Neoliberalism as Exception 豆瓣
作者: Aihwa Ong Duke University Press Books 2006 - 7
Neoliberalism is commonly viewed as an economic doctrine that seeks to limit the scope of government. Some consider it a form of predatory capitalism with adverse effects on the Global South. In this groundbreaking work, Aihwa Ong offers an alternative view of neoliberalism as an extraordinarily malleable technology of governing that is taken up in different ways by different regimes, be they authoritarian, democratic, or communist. Ong shows how East and Southeast Asian states are making exceptions to their usual practices of governing in order to position themselves to compete in the global economy. As she demonstrates, a variety of neoliberal strategies of governing are re-engineering political spaces and populations. Ong’s ethnographic case studies illuminate experiments and developments such as China’s creation of special market zones within its socialist economy; pro-capitalist Islam and women’s rights in Malaysia; Singapore’s repositioning as a hub of scientific expertise; and flexible labor and knowledge regimes that span the Pacific.
Ong traces how these and other neoliberal exceptions to business as usual are reconfiguring relationships between governing and the governed, power and knowledge, and sovereignty and territoriality. She argues that an interactive mode of citizenship is emerging, one that organizes people—and distributes rights and benefits to them—according to their marketable skills rather than according to their membership within nation-states. Those whose knowledge and skills are not assigned significant market value—such as migrant women working as domestic maids in many Asian cities—are denied citizenship. Nevertheless, Ong suggests that as the seam between sovereignty and citizenship is pried apart, a new space is emerging for NGOs to advocate for the human rights of those excluded by neoliberal measures of human worthiness.

新教育场域的兴起 1895-1926 豆瓣
作者: 应星 生活·读书·新知三联书店 2017 - 5
科举制度的废除、新式学校的建立,不仅是中国教育制度史上的巨变,而且直接牵动着政与学的关系在中国现代社会的重构。本书通过三个不同类型的个案考察,展示了从1895年到1926年的三十年间,新教育场域逐渐兴起的艰难历程。
三个个案分别为:1895—1913年,科举被废除前后,湖南省新式学堂逐步取代原有“士绅惯习”的进程;1917—1923年,蔡元培任北大校长期间,努力为北大塑造“科学的精神实质”,试图建立自外于政治的“学术社会”,书中对此做了颇具新意的社会史分析;1921—1926年,在江西,新式学校里培养了一大批追求进步的青年学生,从中可以看出,中国共产党早期组织的形成和发展是嵌入在民国教育和政治格局中的。
以上三个专题,成为上中下三篇,具有内在的关联性。书中所说的“新教育场域”,其实是“五四运动”时代老师辈和学生辈的两代人,从三个个案可见,当年大学与中学教育的变化走向,取决于清末民初的政治场域和局势变化。本书通过三个关键片段,对新教育在中国产生、早期发展的艰难过程给予深入研讨,运用社会史的方法进入中国近代社会,揭示了以往近代史研究往往不能观察到的侧面。
NGO Governance and Management in China 豆瓣
Routledge 2015 - 8
As China becomes increasingly integrated into the global system there will be continuing pressure to acknowledge and engage with non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Suffice to say, without a clear understanding of the state’s interaction with NGOs, and vice versa, any political, economic and social analysis of China will be incomplete.
This book provides an urgent insight into contemporary state-NGO relations. It brings together the most recent research covering three broad themes, namely the conceptualizations and subsequent functions of NGOs; state-NGO engagement; and NGOs as a mediator between state and society in contemporary China. The book provides a future glimpse into the challenges of state-NGO interactions in China's rapidly developing regions, which will aid NGOs strategic planning in both the short- and long-term. In addition, it allows a measure of predictability in our assessment of Chinese NGOs behaviour, notably when they eventually move their areas of operation from the domestic sphere to an international one.
The salient themes, concepts, theories and practice discussed in this book will be of acute interest to students, scholars and practitioners in development studies, public administration, and Chinese and Asian politics.

人伦的“解体” 豆瓣
作者: 吴飞 生活·读书·新知三联书店 2017 - 4
一向被视为天经地义的人伦,在20世纪中国遭遇了激烈批判;但常被忽略的是,此时西方学界也出现了对人伦的反省,创造了三个“学术神话”:母系社会、乱伦禁忌、弑父弑君,其中第一个还深深影响了现代中国思想。本书考察了这三个命题在西方古今形质论哲学传统中的根源,尝试探索在中国文质论传统中反思人伦问题的可能。
本书的写作缘于作者对近代以来社会人伦关系发生深刻变迁的的长期关注与思考,以人类学、哲学和社会理论为基本学科框架,从中西文明比较的视野,来聚焦西方形质论(形式/质料)思想传统影响下的人伦问题及其现代处境,尤其从现代人伦思考中的几个比较极端且充满论争的理论与命题,如母权社会、乱伦禁忌和弑父弑君入手,细密梳理和分析了从达尔文、巴霍芬、摩尔根、涂尔干到弗洛伊德等人的相关理论与思考,并追问了人伦问题背后的形质论哲学根源(亚里士多德),尤其是西方人性自然与文明生活之间的张力关系。作者认为,无论中国还是西方,其现代文明语境中的人伦都面临着全面解体的危险,与之伴随的便是对家国的虚无与焦虑;而中国源远流长的“文质论”传统或许为我们重建人伦与道德提供了重要的思想资源。

On Being Included 豆瓣
作者: Sara Ahmed Duke University Press Books 2012 - 3
What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary even unremarkable feature of institutional life. And yet, diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, which they describe as hitting against a "brick wall." On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox. It explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. Commitments to diversity are understood as "non-performatives" that do not bring about what they name. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. On Being Included offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them.

妇女与中国现代性 豆瓣
7.7 (6 个评分) 作者: 〔美〕周蕾 译者: 蔡青松 上海三联书店 2008 - 9
1990年代以来,从事中国文学研究的人,不仅要认知文学作品,还要顾及理论上的种种问题。《妇女与中国现代性》即是用一些之前没有尝试过的方法,理论化地来研读中国现代文学史上大家熟悉的文本与问题。
本书通过可见的形象、文学的历史、叙事的结构和感情的接受这四种批评的途径,牵涉到中国现代性的各个方面:种族观众的构成、通俗文学中的传统的断裂、由叙事引发的一种新的“内部”现实的可疑结构以及性别、感伤主义与阅读之间的关系。
该书也从电影影像、大众文化、主流文学及心理学等多重角度,剖析女性主义理论的洞见与不见,并检讨中国现代化的过程中,女性主体的建立与反挫。作者进一步对“妇女”、“中国”、“现代性”等既定观念的合理性及合法性提出质疑。
它并非对现代中国文学的概括性的研究,也不是面面俱到包罗万象,全书提供讨论的都是以现代中国在文本中的主体性为议题,并把作者本人的阅读方式作为这种主体性的一个例证。
这是一本在海内外影响深远的中国现代文学研究名著,尤其是在如何用西方理论解读中国现代文学文本方面,这本书提供了很好的范例。
周蕾是美国从文化研究的立志进行文化政治批评的一位非常成功的学者。我认为《妇女与中国现代性》是她写得最好的一本书,她用一种书写的行为来达到文化的批判,非常坚定地站在第三世界、站在边缘来对抗主流。
——哈佛大学荣休教授 李欧梵
《妇女与中国现代性》对现有批评典范的反驳,对女性主义、心理分析、后殖民批判,以及广义左翼思潮的兼容并蓄,在在树立一种不同以往的论述风格,也引起中国研究以外的学者的注意。

Civil Society 豆瓣
Routledge 1996 - 10
Between kinship ties on the one hand and the state on the other, human beings experience a diversity of social relationships and groupings which in modern western thought have come to be gathered under the label 'civil society'. A liberal-individualist model of civil society has become fashionable in recent years, but what can such a term mean in the late twentieth century? Civil Society argues that civil society should not be studied as a separate, 'private' realm clearly separated in opposition to the state; nor should it be confined to the institutions of the 'voluntary' or 'non-governmental' sector. A broader understanding of civil society involves the investigation of everyday social practices, often elusive power relations and the shared moralities that hold communities together. By drawing on case materials from a range of contemporary societies, including the US, Britain, four of the former Communist countries of Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Middle and Far East, Civil Society demonstrates what anthropology contributes to debates taking place throughout the social sciences; adding up to an exciting renewal of the agenda for political anthropology.

Faktizitat und Geltung
作者: [德] 尤尔根·哈贝马斯 译者: 童世骏 生活·读书·新知三联书店 2003 - 8
《在事实与规范之间:关于法律和民主法治国的商谈理论》的作者哈贝马斯提出对法律和宪法的范式性背景理解加以澄清,它所针对的是法学界日益流行的法律怀疑论,尤其是我怕谓的虚假实在论,它低估了现存法律实践的那些规范性预设的经验效用。在我们自17世纪以来不断进行着的关于政治共同体之法律构成的讨论中,还表现出了一种对整个现代笥的道德实践自我理解。这种自我理解不仅存在于一种普遍主义道德意识的种种证据之中,而且存在于民主法治国的自由建制之中。商谈论所要做的工作,是对这种自我理解作一种重构,使它能维护自己的规范性硬核,既抵制科学主义的还原,也抵制审美主义的同化。这是一本非同寻常的著作。从某种意义上说,它可能是哈贝马斯很好的著作。
Grassroots of Democracy 豆瓣
作者: A.M. Shah (conceived by M.N. Srinivas and A.M. Shah) (Ed.) Orient Blackswan 2010 - 11
Originally conceived by India’s most influential modern anthropologist M.N.Srinivas and his eminent colleague A.M.Shah, this book contains nineteen essays based on field studies of two national elections in India’s rural, tribal and urban communities, within ten Indian states. It includes an Introduction by A.M. Shah and an Epilogue by the psephologist and political scientist Yogendra Yadav. The studies which comprise the bulk of this book were conducted by sixteen sociologists at the Delhi School of Economics under the direction of M.N. Srinivas and A.M.Shah. Demonstrating the importance of fieldwork for studying elections (as compared to the questionnaire and interview method), this book provides an entirely novel perspective on the study of elections-very different from the one usually projected through the interpretation of statistics. This sociologist’s micro-view contrasts with the more standard macro-view provided by political scientists, journalists and psephologists. Among the many reasons for the importance of this book as a departure from standard electoral studies is the thoroughgoing manner in which it questions the general assumption of the rational individual as the sole arbiter of his/her voting behaviour. It analyses in detail the role of an array of social factors in electoral processes and also delineates the continuity between local, regional and national politics. In so doing, it reveals how Indian democracy actually operates at the grassroots. This important new work will interest sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists and anyone interested in India’s polity and society. With its diverse narratives and jargon-free descriptions of actors in the political arena, this is also a book entirely accessible to non-specialists interested in India’s complex political and social processes during the drama-filled times when India goes to the polls.

Will Africa Feed China? 豆瓣
作者: Deborah Brautigam Oxford University Press 2015 - 11
Is China building a new empire in rural Africa? Over the past decade, China's meteoric rise on the continent has raised a drumbeat of alarm. China has 9 percent of the world's arable land, 6 percent of its water, and over 20 percent of its people. Africa's savannahs and river basins host the planet's largest expanses of underutilized land and water. Few topics are as controversial and emotionally charged as the belief that the Chinese government is aggressively buying up huge tracts of prime African land to grow food to ship back to China.
In Will Africa Feed China?, Deborah Brautigam, one of the world's leading experts on China and Africa, probes the myths and realities behind the media headlines. Her careful research challenges the conventional wisdom; as she shows, Chinese farming investments are in fact surprisingly limited, and land acquisitions modest. Defying expectations, China actually exports more food to Africa than it imports. Is this picture likely to change? African governments are pushing hard for foreign capital, and China is building a portfolio of tools to allow its agribusiness firms to "go global." International concerns about "land grabbing" are well-justified. Yet to feed its own growing population, rural Africa must move from subsistence to commercial agriculture. What role will China play? Moving from the halls of power in Beijing to remote irrigated rice paddies of Africa, Will Africa Feed China? introduces the people and the politics that will shape the future of this engagement: the state-owned Chinese agribusiness firms that pioneered African farming in the 1960s and the entrepreneurial private investors who followed them. Their fascinating stories, and those of the African farmers and officials who are their counterparts, ground Brautigam's deeply informative, deftly balanced reporting.
Forcefully argued and empirically rich, Will Africa Feed China? will be a landmark work, shedding new light on China's evolving global quest for food security and Africa's possibilities for structural transformation.
NGOization 豆瓣
作者: Choudry, Aziz; Kapoor, Dip; Zed Books 2013 - 7
The growth and spread of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) at local and international levels has attracted considerable interest and attention from policy-makers, development practitioners, academics and activists around the world. But how has this phenomenon impacted on struggles for social and environmental justice? How has it challenged - or reinforced - the forces of capitalism and colonialism? And what political, economic, social and cultural interests does this serve? NGOization - the professionalization and institutionalization of social action - has long been a hotly contested issue in grassroots social movements and communities of resistance. This book pulls together for the first time unique perspectives of social struggles and critically engaged scholars from wide range of geographical and political contexts to offer insights into the tensions and challenges of the NGO model, while considering the feasibility of alternatives.
