lena looks at the ways democratic values helped legitimate folk, vernacular, and commercial art, which was viewed as nonelite. Yet, even as art lovers have acquired an appreciation for more diverse culture, they carefully select and curate works that reflect their cosmopolitan, elite, and moral tastes.

本书关注的核心问题是二十世纪美国艺术的合法化是如何发生的?什么样的文化产物会被视为艺术而不是娱乐?除了传统被视为高端艺术的油画,歌剧等,还论及了电影,涂鸦,漫画,文身等。理论上作者,杂糅了布迪厄和新制度主义,强调关键的行动者aesthetic entrepreneurs的作用,以及艺术在追求disinterestedness过程像非盈利组织同形的趋势。其中研究原始艺术如何开始被博物馆收藏的第三章尤其有趣,也打破了我对大都会博物馆的美好滤镜。作者还把艺术合法性和文化挪用放一起讨论,也看出了这个理论框架拓展的可能性。此外,作者对美国文化社会学里研究品味的热潮浇了冷水,因为只关注品味本身忽视结构和历史变迁,会导致忽视当代精英看起来cosmopolitan和无阶级属性,实则是种掩盖。研究的情景是完全美国的,但很值得在别的语境下做研究。

Inside the Critics’ Circle 豆瓣
作者: Phillipa K. Chong Princeton University Press 2020 - 1
An inside look at the politics of book reviewing, from the assignment and writing of reviews to why critics think we should listen to what they have to say
Taking readers behind the scenes in the world of fiction reviewing, Inside the Critics’ Circle explores the ways that critics evaluate books despite the inherent subjectivity involved, and the uncertainties of reviewing when seemingly anyone can be a reviewer. Drawing on interviews with critics from such venues as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post, Phillipa Chong delves into the complexities of the review-writing process, including the considerations, values, and cultural and personal anxieties that shape what critics do.
Chong explores how critics are paired with review assignments, why they accept these time-consuming projects, how they view their own qualifications for reviewing certain books, and the criteria they employ when making literary judgments. She discovers that while their readers are of concern to reviewers, they are especially worried about authors on the receiving end of reviews. As these are most likely peers who will be returning similar favors in the future, critics’ fears and frustrations factor into their willingness or reluctance to write negative reviews.
At a time when traditional review opportunities are dwindling while other forms of reviewing thrive, book reviewing as a professional practice is being brought into question. Inside the Critics’ Circle offers readers a revealing look into critics’ responses to these massive transitions and how, through their efforts, literary values get made.
TikTok Cultures in the United States 豆瓣
作者: Trevor Boffone Routledge 2022 - 4
TikTok Cultures in the United States examines the role of TikTok in US popular culture, paying close attention to the app’s growing body of subcultures.
Featuring an array of scholars from varied disciplines and backgrounds, this book uses TikTok (sub)cultures as a point of departure from which to explore TikTok’s role in US popular culture today. Engaging with the extensive and growing scholarship on TikTok from international scholars, chapters in this book create frameworks and blueprints from which to analyze TikTok within a distinctly US context, examining topics such as gender and sexuality, feminism, race and ethnicity and wellness.
Shaping TikTok as an interdisciplinary field in and of itself, this insightful and timely volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of new and digital media, social media, popular culture, communication studies, sociology of media, dance, gender studies, and performance studies.

In a Shade of Blue 豆瓣
作者: Glaude, Eddie S., Jnr Univ of Chicago Pr 2007 - 2
In this provocative book, Eddie S. Glaude Jr. makes an impassioned plea for black America to address its social problems by recourse to experience - and with an eye set on the promise and potential of the future, rather than the fixed ideas and categories of the past. Central to Glaude's mission is a rehabilitation of philosopher John Dewey, whose ideas, he argues, can be fruitfully applied to a renewal of African American politics.According to Glaude, Dewey's pragmatism, when attentive to the darker dimensions of life - or what we often speak of as the blues - can address many of the conceptual problems that plague contemporary African American discourse. How blacks think about themselves, how they imagine their own history, and how they conceive of their own actions can be rendered in ways that escape bad ways of thinking that assume a tendentious political unity among African Americans simply because they are black. Drawing deeply on black religious thought and literature, "In a Shade of Blue" seeks to dislodge such crude and simplistic thinking and replace it with a deeper understanding of and appreciation for black life in all its variety and intricacy. Glaude argues that only when black political leaders acknowledge such complexity can the real-life sufferings of many African Americans be remedied, an argument echoed in the recent rhetoric and optimism of Barack Obama's presidential campaign."In a Shade of Blue" is a remarkable work of political commentary, and to follow its trajectory is to learn how African Americans arrived at this critical moment in their cultural and political history - and to envision where they might head in the twenty-first century.

Redistribution or Recognition? 豆瓣
作者: Nancy Fraser / Axel Honneth 译者: Christiane Wilke Verso 2003
"Recognition" has become a veritable keyword of our time, but its relation to economic "redistribution" remains untheorized. This volume remedies the lacuna by staging a debate between two philosophers, one North American, the other European, who hold different views of the matter. Highly attuned to contemporary politics, the exchange between Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth constitutes a rigorous dialogue on moral philosophy, social theory, and the best way to conceptualize capitalist society.

作者: [美]戴维·哈维 译者: 阎嘉 商务印书馆 2003 - 11
《后现代的状况:对文化变迁之缘起的探究》是西文新马克思主义代表人物戴维·哈维新近的力作。全书力图从20世纪晚期资本主义社会的经济转变,即从大规模的流水线生产向小规模、灵活的生产方式转变,来探讨资本主义文化从现代性向后现代性转变的根源。资本主义生产方式的这种转变所导致的文化上的表现,就是人们体验时间和空间方式的改变,是新一轮的“时空压缩”,造成了一个在文化特征上的“拼贴社会”。
Achieving Our Country 豆瓣
作者: Richard Rorty Harvard University Press 1999 - 9
The author argues that the Left wing in America sees the sins of America's past poisoning hope for the future, and challenges the "lost" generation of the Left to understand the role it might play in the tradition of democratic intellectual labour that started with writers like Walt Whitman and John Dewey. The book traces the source of the debilitating mentality of shame in the Left of how national pride and American patriotism come to seem an endorsement of atrocites - from slavery to the slaughter of Native Americans, from the felling of ancient forests to the Vietnam War. At the centre of this history is the conflict between the Old Left and the New that arose during the Vietnam War era. The author describes how the paradoxical victory of the antiwar movement, ushering in the Nixon years, encouraged a disillusioned generation of intellectuals to pursue "High Theory" at the expense of considering the place of ideas in our common life. He sees a retreat from secularism and pragmatism, and decries the tendency of the heirs of the New Left to theorize about the United States from a distance instead of participating in the civic work of shaping our national future. Richard Rorty looks to redress the imbalance in American cultural life by rallying those on the Left to the civic engagement and inspiration needed for "achieving our country".

Discipline and Punish 豆瓣
作者: Michel Foucault 译者: Alan Sheridan Penguin 1991 - 4
In the middle ages there were gaols and dungeons, but punishment was for the most part a spectacle. The economic changes and growing popular dissent of the eighteenth century made necessary a more systematic control over the individual members of society, and this in effect meant a change from punishment, which chastised the body, to reform, which touched the soul.
Foucault shows in fascinating detail the development of the Western system of prisons, police organizations, administrative and legal hierarchies of social control --- and the growth of disciplinary society as a whole. He also reveals that the comparison between a school and a prison is not purely facetious --- prisons, schools, factories, barracks and hospitals all share a common organization, in which it is possible to control the use of an individual's time and space hour by hour.

Social Character in a Mexican Village 豆瓣
作者: Erich Fromm / Michael Maccoby 1996
After the completion of the revolution in 1920, Mexico quickly became an increasingly industrialized country. The vast changes that occurred in the first fifty years after the revolution inspired Erich Fromm and Michael Maccoby to find out how the Mexican people were adapting. The result, Social Character in a Mexican Village, provides a new approach to the analysis of social phenomena.
The authors applied Fromm's theories of psychoanalysis to the study of groups. They devised an ingenious method of questionnaires, which, combined with direct observation, clearly revealed the psychic forces that motivated the peasant population. In his new introduction, Michael Maccoby thoroughly explains the basis of the study, how it originated, and how it was carried out. He goes on to delineate the results and determine their impact on the present day. Social Character in a Mexican Village throws new light on one of the world's most pressing problems, the impact of the industrialized world on the traditional character of the peasant. This ground-breaking work will be invaluable to the work of sociologists, anthropologists, and psychoanalysts.

The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism
8.4 (5 个评分) 作者: [美] 丹尼尔·贝尔 译者: 蒲隆 / 赵一凡 生活·读书·新知三联书店 1989 - 5
本书论述的不仅仅是资本主义文化矛盾。它在稍广的意义上涉及到资产阶级社会的矛盾。商人和制造业主创建了这一新世界。十六世纪后,中产或资产阶级又对社会加以现代化革命,他们扭转了人们对军事或宗教的关切,把经济活动变成了社会的中心任务。
资本主义是这样一个社会经济系统:它同建立在成本核算基础上的商品生产挂钩,依靠资本的持续积累来扩大再投资。然而,这种独特的新式运转模式牵涉着一套独特文化和一种品格构造。〔characterstructure]。在文化上,它的特征是自我实现,即把个人从传统束缚和归属纽带(家庭或血统)中解脱出来,以便他按照主观意愿“造就”自我。在品格构造上,它确立了自我控制规范和延期报偿原则[delayedgratification〕,培养出为追求既定目的所需的严肃意向行为方式。正是这种经济系统与文化、品格构造的交融关系组成了资产阶级文明。而分解这一结合体及其内在意义,正是贯穿本书的主题线索。

作者: Robert N. Bellah / Richard Madsen University of California Press 1996 - 5
Meanwhile, the authors' antidote to the American sickness--a quest for democratic community that draws on our diverse civic and religious traditions--has contributed to a vigorous scholarly and popular debate. Attention has been focused on forms of social organization, be it civil society, democratic communitarianism, or associative democracy, that can humanize the market and the administrative state. In their new Introduction the authors relate the argument of their book both to the current realities of American society and to the growing debate about the country's future. With this new edition one of the most influential books of recent times takes on a new immediacy.
组织人 豆瓣
作者: [美] 威廉姆.怀特 北京大学出版社 2020 - 7
社会上的大多数人都是有组织的人,因为他们一生中有大量时间都是在各种组织中度过的,从而成为毫无个性的“组织人”。作者将企业描绘成由一系列复杂的审核系统及多层结构所支撑的一个自我包含和自我发展的世界。在这个世界里,企业被视为核心。昔日以工作-节俭来衡量成功的伦理标准已经过时,成为一些高层管理者的借口,以前由企业主们艰苦奋斗去获得成功的状况也被专职的企业管理者所代替。人们逐渐变得相信组织和群体可以做出比个体更好的决策,从而要比提升个人创造力能更好地服务于社会。作者认为这种看法有违事实,通过调查20世纪50年代美国企业中的实际情况,对组织人的个性及价值观提出了质疑,批判了那种扼杀个人创造性和压抑个性的企业生活。
