When one defines order as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was The Order of Things that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls exotic charm. Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.

两代学人，跨越北京、牛津、温州、杭州、上海五地，历时三年完成了这场谈话。从项飙教授的个人经验切入，追索一系列超越自我的问题，其中涉及对中国社会半个世纪以来的变化、知识共同体、全球化与民粹主义、人类学方法论等题目的思考。这本书提供了一份对话实录，也给出了一种审视问题、 思维操练的方法——在自我泛滥的潮流中，如何给自己定位，在全球化的年代，如何创造性地建设身边的小世界，在思想受困的社会，如何回答宏大的命题。

本书指出，今天的人文学科是“二战”之后在美国学界发展和兴盛起来的。人文学科被构思为一种对美国文化的表达，是体现美国国家利益的一种工具，其在概念上描绘了“美国之梦”：人文学科代表了共和国建立之初美国人对一个安全而繁荣的国家的渴望和向往；在那样的国度里，人民能够纯粹地享受并欣赏文化，它们用学术术语，体现出了对于美国国民性格的一种理想化概念。人文学科这一概念已由美国播撒到世界各地，并仍然是美国对高等教育所做出的最显著、最宝贵的贡献之一。
书中所收入的文章不仅受惠于哈派姆作为美国国家人文中心主任的优势，也得益于他在海外以及在美国空军学院的丰富教学经历，故而能够为读者思考历史、意识形态和人文学科的未来这一重要话题提供一个至为重要的视角。

那是一個你無法好好哀悼，無法好好愛的時代。
那些被棄於街頭、回收廠、廢墟裡的腳踏車，每一個零件的縫隙都還留著故事……
一封讀者的來信、一張照片、老眷村廢棄房舍的地下室、二戰期間一支神祕的銀輪部隊、緬北森林的大象運輸隊、圓山動物園，以及一場樹的戰役⋯⋯一切從一部小說裡被遺忘的腳踏車開始。
故事從失蹤了二十年的父親及一輛幸福牌腳踏車說起。
「我」的父親失蹤於一九九三年中華商場被拆的隔天。一天我在翻閱家族相簿時，一張陌生人和一輛熟悉腳踏車的照片觸動了我想追尋父親及失蹤多年的幸福牌腳踏車的決心，而一個讀者的來信則讓那輛腳踏車從虛構小說進入現實⋯⋯
「我」藉由收集各種幸福牌腳踏車的機會，認識了喜愛收藏舊貨的阿布、酷愛古董腳踏車的小夏，以及放有那輛酷似父親幸福牌腳踏車的咖啡店店主、熱愛攝影的鄒族青年阿巴斯。
透過阿巴斯父親的錄音帶，一場人們與動物、森林同遭傷害的戰爭重現眼前⋯⋯
全書以我們最熟悉的腳踏車為主軸，藉由尋找失蹤父親及腳踏車，透過島嶼的地景，交錯拉出一個個現實與回憶的故事——閱讀這部小說彷彿經歷了一趟關於生存與死亡、命運與運命，時代不仁的感傷旅程。
人類有一天會知道，象和他們一樣理解黑夜、雨季、星象與傷心。當長老母象倒地時，其他的象完全停步，圍繞著牠。牠們用長鼻摩挲著彼此的背，發出不可思議的輕柔低哼聲。夜晚氣溫逆轉，較接近地面處形成較佳的傳音層，那低哼聲因此得以傳到遠方的山谷，而後又嗡嗡迴響回營地。那被放大的、多層次的音響讓一旁的士兵感到悽愴而溫暖，他們體會到了象的傷心，因此也為自己傷心起來。他們想起了遠方的情人與親族、死去的同僚、曾經握著陽具與槍的斷臂，以及不可能再長出來的眼珠。
——《單車失竊記》
吳明益說：「寫這部小說並不是基於懷舊的感傷，而是出自於對那個我未曾經歷時代的尊崇，以及對人生不可回復經驗的致意。透過這樣一個從尋找腳踏車，意外進入某個時間之流的故事，我期待讀者與書中人物彼此能感受到彼此的情感、踏踩時的頻率、汗味與不諧調的呼吸、流淚與不流淚的悲傷。
但沒有人停下來，不必彼此呼喚、親吻，就只要無聲、艱難、飢渴又平靜地踏踩下去。」

用纯真的双眼捕捉孤独的角落
被张大春誉为撑起21世纪小说江山的两位作家之一
台湾吴浊流文学奖、联合报文学奖、时报文学奖得主

☆ 袁哲生以冷静节制的短篇小说风格和骆以军并列为台湾1960年代最优秀的小说家，也是 被张大春誉为“撑起21世纪小说江山 ”的两位作家之一，还影响童伟格、甘耀明、高翊峰、王聪威等一批台湾年轻作者，如果，袁哲生继续写下去，或许他会是当今台湾最杰出的小说家……
☆ 美国小说家海明威曾提出著名的冰山理论，写作者在书写上只留下八分之一给读者，另外八分之七则隐匿其踪。向来崇拜海明威冰山理论的袁哲生，也在这本《寂寞的游戏》展现出一种专属于他自己的冰山书写。通过一贯冷静的文字、简约的结构，他留下十分之一的部分；字里行间的处处留白，则隐藏十分之九的深邃意涵让读者自行摸索。当读者感受到那十分之九时，袁哲生的文字意义才真正展现出来。
………………
※内容简介※
在这一本由七篇短篇小说组成的《寂寞的游戏》中，袁哲生通过各种不同的人际情感，例如父母与儿子之间的亲情，年少时同学之间的友情，或是两人结婚多年的夫妻之情，一再地去捕捉寂寞这种“生而为人必定面临的困境感”，字里行间处处散发孤独的感觉。寂寞、孤独一直是文学作品中常见的基调，也是许多作家竭力描述的情感，但是，当我们在《寂寞的游戏》中仔细品味袁哲生冷静节制的文字后，终将会发现一种袁哲生独有的寂寞书写。
………………
※名人推荐※
在袁哲生最好的作品里，他显然不满足于白描人生片段而已，而要借叙述的形式，表达更复杂的看法。这使他得以超越写实模拟的限制，曾获大奖的《送行》正是如此。故事中的父亲带著小儿子坐火车，为落网逃兵的大儿子送行；之后小儿子再到海港送别父亲。如是辗转，人物关系渐行渐远，叙事力量也越来越淡。一篇讲亲情的小说，竟反衬出天地不仁，何以为寄的孤绝感。亲如骨肉，又能如何？
——文学评论学者 王德威
《送行》的作者对文字有极其精到的控制力，使读者一直处于某种“距离”之外的冷静状态。刻意压低抹淡的腔调反而令港式小镇里浮来游去的小人物因面目模糊而益显卑微、落寞。作者大量使用的白描笔触非但不会由于“没有刻画出人物的心理变化”而流于空疏，反倒经由人物错身而逝的际遇、彼此不相连缀的动作、遭遇来交叠衬显出作者尤深的关切——人类存在的断片性和疏离性。
——当代华文作家 张大春
他用强烈的表达意愿，代替节制和省略。他想把个人的感受和社会的现状融合在一起，成为文学的一体。但是，他并未忘却隐藏的工夫。他想在表露和隐含之间，求取平衡。他用丰富而正确的现实描述，来建立他的作品的架构。他也了解，要进入社会的深处，才能追求到他的目标。
——台湾小说家 郑清文

时间永恒地停了下来
深邃的爱情流转出更多面貌
我们却从不知道它有多美好
被誉为撑起21世纪小说江山的两位作家之一
袁哲生首次完整探索爱情的突破之作
◎ 编辑推荐
☆ “我要赶在遗忘之前，抢救对爱情的记忆。”（袁哲生《一切都是短篇 》）经过长期“捕捉孤独的角落”，创作到后期的袁哲生首次将眼光转向另一个普遍的文学主题：爱情。他在《猴子》《罗汉池》这两部作品中，以书写追问：“爱情可以有多好？”爱情，是他的创作核心。可是当我们跟随着袁哲生，从小说的开头缓缓地走向结局，却能隐约感觉到，作品中还存在爱情之外的种种要素，让人无法明确地言说。作为后来的读者，我们无法知道小说家是否有意如此；但能肯定的是，袁哲生确实又一次在普遍的文学主题中，写出让人值得反复寻味的作品。
☆ “‘宗教’与‘爱情’同样追随者衆，同样‘层次’丰富。”袁哲生创作后期也越来越常在作品中加入宗教色彩，本书收录的《罗汉池》将十八罗汉、贵妃观音等宗教雕像与爱情、艺术创作联系在一起，“入世的爱情”“出世的宗教”“艺术创作的本质”三者彼此结合，让《罗汉池》不同于袁哲生早期的抒情之作，小说具有的抒情意境犹如一则传说般格外深远。
☆ 一直以来潜藏在冰山下钻研短篇的袁哲生，在这部为数不多的中篇小说集里，以短篇为基础，运用不同的视角、相同的人物、类似的句子和断裂的时间，重复书写同样的故事。同时，将许多冲突省略、掩盖，静谧的氛围弥漫全书。一部“小说”，没有大量明显的冲突，也没有复杂曲折的情节，却在袁哲生的语言调动下，发展出更丰富的样貌。
◎ 内容简介
雨水不断降下，被隔绝在朦胧雨景中的爱情，让安静的眷村少年无数次来到心仪女孩梁羽玲的家门前。月亮重复升起，被笼罩在残存黄昏里的爱情，令雕刻匠建兴仔一直无法成功打造出庄严的佛像。他刻出的雕像轮廓始终近似倾心的对象小月娘，过于艳丽。
他们都是深情的人，但一往而深之后的爱情，究竟能多美好？若注定无法寻得，又能如何靠近？
◎ 名人推荐
袁哲生就像所有优秀现代小说家，尝试凭借个人语言劳动，孤自潜入存有的幽暗处，像一名最专诚的翻译者，以小说，译写出午后雨点，盛夏蝉鸣，与一切景象，所共同亲熟的本质性悲伤。使长久埋伏的，在小说里恍然兑实。另一方面，当这种纯粹悲伤，漫漶小说里一切人事时，袁哲生总使日常细节，对我们而言再度陌异了：因为袁哲生，我们竟不可能确知，人世里，什么可以“不孤独”。
—— 台湾小说家 童伟格
《猴子》《罗汉池》都是说故事，前者是较为“正常”的青少年世界（常见诸于小说）；后者则回返早年的抒情诗手法，更扩大发展至寓言空间，较为精巧地设计隐喻象征，角色寓意与情节的对比，读起来与其说有沈从文的影子，不如说更接近汪曾祺——混合《受戒》与《大淖纪事》，却是台湾前现代的世俗空间——追求诗的审美意境与救赎，接近“京派”的教义。
—— 马华文学作家 黄锦树
社会规范、道德教训与“成为一个男人的必要条件”，皆透过成长小说偷渡、传播，投射出一般人的成长过程中匮乏且无从填补的幻想，《猴子》选取传统成长小说中不会被多加着墨的普通人为叙事者，呈现另一型态的，充满挫败、不满，对传统成长小说论述幻灭的过程。
—— 台湾小说家 张耀升

In Symbolic Violence Michael Burawoy brings Pierre Bourdieu into an extended debate
with Marxism—a tradition Bourdieu ostensibly avoided. While Bourdieu’s expansive body of work stands as a critique of Marx’s inadequate account of cultural domination, Burawoy shows how Bourdieu’s eschewal and rejection of Marxism led him to miss out on a number of productive theoretical engagements. In eleven “conversations,” Burawoy outlines the intellectual and biographical parallels and divergences between Bourdieu and the work of preeminent Marxist thinkers. Among many topics, Burawoy examines Bourdieu’s appropriation and silencing of Beauvoir and her theory of masculine domination; the commonalities as well as differences in Bourdieu’s and Fanon’s thought on colonialism and revolution; the extent to which Gramsci’s theory of hegemony aligns with Bourdieu’s notion of symbolic violence; and how Freire and Bourdieu both understood education as the site of oppression. In showing how Bourdieu has more in common with these thinkers than Bourdieu himself cared to admit, Burawoy offers a critical assessment of Bourdieu’s work that illuminates its paradoxes and reaffirms its significance for the twenty-first century.

The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and Eric Garner in New York City have challenged the impunity with which officers of the law carry out violence against Black people and punctured the illusion of a postracial America. The Black Lives Matter movement has awakened a new generation of activists.
In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment. In this context, she argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for Black liberation.

Why great powers decline, from Spain to the United States
The extent and irreversibility of US decline is becoming ever more obvious as America loses war after war and as one industry after another loses its technological edge. Lachmann explains why the United States will not be able to sustain its global dominance, and contrasts America's relatively brief period of hegemony with the Netherlands' similarly short primacy and Britain's far longer era of leadership.
Decline in all those cases was not inevitable and did not respond to global capitalist cycles. Rather, decline is the product of elites' success in grabbing control over resources and governmental powers. Not only are ordinary people harmed, but also capitalists become increasingly unable to coordinate their interests and adopt policies and make investments necessary to counter economic and geopolitical competitors elsewhere in the world.
Conflicts among elites and challenges by non-elites determine the timing and mold the contours of decline. Lachmann traces the transformation of US politics from an era of elite consensus to present-day paralysis combined with neoliberal plunder, explains the paradox of an American military with an unprecedented technological edge unable to subdue even the weakest enemies, and the consequences of finance's cannibalization of the US economy.

In this innovative collaborative ethnography of Italian-Chinese ventures in the fashion industry, Lisa Rofel and Sylvia J. Yanagisako offer a new methodology for studying transnational capitalism. Drawing on their respective linguistic and regional areas of expertise, Rofel and Yanagisako show how different historical legacies of capital, labor, nation, and kinship are crucial in the formation of global capitalism. Focusing on how Italian fashion is manufactured, distributed, and marketed by Italian-Chinese ventures and how their relationships have been complicated by China's emergence as a market for luxury goods, the authors illuminate the often-overlooked processes that produce transnational capitalism—including privatization, negotiation of labor value, rearrangement of accumulation, reconfiguration of kinship, and outsourcing of inequality. In so doing, Fabricating Transnational Capitalism reveals the crucial role of the state and the shifting power relations between nations in shaping the ideas and practices of the Italian and Chinese partners.

Chinese residential communities are places of intense governing and an arena of active political engagement between state and society. In The Government Next Door, Luigi Tomba investigates how the goals of a government consolidated in a distant authority materialize in citizens' everyday lives. Chinese neighborhoods reveal much about the changing nature of governing practices in the country. Government action is driven by the need to preserve social and political stability, but such priorities must adapt to the progressive privatization of urban residential space and an increasingly complex set of societal forces. Tomba’s vivid ethnographic accounts of neighborhood life and politics in Beijing, Shenyang, and Chengdu depict how such local "translation" of government priorities takes place.
Tomba reveals how different clusters of residential space are governed more or less intensely depending on the residents’ social status; how disgruntled communities with high unemployment are still managed with the pastoral strategies typical of the socialist tradition, while high-income neighbors are allowed greater autonomy in exchange for a greater concern for social order. Conflicts are contained by the gated structures of the neighborhoods to prevent systemic challenges to the government, and middle-class lifestyles have become exemplars of a new, responsible form of citizenship. At times of conflict and in daily interactions, the penetration of the state discourse about social stability becomes clear.

Conservative pundits allege that the pervasive liberalism of America's colleges and universities has detrimental effects on undergraduates, most particularly right-leaning ones. Yet not enough attention has actually been paid to young conservatives to test these claims--until now.
In Becoming Right, Amy Binder and Kate Wood carefully explore who conservative students are, and how their beliefs and political activism relate to their university experiences. Which parts of conservatism do these students identify with? How do their political identities evolve on campus? And what do their educational experiences portend for their own futures--and for the future of American conservatism?
Becoming Right demonstrates the power that campus culture has in developing students' conservative political styles and shows that young conservatives are made, not born. Focusing on two universities--"Eastern Elite" and "Western Public"--Binder and Wood discover that what is acceptable, or even celebrated, political speech and action on one campus might be unthinkable on another. Right-leaning students quickly learn the styles of conservatism that are appropriate for their schools. Though they might be expected to simply plug into the national conservative narrative--via media from Fox News to Facebook--college conservatives actually enact their politics in starkly different ways.
Rich in interviews and insight, Becoming Right illustrates that the diverse conservative movement evolving among today's college students holds important implications for the direction of American politics.

为什么中产阶级的家长都成了“虎爸虎妈”，作为“直升机式”教育方法的信徒，把孩子们照看得密不透风？
为什么这些中产阶级的孩子，虽能在学术履历的“军备竞赛”中脱颖而出，却在青春期时成为前所未见的脆弱一代，从焦虑到抑郁，这一代似乎毫无免疫力？
为什么生于互联网时代，孩子们却惯于在社交媒体构筑的虚拟世界里寻找意见的共鸣，面对不同的观点和立场，用举报的方式来消除自己的不安全感？

从幼儿园开始，孩子们的每一天都要受到父母的严格安排和设计。放学后，不再能自由玩耍，而要参加各种补习班以及其他有人组织并监管的活动，唯一的目的就是要超过其他孩子。
生于互联网时代，大学生却惯于在社交媒体构筑的虚拟世界里寻找意见的共鸣，面对不同的观点和立场，他们往往用举报的方式来消除自己的不安全感。
进入21世纪的第二个十年，美国青少年患抑郁症和焦虑症的比例大幅激增，自杀率呈现急剧上升的趋势。心理焦虑，已经成为大学生寻求心理治疗的首要问题。
与其为孩子铺好路，不如让孩子学会如何走好路。有些善意的保护可能会适得其反，过度保护和过度教育，反而会让我们的孩子成为“脆弱的一代”。这不能简单归咎于父母和教育管理者，更不能归咎于“娇惯”的孩子，全社会应共同反思和努力做出改变。

A national bestseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation and gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described by The New York Times Book Review as "sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle...all presented in searing, brilliant prose," The Fire Next Time stands as a classic of our literature.

Frequent reports of honor killings, disfigurement, and sensational abuse have given rise to a consensus in the West, a message propagated by human rights groups and the media: Muslim women need to be rescued. Lila Abu-Lughod boldly challenges this conclusion. An anthropologist who has been writing about Arab women for thirty years, she delves into the predicaments of Muslim women today, questioning whether generalizations about Islamic culture can explain the hardships these women face and asking what motivates particular individuals and institutions to promote their rights.
In recent years Abu-Lughod has struggled to reconcile the popular image of women victimized by Islam with the complex women she has known through her research in various communities in the Muslim world. Here, she renders that divide vivid by presenting detailed vignettes of the lives of ordinary Muslim women, and showing that the problem of gender inequality cannot be laid at the feet of religion alone. Poverty and authoritarianism--conditions not unique to the Islamic world, and produced out of global interconnections that implicate the West--are often more decisive. The standard Western vocabulary of oppression, choice, and freedom is too blunt to describe these women's lives.
Do Muslim Women Need Saving? is an indictment of a mindset that has justified all manner of foreign interference, including military invasion, in the name of rescuing women from Islam--as well as a moving portrait of women's actual experiences, and of the contingencies with which they live.

For the last twenty years, Melinda Gates has been on a mission to find solutions for people with the most urgent needs, wherever they live. Throughout this journey, one thing has become increasingly clear to her: If you want to lift a society up, you need to stop keeping women down.
In this moving and compelling book, Melinda shares lessons she’s learned from the inspiring people she’s met during her work and travels around the world. As she writes in the introduction, “That is why I had to write this book―to share the stories of people who have given focus and urgency to my life. I want all of us to see ways we can lift women up where we live.”
Melinda’s unforgettable narrative is backed by startling data as she presents the issues that most need our attention―from child marriage to lack of access to contraceptives to gender inequity in the workplace. And, for the first time, she writes about her personal life and the road to equality in her own marriage. Throughout, she shows how there has never been more opportunity to change the world―and ourselves.
Writing with emotion, candor, and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting with one another.
When we lift others up, they lift us up, too.
