Fear 豆瓣
作者: Robin, Corey Oxford University Press 2004
Book Description
For many commentators, September 11 inaugurated a new era of fear. But as Corey Robin shows in his unsettling tour of the Western imagination--the first intellectual history of its kind--fear has shaped our politics and culture since time immemorial. From the Garden of Eden to the Gulag Archipelago to today's headlines, Robin traces our growing fascination with political danger and disaster. As our faith in positive political principles recedes, he argues, we turn to fear as the justifying language of public life. We may not know the good, but we do know the bad. So we cling to fear, abandoning the quest for justice, equality, and freedom. But as fear becomes our intimate, we understand it less. In a startling reexamination of fear's greatest modern interpreters--Hobbes, Montesquieu, Tocqueville, and Arendt--Robin finds that writers since the eighteenth century have systematically obscured fear's political dimensions, diverting attention from the public and private authorities who sponsor and benefit from it. For fear, Robin insists, is an exemplary instrument of repression--in the public and private sector. Nowhere is this politically repressive fear--and its evasion--more evident than in contemporary America. In his final chapters, Robin accuses our leading scholars and critics of ignoring "Fear, American Style," which, as he shows, is the fruit of our most prized inheritances--the Constitution and the free market. With danger playing an increasing role in our daily lives and justifying a growing number of government policies, Robin's Fear offers a bracing, and necessary, antidote to our contemporary culture of fear.
Review
"A worthy, if gloomy, contribution to the political-philosophical literature." --Kirkus Reviews
"Given daily terror alerts and news reports of violence, Robin, professor of political science and contributor to New York Times Magazine, offers a sober analysis of fear's Janus-faced potential as a catalyst for economic progress and the raison d'etre of repressive regimes. A brilliant synthesis of historical perspective and the critically revealing story of 'Fear, American Style,' the account explores the classics of political thought by Hobbes, Montesquieu and Tocqueville and the portrayal of evil by Arendt." --Publishers Weekly
"Robin's account of the place of fear in American life is refreshingly clear--and timely." --Tony Judt, New York Review of Books
"Brilliant.... What he does in Fear is show us, by carefully plotting the progress of modern fear politics from the Enlightenment to present day, that we are as dependent on fear as a political vehicle, if not more so, as we are the charades of left/right/middle factionalism." --National Post
"A thoughtful, often brilliant, radical polemic against the insufficiencies and pitfalls of liberalism.... Let us hope that in his next work he will try to construct a defense against political fear as spirited as this provocative and discouraging dissection of its multiple forms." --Stanley Hoffman, Foreign Affairs
"By means of an innovative rereading of four influential political theorists--Thomas Hobbes, Montesquieu, Alexis de Tocqueville and Hannah Arendt--Corey Robin offers a fascinating analysis of how we have formed many of our ideas about the role of fear in society." --New Statesman
"Learned and original, Robin argues that whereas Hobbes and Arendt appreciated the political dimensions of fear, Montesquieu and Tocqueville relegated the idea to the realm of the psychological--a view of fear that has endured, blinding us to the self-serving ways elites deploy fear for political ends. Along the way, Robin delivers trenchant and original critiques of writers who deal with fear. The journalists Michael Ignatieff, Philip Gourevitch and their ilk, who have made a cottage industry of condemning genocide, come under withering criticism for implicitly romanticizing the mass killings they deplore.... When...Robin takes on a congealed conventional wisdom, he is at his best." --Newsday
"His book is an appeal for social democracy which American intellectuals and the political elite have abandoned since the New Deal.... With great lucidity, Robin identifies many disturbing excesses in thought and travesties in deed, all of which are bound up in some way with fear." --Michael Kimmage, New York Times Book Review
"Liberalism, he insists, sends working men and women unprotected into battle against the forces of privilege, a battle they are bound to lose. Defeating fear, US-style, requires a new politics that actively confronts power rather than the current apologetic, ameliorative American liberalism. He may not be right that only a strong state can protect its citizens from fear (which is what, with Hobbes, he ends up arguing), but he makes a strong case that the job is too important to be left to the market." --Financial Times
"Fear is a central, but little investigated, concept in modern political thought. In a deft and well-written analysis of this crucial concept and its political implications, Corey Robin not only gives us a masterful survey of its history but also, of its current abuse by the Bush administration. Passionate, erudite, and partisan, this book is an original contribution to our political vocabulary." --Seyla Benhabib, Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science and Philosophy, Yale University

Divided in Unity 豆瓣
作者: Andreas Glaeser University of Chicago Press 2000 - 2
After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the political unification of East and West Germany, the joy over unity quickly gave way to a profound sense of alienation between easterners and westerners. It was said that the Berlin Wall was simply replaced by the walls in the minds of people. The Berlin police force is one of the few organizations in united Germany in which easterners and westerners have been forced to work together, and Andreas Glaeser takes advantage of this unique opportunity to examine how the police officers relate to each other and to understand their expectations and hopes, their attitudes toward work and their understanding of democracy and morality. Accompanying East and West German police officers on their daily patrols through Berlin, Glaeser gathers firsthand accounts that help to illustrate why East and West Germans remain deeply divided. The result of his study is a theory of identity that moves beyond the dominant concerns with race, class and gender to describe how experiences of otherness and sameness are constructed in social interaction.
上海游民改造研究 豆瓣
作者: 阮清华 上海辞书出版社 2009 - 6
《上海游民改造研究(1949-1958)》讲述了:近代以来,游民问题在性质上几经变换,从道德、伦理问题变成社会、经济问题,再变成政治问题,最后成为一个集政治问题、道德伦理问题与司法问题于一身的复杂难题,但不再是社会问题和经济问题。无业游民的文化程度及技艺水平都远远高于国民的平均水平,他们之所以成为游民,并非由于文化水平低下或缺乏谋生技能,更深层的原因在于社会没有为他们提供就业的机会……
建国初期,在社会秩序的规范中,每一个人根据阶级出身确定自己的阶级成分,然后在社会上找到自己的位置。对于城市中数量众多的流浪人群和其他无法划分阶级成分的人员,人民政府将其归入游民行列,帮助他们找到安身立命之所,从而完成对城市基层社会的清理与重建。
Forging Industrial Policy 豆瓣
作者: Frank Dobbin Cambridge University Press 1997 - 7
The United States, France and Britain use markedly different kinds of industrial policies to foster economic growth today. To understand the origins of these different policies, this book examines the evolution of public policies governing one of the first modern industries, the railroads. The author challenges conventional thinking in economics, political science and sociology by arguing that cultural meaning plays an important role in the development of purportedly rational policies designed to promote industrial growth. This book has implications for the study of rational institutions of all sorts, including science, management and economics, as well as for the study of culture.

How Solidarity Works for Welfare 豆瓣
作者: Prerna Singh Cambridge University Press 2016 - 1
Why are some places in the world characterized by better social service provision and welfare outcomes than others? In a world in which millions of people, particularly in developing countries, continue to lead lives plagued by illiteracy and ill-health, understanding the conditions that promote social welfare is of critical importance to political scientists and policy makers alike. Drawing on a multi-method study, from the late-nineteenth century to the present, of the stark variations in educational and health outcomes within a large, federal, multiethnic developing country - India - this book develops an argument for the power of collective identity as an impetus for state prioritization of social welfare. Such an argument not only marks an important break from the dominant negative perceptions of identity politics but also presents a novel theoretical framework to understand welfare provision.

The Genealogical Science 豆瓣
作者: Nadia Abu El-Haj University Of Chicago Press 2014 - 5
The Genealogical Science analyzes the scientific work and social implications of the flourishing field of genetic history. A biological discipline that relies on genetic data in order to reconstruct the geographic origins of contemporary populations—their histories of migration and genealogical connections to other present-day groups—this historical science is garnering ever more credibility and social reach, in large part due to a growing industry in ancestry testing.
In this book, Nadia Abu El-Haj examines genetic history’s working assumptions about culture and nature, identity and biology, and the individual and the collective. Through the example of the study of Jewish origins, she explores novel cultural and political practices that are emerging as genetic history’s claims and “facts” circulate in the public domain and illustrates how this historical science is intrinsically entangled with cultural imaginations and political commitments. Chronicling late-nineteenth- to mid-twentieth-century understandings of race, nature, and culture, she identifies continuities and shifts in scientific claims, institutional contexts, and political worlds in order to show how the meanings of biological difference have changed over time. In so doing she gives an account of how and why it is that genetic history is so socially felicitous today and elucidates the range of understandings of the self, individual and collective, this scientific field is making possible. More specifically, through her focus on the history of projects of Jewish self-fashioning that have taken place on the terrain of the biological sciences, The Genealogical Science analyzes genetic history as the latest iteration of a cultural and political practice now over a century old.
Political Epistemics 豆瓣
作者: Andreas Glaeser University Of Chicago Press 2011 - 4
What does the durability of political institutions have to do with how actors form knowledge about them? Andreas Glaeser investigates this question in the context of a fascinating historical case: socialist East Germany’s unexpected self-dissolution in 1989. His analysis builds on extensive in-depth interviews with former secret police officers and the dissidents they tried to control as well as research into the documents both groups produced. In particular, Glaeser analyzes how these two opposing factions’ understanding of the socialist project came to change in response to countless everyday experiences. These investigations culminate in answers to two questions: why did the officers not defend socialism by force? And how was the formation of dissident understandings possible in a state that monopolized mass communication and group formation? He also explores why the Stasi, although always well informed about dissident activities, never developed a realistic understanding of the phenomenon of dissidence.
Out of this ambitious study, Glaeser extracts two distinct lines of thought. On the one hand he offers an epistemic account of socialism’s failure that differs markedly from existing explanations. On the other hand he develops a theory—a sociology of understanding—that shows us how knowledge can appear validated while it is at the same time completely misleading.

The Moral Neoliberal 豆瓣
作者: Andrea Muehlebach University of Chicago Press 2012 - 6
Morality is often imagined to be at odds with capitalism and its focus on the bottom line, but in "The Moral Neoliberal" morality is shown as the opposite: an indispensable tool for capitalist transformation. Setting her investigation within the shifting landscape of neoliberal welfare reform in the Lombardy region of Italy, Andrea Muehlebach tracks the phenomenal rise of voluntarism in the wake of the state's withdrawal of social service programs. Using anthropological tools, she shows how socialist volunteers are interpreting their unwaged labor as an expression of social solidarity, with Catholic volunteers thinking of theirs as an expression of charity and love. Such interpretations pave the way for a mass mobilization of an ethical citizenry that is put to work by the state. Visiting several sites across the region, from Milanese high schools to the offices of state social workers to the homes of the needy, Muehlebach mounts a powerful argument that the neoliberal state nurtures selflessness in order to cement some of its most controversial reforms. At the same time, she also shows how the insertion of such an anticapitalist narrative into the heart of neoliberalization can have unintended consequences.

Approaches to Ethnography 豆瓣
Edited by Colin Jerolmack and Shamus Khan
作者: Colin Jerolmack / Shamus Khan Oxford University Press 2017 - 11
No ethnographer can record and analyze everything that she encounters in the field. We must make choices about what to look at and how to look at it, which means privileging some aspects of social life while bracketing others. Approaches to Ethnography enumerates the key analytic strategies-which Jerolmack and Khan call approaches-that ethnographers deploy to tame the buzzing confusion of the social world. The book identifies eight approaches that typify ethnography, which it groups and compares along four axes: 1) Micro, organizational, and macro; 2) people and places, and mechanisms; 3) dispositions and situations; and 4) reflexivity. Each approach, it is shown, enables the illumination of a distinct dimension of the social world.
Every chapter is written by a seasoned ethnographer who enumerates one of the approaches and reflects on how that approach shapes their field site selection, observations, and analysis. Taken as a whole, the chapters show how these approaches, which operate more like sensitizing devices than theoretical mandates, can play a greater role in guiding the kinds of questions that get asked and answered in the field than whether one adopts an inductive or deductive stance toward theory. Engaging, accessible, and often inspiring, Approaches to Ethnography offers a practical and novel way to teach, evaluate, and conceptualize ethnographic research.

Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper
8.1 (387 个评分) 作者: [英] 扶霞·邓洛普 译者: 何雨珈 上海译文出版社 2018 - 7 其它标题: 鱼翅与花椒
扶霞是我的好友,也是我认识的所有外国人中,非常了解中国烹饪的一位。这本屡获殊荣的《鱼翅与花椒》无疑是很多外国人写中国食物的书籍里极为鲜活有趣和精准的 。——陈晓卿(“舌尖上的中国”总导演)
这里是中国,一个奇妙的饮食大国。
这是关于中国菜的故事,也是一个英国女孩的中国历险记。
扶霞一九九四年前往中国长住。打从一开始她就发誓不论人家请她吃什么,不管那食物有多么古怪,她一律来者不拒:第一次与四川料理相遇时的神魂颠倒、亲眼目睹鸡鸭被宰杀时的惊吓、体验千变万化的刀 工、对养生饮食的叹服、品尝珍稀野味时内心的道德两难……
透过扶霞的眼睛,我们得以用全新的角度来了解熟悉的中国菜。不同地方的食物拥有其独一无二的气质:川菜的辣带着一丝丝甜,就像悠闲的四川人,总是带着甜甜的体贴;湘菜直接又毫无妥协余地,就跟那里培养出来的领袖人物一样;扬州菜则是太平盛世的食物,温暖而抚慰人心。
从四川热闹的市场到甘肃北部荒僻的风景,从福建的深山到迷人的扬州古城,书中呈现了中式料理让人难忘的美妙滋味,也深刻描绘出中西饮食文化差异,且兼具人文观察与幽默趣味。

理想国外文纪实001,《纽约时报》年度选书,美国名记丽贝卡·特雷斯特直击单身女性群体。
★一部单身的通俗史,三十位女性的故事——单身并不是我们这代人的“发明”。特雷斯特将单身女性纳入美国近代史的脉络中:两次世界大战期间她们投身医疗救护、工业生产,女权运动浪潮中她们积极争取投票权、堕胎权益。长久以来,单身女性的故事就是这个国家的故事。
★“勾搭”文化、“波士顿婚姻”、冻卵……时代变迁,(单身)女性“见招拆招”,发出自己的声音——为什么在十九世纪的美国会有大量女性之间缔结伴侣关系的现象?现代女性为何选择情爱上的“小打小闹”,而拖延/拒绝进入婚姻?单身女性又要在何时生育、如何生育?她们的快乐烦恼,她们的生活经历,都在这本书里。
★不是“独身宣言”,也不为向传统婚姻“抖机灵”——特雷斯特提醒我们:女性命运不再是简单的“二选一”(不结婚就养猫),在她们面前会有更多的选项、更出彩的人生。结不结婚,女性都需要一种保持单身的能力,在思想上自主、经济上独立。由此我们将无可避免地迎来一个单身时代。
【内容简介】
《我的孤单,我的自我:单身女性的时代》是一部关于21世纪美国单身女性议题的纪实作品。作者特雷斯特聚焦这一群体,从近百个原始访谈中选取了约三十位女性的故事。当中有叱咤职场的女强人,有兼两份零工的单亲妈妈,有敢爱敢恨的女大学生。尽管她们的肤色、族裔多样,生活环境与教育背景不尽相同,但这些单身女性积极争取自身权益(选举权、堕胎权益),影响经济、文化与社会生活的方方面面。单身女性正在这个本不是为她们设计的世界里,逐渐占据一席之地,是时候开启一个“单身时代”了。

Embedded Autonomy 豆瓣
作者: Peter B. Evans Princeton University Press 1995 - 2
In recent years, debate on the state's economic role has too often devolved into diatribes against intervention. Peter Evans questions such simplistic views, offering a new vision of why state involvement works in some cases and produces disasters in others. To illustrate, he looks at how state agencies, local entrepreneurs, and transnational corporations shaped the emergence of computer industries in Brazil, India, and Korea during the seventies and eighties.
Evans starts with the idea that states vary in the way they are organized and tied to society. In some nations, like Zaire, the state is predatory, ruthlessly extracting and providing nothing of value in return. In others, like Korea, it is developmental, promoting industrial transformation. In still others, like Brazil and India, it is in between, sometimes helping, sometimes hindering. Evans's years of comparative research on the successes and failures of state involvement in the process of industrialization have here been crafted into a persuasive and entertaining work, which demonstrates that successful state action requires an understanding of its own limits, a realistic relationship to the global economy, and the combination of coherent internal organization and close links to society that Evans called "embedded autonomy."
Inventing Equal Opportunity 豆瓣
作者: Frank Dobbin Princeton University Press 2011 - 6
Equal opportunity in the workplace is thought to be the direct legacy of the civil rights and feminist movements and the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Yet, as Frank Dobbin demonstrates, corporate personnel experts - not Congress or the courts - were the ones who determined what equal opportunity meant in practice, designing changes in how employers hire, promote, and fire workers, and ultimately defining what discrimination is, and is not, in the American imagination. Dobbin shows how Congress and the courts merely endorsed programs devised by corporate personnel. He traces how the first measures were adopted by military contractors worried that the Kennedy administration would cancel their contracts if they didn't take 'affirmative action' to end discrimination. These measures built on existing personnel programs, many designed to prevent bias against unionists. Dobbin follows the changes in the law as personnel experts invented one wave after another of equal opportunity programs. He examines how corporate personnel formalized hiring and promotion practices in the 1970s to eradicate bias by managers; how in the 1980s they answered Ronald Reagan's threat to end affirmative action by recasting their efforts as diversity-management programs; and, how the growing presence of women in the newly named human resources profession has contributed to a focus on sexual harassment and work/life issues. "Inventing Equal Opportunity" reveals how the personnel profession devised - and ultimately transformed - our understanding of discrimination.
权力的文化逻辑 豆瓣
作者: 朱国华 上海人民出版社 2017 - 1
全书旨在对布迪厄的社会学诗学进行一个较为系统的批判性阐释和研究。除了序跋之外,全书共分七部分。导论“文化与权力”勾勒了布迪厄社会学诗学的主要特征,认为可分为文化研究视野中的、旨在考察艺术消费的社会学美学;以及文学现代性视野中的、旨在考察文学生产的文学社会学两部分。第一编“实践与反思:布迪厄社会学要旨”,侧重于从宏观层次描述布迪厄思想大系,主要是讨论哲学和社会学层面的布迪厄。第二编“文化再生产与符号暴力”简述了布迪厄若干重要社会理论,包括他的教育社会学、语言理论、性别支配理论、知识分子理论和阶级理论。第三编“趣味:区隔的逻辑”和第四编“文学现代性的别种解读:文化生产场理论”均为本书重点。前者探讨了布迪厄的社会学美学,后者论述了布迪厄文学场理论。结论部分批判性质疑了布迪厄社会学诗学的有效性限度。附录部分收录了一篇布迪厄社会学诗学的代表性译文。
本书是对法国著名社会学家布迪厄文化理论的介绍与研究,并对于中国语境中的历史文化实践进行了理论的运用与分析。布迪厄社会学文化学理论的精髓在于反对一切形式的符号控制,反对普遍存在的不平等。为了实现这一实践目的,他一方面借助于独特的概念工具和研究方法考察了人类行动的逻辑,从而 获得了他作为一个人类学家、社会学家甚至哲学家的崇高声誉;另一方面,他又在此基础上,分析了统治阶层是如何在获得被统治者共识的条件下,利用各种社会资源,进行合法性治理的。
