Why do people keep fighting for social causes in the face of consistent failure? Why do they risk their physical, emotional, and financial safety on behalf of strangers? How do these groups survive high turnover and emotional burnout? To explore these questions, Erika Summers Effler undertook three years of ethnographic fieldwork with two groups: the anti - death penalty activists STOP and Catholic Workers, who strive to alleviate poverty. In both communities, members must contend with problems that range from the broad to the intimately personal. Adverse political conditions, internal conflict, and fluctuations in financial resources create a backdrop of daily frustration - but watching an addict relapse or an inmate's execution are much more devastating setbacks. Summers Effler finds that overcoming these obstacles, recovering from failure, and maintaining the integrity of the group require a constant process of emotional fine-tuning, and she demonstrates how activists do this through thoughtful analysis and a lucid rendering of their deeply affecting stories.

　　「田野」不只是一種研究工具。
　　「田野」更是不確定年代的處世技藝！

　　田野是什麼？「田野」一直在改變。

　　今日，在許多意想不到的空間，越來越多人在「做田野」。不論是在紐約華爾街、西方與非西方的科學實驗室、世界各地的電子工廠、醫院診所、瀕臨絕種的紅毛猩猩棲地、「第二人生」的線上虛擬遊戲，甚至是殘酷的戰場邊緣。有越來越多領域伸臂擁抱「田野」，期待「田野」能帶來更正確的市場評估、更精準的受眾認識，協助解決更多社會問題。在這個全球化的年代，不只強調演算法的大數據夯；與大數據精神完全相反，強調「純手工、親體驗」的田野工作，也正夯。

　　反觀已經強調「田野工作」一百年的人類學者，卻丟出了一個個對「田野」的疑惑。什麼是田野的典範？傳統田野強調的長期浸淫，在今日高度破碎化的社會中還有什麼意義？對田野又愛又恨的人類學者，在田野裡沮喪受傷，卻依然痴心不悔，只因為田野帶她／他們在最不可能的地方遇見愛。

　　《辶反田野：人類學異托邦故事集》是一本非典型卻讓人大開眼界、回味無窮的田野故事集。書裡不會給你「什麼是田野」的定義，或「如何做田野」的SOP，但會娓娓道來田野工作者如何與國家機器、綠能、小農、原運、社運、移工、科學家，乃至動物植物真心地相遇。

　　田野如何與國家、體制「對話」？旁聽立法院開會、參與發展計畫，甚至介入決策機構與當地居民的風電爭議，這些「非典型田野」獲得了什麼？人類學者回饋了什麼？

　　怎麼拿捏與「報導人」的關係？用臉書做田野是不得不為，但也因而見到報導人更真實的一面？進入工廠也要畫親屬圖？人類學者在香港菲傭的選美大賽中扮演什麼角色？都蘭阿美族跟峇里島華人社群，人類學者在哪裡才是局內人？部落長老說，外來者更適合記錄傳統儀式禁忌，為什麼？

　　宗教、科學、人類學可以產生怎樣的互動？於是，人類學者與穆斯林科學家，一起探詢伊斯蘭清真戒律如何進入自然科學實驗室。人類學一定得研究「人」嗎？可不可以賦予「他者」更寬廣的定義？

　　「辶反」是反對、反思，也是奔赴與回返。多義的書名，層層翻轉的世界觀。

　　「反田野」，是對人類學古典田野工作範式與大眾想像的「反對」及「反思」，同時也帶出田野這門技藝之於當代的回應。「返田野」，是人類學者們關於「返回」田野的思考，並透過不同田野的對比與反差、不同田野的斷裂與承接，探問田野工作的本質。「辶」有忽走忽停與奔走的流動意涵，「辶反田野」因而帶入更多時間性的思考：田野可以如何回應人生不同階段的困惑與陰影；田野中的互動醞釀了什麼？生成了什麼？

　　書中的思考承接了過往人類學反省的基本精神，但更強調從空間的反思進入時間的反思，並迎向非生產性導向的另類時間觀，裡面有學習、醞釀，與等待，更有驚喜、頓悟與啟發。這一切看似缺乏「效率」與浪費「時間」，卻正有助於捕捉複雜繽紛的動態真實。

　　原來，田野不只是研究工具，更會改變生命，甚至是面對當代生活種種危機、災難、創傷，與不確定性的人生必備技藝。
　　10位人類學家、10個田野故事，讓你對田野的想像更上層樓。
　　歡迎光臨，田野異托邦。

In business, as in other aspects of life, we learn and grow from the examples set by others. Imitation can lead to innovation. But in order to grow innovatively, how do businesses decide what firms to imitate? And how do they choose what practices to follow? Learning by Example takes an unprecedented look at the benchmarking initiative of a major financial institution. David Strang closely follows twenty-one teams of managers sent out to observe the practices of other companies in order to develop recommendations for change in their own organization. Through extensive interviews, surveys, and archival materials, Strang reveals that benchmarking promotes a distinctive managerial regime with potential benefits and pitfalls. He explores the organizations treated as models of best practice, the networks that surround a bank and form its reference group, the ways managers craft calls for change, and the programs implemented in the wake of vicarious learning. Strang finds that imitation does not occur through mindless conformity. Instead, managers act creatively, combining what they see in external site visits with their bank's strategic objectives, interpreted in light of their understanding of rational and progressive management. Learning by Example opens the black box of interorganizational diffusion to show how managers interpret, advocate, and implement innovations

Public discourse on Asian parenting tends to fixate on ethnic culture as a static value set, disguising the fluidity and diversity of Chinese parenting. Such stereotypes also fail to account for the challenges of raising children in a rapidly modernizing world, full of globalizing values. In Raising Global Families Pei-Chia Lan examines how ethnic Chinese parents in Taiwan and the United States negotiate cultural differences and class inequality to raise children in the contexts of globalization and immigration. She draws on a uniquely comparative, multi-sited research model with four groups of parents: middle-class and working-class parents in Taiwan, and middle-class and working-class Chinese immigrants in the Boston area. Despite sharing a similar ethnic cultural background, these parents develop class-specific, context-sensitive strategies for arranging their children's education, care, and discipline, and coping with uncertainties provoked by their changing surroundings. Lan's cross-Pacific comparison demonstrates that class inequality permeates the fabric of family life, even as it takes shape in different ways across national contexts.

Over the past three decades, economic sociology has been revealing how culture shapes economic life even while economic facts affect social relationships. This work has transformed the field into a flourishing and increasingly influential discipline. No one has played a greater role in this development than Viviana Zelizer, one of the world's leading sociologists. Economic Lives synthesizes and extends her most important work to date, demonstrating the full breadth and range of her field-defining contributions in a single volume for the first time.
Economic Lives shows how shared cultural understandings and interpersonal relations shape everyday economic activities. Far from being simple responses to narrow individual incentives and preferences, economic actions emerge, persist, and are transformed by our relations to others. Distilling three decades of research, the book offers a distinctive vision of economic activity that brings out the hidden meanings and social actions behind the supposedly impersonal worlds of production, consumption, and asset transfer. Economic Lives ranges broadly from life insurance marketing, corporate ethics, household budgets, and migrant remittances to caring labor, workplace romance, baby markets, and payments for sex. These examples demonstrate an alternative approach to explaining how we manage economic activity--as well as a different way of understanding why conventional economic theory has proved incapable of predicting or responding to recent economic crises.
Providing an important perspective on the recent past and possible futures of a growing field, Economic Lives promises to be widely read and discussed.

In this completely revised and updated edition of international bestseller WATCHING THE ENGLISH, anthropologist Kate Fox takes a revealing look at the quirks, habits and foibles of the English people.
Now with new survey data to add weight to her original fieldwork findings, and more extensive field-research and experiments to back up earlier observations, Kate Fox has deciphered yet more enigmatic behaviour codes, adding new rules, new subcultures, new chapters and over 100 updates. If you're English, this new edition of Kate Fox's acclaimed international bestseller will make you stand back and re-examine everything you take for granted - and if you aren't English you'll finally understand all our peculiar little ways.
WATCHING THE ENGLISH has sold more than half a million copies and has been translated into many languages. Not only a worldwide bestseller, but also a set text for university anthropology courses, WATCHING THE ENGLISH has been widely praised as a revealing and entertaining dissection of the English national character.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Brazil struggled to rebuild its democracy after twenty years of military dictatorship, experiencing financial crises, corruption scandals, political protest, and intense electoral contention. In the midst of this turmoil, Ann Mische argues in this remarkable book, youth activists of various stripes played a vital and unrecognized role, contributing new forms of political talk and action to Brazil's emerging democracy. Drawing upon extensive and rich ethnography as well as formal network analysis, Mische tracks the lives of young activists through intersecting political networks, including student movements, church-based activism, political parties, nongovernmental organizations, and business and professional organizations. She probes the problems and possibilities they encountered in combining partisan activism with other kinds of civic involvement. In documenting activists' struggles to develop cross-partisan publics of various kinds, Mische explores the distinct styles of communication and leadership that emerged across organizations and among individuals. Drawing on the ideas of Habermas, Gramsci, Dewey, and Machiavelli, "Partisan Publics" highlights political communication styles and the forms of mediation and leadership they give rise to - for democratic politics in Brazil and elsewhere. Insightful in its discussion of culture, methodology, and theory, "Partisan Publics" argues that partisanship can play a significant role in civic life, helping to build relations and institutions in an emerging democracy.

美国最大的城市生产废物的速度真是飞快——每天平均11000吨。不过纽约人对此关注甚少。他们把垃圾丢在路边或扔进垃圾桶，之后马上忘记。为什么要记住呢？按照一个准得不能再准的时程表，总会有人来拿走它们的。不过，那些人到底是谁？为什么那些人那么默默无闻？
人类学家罗宾·内葛花了十年时间与纽约城市环卫部的各层级男女员工一起工作。从访谈者到局内人，她开着笨重的大卡车，看到含糊的规则，听到隐晦的行话和难忍的伤痛。继而，按时间顺序，记录了纽约与垃圾斗争的四百年历史，从曾经的污秽满街到现在的井然有条，追溯了纽约的废物管理历史，也改变了我们审视周遭城市的方式。

In this book, the prominent theorist Partha Chatterjee looks at the creative and powerful results of the nationalist imagination in Asia and Africa that are posited not on identity but on difference with the nationalism propagated by the West. Arguing that scholars have been mistaken in equating political nationalism with nationalism as such, he shows how anticolonialist nationalists produced their own domain of sovereignty within colonial society well before beginning their political battle with the imperial power. These nationalists divided their culture into material and spiritual domains, and staked an early claim to the spiritual sphere, represented by religion, caste, women and the family, and peasants.Chatterjee shows how middle-class elites first imagined the nation into being in this spiritual dimension and then readied it for political contest, all the while "normalizing" the aspirations of the various marginal groups that typify the spiritual sphere. While Chatterjee's specific examples are drawn from Indian sources, with a copious use of Bengali language materials, the book is a contribution to the general theoretical discussion on nationalism and the modern state. Examining the paradoxes involved with creating first a uniquely non-Western nation in the spiritual sphere and then a universalist nation-state in the material sphere, the author finds that the search for a postcolonial modernity is necessarily linked with past struggles against modernity.

Among the first anthropologists to work in Eastern Europe, Katherine Verdery had built up a significant base of ethnographic and historical expertise when the major political transformations in the region began to take place. In this collection of essays dealing with the aftermath of Soviet-style socialism and the different forms that may replace it, she explores the nature of socialism in order to understand more fully its consequences. By analyzing her primary data from Romania and Transylvania and synthesizing information from other sources, Verdery lends a distinctive anthropological perspective to a variety of themes common to political and economic studies on the end of socialism: themes such as 'civil society', the creation of market economies, privatization, national and ethnic conflict, and changing gender relations.Under Verdery's examination, privatization and civil society appear not only as social processes, for example, but as symbols in political rhetoric. The classic pyramid scheme is not just a means of enrichment but a site for reconceptualizing the meaning of money and an unusual form of post-Marxist millenarianism. Land being redistributed as private property stretches and shrinks, as in the imaginings of the farmers struggling to tame it. Infused by this kind of ethnographic sensibility, the essays reject the assumption of a transition to capitalism in favor of investigating local processes in their own terms.

人行道的秩序、安全来自何处？怎样的人行道，才能维系个体的尊严，让人们拥有更好的城市生活？

本书关注在街头讨生活的人。他们在街上摆摊、睡觉、捡垃圾，游走在法律边缘，看似制造了混乱和威胁。但社会学家米切尔通过长达5年的参与式观察，深入街头人的生命世界，解释了人行道生活的社会结构和日常互动的逻辑。他提出，在街头谋生的人，实则借由在人行道上创造性地寻求生存空间，生成了一套非正式社会控制体系，维系着人行道的秩序和安全；而他们也得以“诚实谋生”，扭转自己的人生。米切尔提醒城市治理者，以及任何一位想要理解城市复杂生活的人，非正式经济和社会生活有巨大的、无可替代的价值，同时也不必然在审美上令人不悦。这有助于我们反思社会治理的局限，和城市生活更人性化的可能。
