沃尔夫冈•贝林格在《运动通史》中生动地讲述了运动的历史，从古希腊的奥运会到今天，各个文明各种运动的故事。
我们会看到人类运动5000年斑斓的历史，有赛车的法老、奥林匹亚裸奔的男神、中世纪双城的棍战、北欧的超级雪仗、印第安人的生死球赛、近代欧洲体育的规范化、现代体育的商业化，等等。
作者不仅仅讲述各个文明在历史长河中创造的千奇百怪的运动项目，更重要的是还讲述了运动与其文化背景互动的关系，例如古希腊奥运会与城邦政治、希波战争的联系，美洲原住民球赛与其宗教的关系，英国板球与大英帝国的殖民体系的关系，等等。
有一千种文化，就有一千种运动的观念，本书旁征博引，能够让人从运动史管窥文化史。

These four conceptual and critical essays on state and society in contemporary China argue vigorously against the grain of prevailing scholarly interpretation. In substantive content, they explore two major themes from different historical and theoretical points of departure.
First, the author argues that the party/state under Mao fell far short of the full control over China's peasant society that outside observers often assumed it had achieved. She shows, instead, how the Maoist state frequently pursued policies that in fact had the ironic effect of strengthening the resistance of rural communities against the central political apparatus. Second, she contends that once the true limitations on the Maoist state's power in rural areas are rightly understood, it becomes clear that one effect of the post-Mao economic and political reforms may be to enhance rather than to diminish the state's authority in the countryside — despite all the reformists' rhetoric to the contrary.
These essays on "how to think about the Chinese state" are designed to stimulate debate about assumptions and methods in the field of Chinese political analysis. The controversies they raise, however, make them highly relevant to scholars outside Chinese studies who are interested in theories of the state, in the interrelations of state and society, and in the fate of the peasantry under socialism.

我的生活方式，在父母那一辈看起来是不能接受的，也会有人骂我说社会就是有我这种人，国家才会衰败，但我不在意。我觉得我不是真正的放弃自己，我还是做着我喜欢的事、过着我认为幸福的生活。
——“一条”专访大原扁理
“绝望”也者，是对主流价值观的弃绝。大原正是拒绝把自己的生命焚烧进这股潮流的一位青年。但他有自己的关怀和追求，而且并不“绝望”……一旦“大原扁理们”实践的生活哲学成为主流，这个世界，应该会比现在好上一些。

自1890年罗德斯的英国南非公司在津巴布韦建立殖民统治以来，土地一直是影响津巴布韦政治经济发展的核心问题之一。土地占有的不平等是导致津巴布韦民族解放斗争的重要原因，1980年津巴布韦独立后，穆加贝政府虽施行了土地重新安置计划，但并未从根本上改变广大黑人土地很少或没有土地的现状，并由此而导致了2000年的“快车道”土地改革计划，白人的大型商业农场被黑人占领和瓜分。此次土地改革导致津巴布韦短期内农业生产甚至整个经济的严重下滑，以及与西方关系的严重恶化。从2000年到2010年，国际社会出版了大量关于津巴布韦土地改革的著作，基本都是对其加以批评与谴责。但随着时间的推移，土地改革后以小农为基础的农业生产方式开始奏效，津巴布韦的农业生产慢慢恢复到2000年以前的水平。正是在这一背景下，Joseph Hanlon、Jeanette Manjengwa和Teresa Smart在长期调研的基础上，出版了《津巴布韦收回了自己的土地》（Zimbabwe Takes Back Its Land）一书。该书基本肯定了津巴布韦“快车道”土地改革及其所带来的成果，认为其不但有助于扩大津巴布韦土地的耕作面积和提高农业生产率，更有助于改善人们的生活水平，以及调高妇女在社会经济生活中的地位等，因而其出版之后，在国际社会引起强烈反响，从一定程度上了为津巴布韦的土地改革进行了平反。

《父母昨日书:李锐、范元甄通信集(1938-1949)(套装全2册)》是他们的长女李南央按照这些原始信件整理、编辑的。除了原件明显的错别字外，没有做一字一句的改动。被李锐誉为“党外的党史学家”的朱正先生对《父母昨日书》做了审校、加注，并写了序。他认为 “对於后世史家来说，这《父母昨日书》是一份极为难得的史料。”“ 一部活的党史”。

Moral reform movements claiming to protect children began to emerge in the United States over a century ago, most notably when Anthony Comstock and his supporters crusaded to restrict the circulation of contraception, information on the sexual rights of women, and 'obscene' art and literature. Much of their rhetoric influences debates on issues surrounding children and sexuality today. Drawing on Victorian accounts of pregnant girls, prostitutes, Free Lovers, and others deemed 'immoral', Nicola Beisel argues that rhetoric about the moral corruption of children speaks to an ongoing parental concern: that children will fail to replicate or exceed their parents' social position. The rhetoric of morality, she maintains, is more than symbolic and goes beyond efforts to control mass behavior. For the Victorians, it tapped into the fear that their own children could fall prey to vice and ultimately live in disgrace. In a rare analysis of Anthony Comstock's crusade with the New York and New England Societies for the Suppression of Vice, Beisel examines how the reformer worked on the anxieties of the upper classes. One tactic was to link moral corruption with the flood of immigrants, which succeeded in New York and Boston, where minorities posed a political threat to the upper classes. Showing how a moral crusade can bring a society's diffuse anxieties to focus on specific sources, Beisel offers a fresh theoretical approach to moral reform movements.

The expanding use of money in contemporary Vietnam has been propelled by the rise of new markets, digital telecommunications, and an ideological emphasis on money's autonomy from the state. People in Vietnam use the metaphor of "open doors" to describe their everyday experiences of market liberalization and to designate the end of Vietnam's postwar social isolation and return to a consumer- oriented environment. Dreaming of Money in Ho Chi Minh City examines how money is redefining social identities, moral economies, and economic citizenship in Vietnam. It shows how people use money as a standard of value to measure social and moral worth, how money is used to create new hierarchies of privilege and to limit freedom, and how both domestic and global monetary politics affect the cultural politics of identity in Vietnam.
Drawing on interviews with shopkeepers, bankers, vendors, and foreign investors, Allison Truitt explores the function of money in everyday life. From counterfeit currencies to streetside lotteries, from gold shops to crowded temples, she relates money's restructuring to performances of identity. By locating money in domains often relegated to the margins of the economy-households, religion, and gender- she demonstrates how money is shaping ordinary people's sense of belonging and citizenship in Vietnam.

In World-Systems Analysis, Immanuel Wallerstein provides a concise, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to the revolutionary approach to understanding the history and development of the modern world that he pioneered thirty years ago. Since Wallerstein first developed world-systems analysis, it has become a widely utilized methodology within the historical social sciences and a common point of reference within discussions of global processes. Now, for the first time in one volume, Wallerstein offers a succinct summary of world-systems analysis and a clear outline of the modern world-system, describing the structures of knowledge upon which it is based, its mechanisms, and its future. Intended for general readers, students, and experienced practitioners alike, this book presents the definitive overview of world-systems analysis by its original architect. Wallerstein explains the defining characteristics of world-systems analysis: its emphasis on world-systems rather than nation-states, insistence on the need to consider historical processes as they unfold over long periods of time, and demand that bodies of knowledge usually viewed as distinct from one another - such as history, political science, economics, and sociology - be combined and considered within a single analytical framework. He describes the world-system as a social reality comprised of interconnected nations, firms, households, classes, and identity groups of all kinds. He identifies and highlights the significance of the key moments in the evolution of the modern world-system: the development of a global capitalist economy in the sixteenth-century, the beginning of two centuries of liberal centrism in the French Revolution of 1789, and the undermining of that centrism in the global revolts of 1968, which triggered a terminal structural crisis within the modern world-system.

The landscape of social theory has changed significantly over the three decades since the publication of Anthony Giddens and Jonathan Turner’s seminal Social Theory Today. Sociologists in the twenty-first century desperately need a new agenda centered around central questions of social theory. In Social Theory Now, Claudio E. Benzecry, Monika Krause, and Isaac Ariail Reed set a new course for sociologists, bringing together contributions from the most distinctive?sociological?traditions?in an ambitious survey of where social theory is today and where it might be going.
The book?provides a strategic window onto social theory based on current research, examining trends in classical traditions and the cutting edge of more recent approaches. From distinctive theoretical positions, contributors address questions about?how social order is accomplished; the role of materiality, practice, and meaning; as well as the conditions for the knowledge of the social world. The theoretical traditions presented include cultural sociology, microsociologies, world-system theory and post-colonial theory, gender and feminism, actor network and network theory, systems theory, field theory, rational choice, poststructuralism, pragmatism, and the sociology of conventions. Each chapter introduces a tradition and presents an agenda for further theoretical development. Social Theory Now is an essential tool for sociologists. It will be central to the discussion and teaching of contemporary social theory?for years to come.

本书将美国的社会科学话语置于美国文化、政治与制度语境中，深入分析自美国重建时期至经济大萧条前夕塑造美国社会科学学术传统的基本意识形态假设：美国例外论。例外论观点认为，美国基于其共和政府和广泛的经济机遇而在世界历史中占据特殊地位，可以避免欧洲面临的历史变迁、大规模的贫困和阶级冲突等问题。然而，内战经历、迅速的工业化以及宗教承诺的衰落带来了一场突如其来的民族危机，迫使美国不得不面对现实与观念的历史变迁。美国社会科学的各个学科正是诞生于这场危机，它们的发展正体现了保留例外论理想的利益对这些历史变迁的逃避和驯化。作者向我们展示了每一门社会科学学科在发展自身知识传统时，如何对历史意识、政治需要、职业结构以及可利用的科学概念做出反应，如何以自然科学而非历史学为基础建立模型，并嵌入自由个人主义的意识形态之中。

In the early twentieth century, China was stigmatized as the Land of Famine. Meanwhile in Europe and the United States, scientists and industrialists seized upon the soybean as a miracle plant that could help build modern economies and healthy nations. Soybeans, protein-packed and domestically grown, were a common food in China, and soybean milk (doujiang) was poised for reinvention for the modern age. Scientific soybean milk became a symbol of national growth and development on Chinese terms, and its competition with cow s milk reflected China s relationship to global modernity and imperialism.
The Other Milk explores the curious paths that led to the notion of the deficient Chinese diet and to soybean milk as the way to guarantee food security for the masses. Jia-Chen Fu s in-depth examination of the intertwined relationships between diet, health, and nation illuminates the multiple forces that have been essential in the formation of nutrition science in China.

本书收录八篇于1974—1991年间发表的人类学史论文，主要关注两位在现代民族志田野工作的发展和人类学学科制度化过程中影响深远的人物：鲍亚士与马林诺斯基，并讲述作为人类学基本方法的田野工作的兴起，及其符码化与神秘化过程。
全书涉及人类学史的几个重要主题：人类学的“浪漫原始主义”；人类学与更大的社会政治场域的关联与冲突；其“科学”志向与获取“素材”的主观方式之间的张力，等等。作者利用诸多不同时间、地点的民族志作家的田野报告及未出版的手稿进行深入研究，以历史的眼光对人类学的“神话”进行审视，为我们提供了对人类学“文化”的深刻洞见。

Scientists, activists, state officials, NGOs, and others increasingly claim to speak and act on behalf of “humanity.” The remarkable array of circumstances in which humanity is invoked testifies to the category’s universal purchase. Yet what exactly does it mean to govern, fight, and care in the name of humanity? In this timely collection, leading anthropologists and cultural critics grapple with that question, examining configurations of humanity in relation to biotechnologies, the natural environment, and humanitarianism and human rights. From the global pharmaceutical industry, to forest conservation, to international criminal tribunals, the domains they analyze highlight the diversity of spaces and scales at which humanity is articulated.
The editors argue that ideas about humanity find concrete expression in the governing work that operationalizes those ideas to produce order, prosperity, and security. As a site of governance, humanity appears as both an object of care and a source of anxiety. Assertions that humanity is being threatened, whether by environmental catastrophe or political upheaval, provide a justification for the elaboration of new governing techniques. At the same time, humanity itself is identified as a threat (to nature, to nation, to global peace) which governance must contain. These apparently contradictory understandings of the relation of threat to the category of humanity coexist and remain in tension, helping to maintain the dynamic co-production of governance and humanity.

Should marijuana be legalized? The latest Gallup poll reports that exactly half of Americans say "yes"; opinion couldn't be more evenly divided. Marijuana is forbidden by international treaties and by national and local laws across the globe. But those laws are under challenge in several countries. In the U.S., there is no short-term prospect for changes in federal law, but sixteen states allow medical use and recent initiatives to legalize production and non-medical use garnered more than 40% support in four states. California's Proposition 19 nearly passed in 2010, and multiple states are expected to consider similar measures in the years to come. The debate and media coverage surrounding Proposition 19 reflected profound confusion, both about the current state of the world and about the likely effects of changes in the law. In addition, not all supporters of "legalization" agree on what it is they want to legalize: Just using marijuana? Growing it? Selling it? Advertising it? If sales are to be legal, what regulations and taxes should apply? Different forms of legalization might have very different results. Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know will provide readers with a non-partisan primer about the topic, covering everything from the risks and benefits of using marijuana, to describing the current laws around the drug in the U.S. and abroad. The authors discuss the likely costs and benefits of legalization at the state and national levels and walk readers through the "middle ground" of policy options between prohibition and commercialized production. The authors also consider how marijuana legalization could personally impact parents, heavy users, medical users, drug traffickers, and employers.

Nothing has generated more controversy in the social sciences than the turn toward culture, variously known as the linguistic turn, culturalism, or postmodernism. This book examines the impact of the cultural turn on two prominent social science disciplines, history and sociology, and proposes new directions in the theory and practice of historical research. The editors provide an introduction analyzing the origins and implications of the cultural turn and its postmodernist critiques of knowledge. Essays by leading historians and historical sociologists reflect on the uses of cultural theories and show both their promise and their limitations. The afterword by Hayden White provides an assessment of the trend toward culturalism by one its most influential proponents. "Beyond the Cultural Turn" offers fresh theoretical readings of the most persistent issues created by the cultural turn and provocative empirical studies focusing on diverse social practices, the uses of narrative, and the body and self as critical junctures where culture and society intersect.

雷蒙德·威廉斯在本书中考察了近代英国的教育、识字（图书、新闻报刊）、“标准英语”的发展，英语作家、戏剧的社会历史进程，20世纪英国小说的形成。在这些考察的基础上，他发现一种文化的变革正在发生，并且与之前英国曾经经历过的民主革命与工业革命一样重要。正是以他的英国文化史研究为依据，雷蒙德·威廉斯提出了在长时段内存在着一种文化革命的理论。

From the rise of terrorism to the uncertainties associated with economic crisis and recession, our age is characterized by fear. Fear is the expression of a society on unstable foundations. Most of us feel that our social status is under threat and our future prospects in jeopardy. We are overwhelmed by a sense of having been catapulted into a world to which we no longer belong.
Tracing this experience of fear, Heinz Bude uncovers a society marked by disturbing uncertainty, suppressed anger and quiet resentment. This is as true in our close relationships as it is in the world of work, in how we react to politicians as much as in our attitudes towards bankers and others in the financial sector. Bude shows how this fear is not derived so much from a 'powerful other' but rather from the seemingly endless range of possibilities which we face. While this may seem to offer us greater autonomy and freedom, in reality the unknown impact and meaning of each option creates a vacuum which is filled by fear.
What conditions lead people to feel anxious and fearful for themselves and others? How can individuals withstand fear and develop ways of making their fears intelligible? Probing these and other questions, Bude provides a fresh analysis of some of the most fundamental features of our societies today.
