靜寂工人:碼頭的日與夜 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: 魏明毅 游擊文化 2016 - 10 其它标题: 靜寂工人
以人類學之眼、受苦共感之心,
走進底層工人的生命世界,記錄一段被遺忘的社會史。

「不讓妳傷心的人類學,就不值得從事。」——《傷心人類學》

「我也完全不知道在『那裡』該『如何讓自己像個人類學家』。」——《泰利的街角》

這是一本關於跨國供應鏈肆虐、新自由主義浪潮席捲、港口男人勞動風雲、茶店女性作伴文化、生命陷落及底層困境的「傷心民族誌」。書中的主角包括被國家拋棄的碼頭裝卸工人、入不敷出的貨櫃車司機、慘澹營生的攤車小販、飽經風霜的茶店阿姨仔,以及失語無能的失格父親。若要凝視這些如深淵般的生命圖像,得讓目光回望島嶼過往半世紀的「發展」軌跡。

1956年,美國Sea-Land運輸公司的Ideal X號貨輪載運貨櫃啟航,開啟了貨櫃海運時代。1972年,基隆港務局首次設置貨櫃碼頭與裝卸設施。1984年,基隆港躍升為世界第七大貨櫃港。1999年,基隆港棧埠作業民營化。2016年,基隆市歡慶建港130週年,該年為世界海運貨櫃發展60週年。在上述扼要片段的主流編年記事底下,有什麼重要的社會史細節遭到忽視?又有哪些人被抹除了真實活過的痕跡?這些正是《靜寂工人》試圖呈顯與回應的。

本書作者魏明毅帶著同理之心和人類學之眼,以身為度,與田野報導人同行在基隆港的東西碼頭岸上、同處在簡單陽春的候工室裡、同坐在密閉侷促的貨櫃車內,並隨著他們的腳步進出不同的食肆與茶店。側耳傾聽他們的娓娓敘說,且聽出他們沒能說出口的喑啞之聲。然後,以筆一字一句刻劃這些暫時隱沒容貌、以化名現身的人物,記下他們在碼頭內外的日日夜夜。

魏明毅筆下堅毅認命的清水嫂、自嘲無能的李松茂、沉默寡言的阿順、夜夜喝著酒水的李正德、渴望「說」與「被聽」的王家龍、善體人意的茶店經營者陳女士等人,所交織出的生命世界,曾經是那麼絢爛豐富,如今卻顯得黯淡無光。這些故事的主人翁面對際遇變遷和生命苦境,總是自嘆命運捉弄且歸咎自身無能,但魏明毅不懈地叩問社會性受苦的緣由,在她的抽絲剝繭、細細爬梳下,個中道理逐漸浮現檯面……。

Hygiene, Sociality, and Culture in Contemporary Rural China 豆瓣
作者: Lili Lai Amsterdam University Press 2017 - 2
This book presents a new perspective on attempts by the contemporary Chinese government to transform the diverse conditions found in countless rural villages into what the state’s social welfare program deems “socialist new villages.” Lili Lai argues that an ethnographic focus on the specifics of village life can help destabilize China’s persistent rural-urban divide and help contribute to more effective welfare intervention to improve health and hygienic conditions of village life.

迟到的故事 豆瓣
作者: 刘小磊 2004
从1984年创刊时起,《南方周末》就颇留意往事类题材,发表了不少有影响的文章,随着报纸的整体转型,此类文章渐渐从“野史”、“轶闻”的窠臼中脱胎。往事版的前身,叫作“解密新闻”,要做的内容是“已经成为历史的新闻与当年的新闻背后的历史”。汇集在这里的文章,追述的是民国以来历史的片羽飞鸿――那些看似熟知却并非真知的时间或人物。
Socialist Cosmopolitanism 豆瓣
作者: Nicolai Volland Columbia University Press 2017 - 3
Socialist Cosmopolitanism offers an innovative interpretation of literature from the Mao era, proposing to read Chinese socialist literature as world literature. China after 1949 engaged with the world beyond its borders in myriad ways and on many levels—political and economic, cultural as well as literary. Far from rejecting the worldliness of earlier eras, Nicolai Volland demonstrates, the young People's Republic developed its own cosmopolitanism. Rather than a radical break with the past, Chinese socialist literature should be seen as an integral and important chapter of China's long search to find a place within world literature. Socialist Cosmopolitanism revisits a range of genres, from poetry and land reform novels to science fiction and children's literature, and shows how Chinese writers and readers alike saw their own literary production as part of a much larger literary universe. This literary space, reaching from Beijing to Berlin, from Prague to Pyongyang, from Warsaw to Moscow to Hanoi, allowed authors and texts to travel, in the course reinventing the meaning of world literature. Chinese socialist literature is driven by a hugely ambitious—and ultimately doomed—attempt to redraw the literary world map.

“鬼子”来了 豆瓣
7.6 (18 个评分) 作者: 杨奎松 广西师范大学出版社 2016 - 7
对于延续了两千年文化传统的古老中国来说,近代一两百年面临最严峻的现实莫过于“鬼子来了”。这里的“鬼子”,不仅是指当年侵占中国半壁江山的“日本鬼子”,从更广阔的意义上讲,自始至终都是挟西方现代工业文明而来的“西洋鬼子”。古老在这个异质文明的冲击下,沿海和内地、城市和乡村、精英与民众,乃至各种不同人群之间,在行为、观念和生活交往方式上都益现悬隔、碰撞,社会乱象丛生、矛盾层出不穷,人们在思想、观念上的差距,也近乎天壤之别,越来越多的读书人“日日夜夜在新、旧、中、西中打滚”,在迷思和困惑中前行。
为何许多人不爱国?在不同的语境中,“民族主义”有什么高低优劣之分?“民族国家”和“国民国家”又有何差别?中国近代的发展究竟应该以谁为师,而老师为何总是欺负学生?为什么说抗日战争是民族复兴的枢纽?“中学”和“西学”到底谁“化”谁?这个世界有没有一个幸福终点站?
中国的出路有且只有一条,那就是中国的现代化。世界潮流,浩浩荡荡,从跻身现代国家之林的角度看,“鬼子来了”未必不是一件好事。
Intersectionality 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Patricia Hill Collins / Sirma Bilge Polity 2016 - 6
The concept of intersectionality has become a hot topic in academic and activist circles alike. But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability and ethnicity shape one another?
In this new book Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed, introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. They analyze the emergence, growth and contours of the concept and show how intersectional frameworks speak to topics as diverse as human rights, neoliberalism, identity politics, immigration, hip hop, global social protest, diversity, digital media, Black feminism in Brazil, violence and World Cup soccer. Accessibly written and drawing on a plethora of lively examples to illustrate its arguments, the book highlights intersectionality's potential for understanding inequality and bringing about social justice oriented change.
Intersectionality will be an invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the main ideas, debates and new directions in this field.
Who Governs? 豆瓣
作者: Robert A. Dahl Yale University Press 2005 - 5
In this now-classic work, one of the most celebrated political scientists of the twentieth century offers a powerful interpretation of the location of political power in American urban communities. For this new edition, Robert A. Dahl has written a new Preface in which he reflects on Who Governs? more than four decades after its publication. And in a new Foreword, Douglas W. Rae offers an assessment of Dahl’s achievement in this, Dahl’s greatest and most influential book. “Dahl is never dogmatic, and never imagines that the world stands still to accommodate either the democratic ideal or his own pluralistic theory of city politics. . . .Who Governs? is Dahl’s liveliest and most remarkable book.”—Douglas W. Rae, from the Foreword From reviews of the first edition: “A book that no one interested in politics can afford to ignore.”—Lewis A. Coser, Commentary “Anyone seriously concerned with current systematic political theory or with urban politics should read Who Governs?”—Hugh Douglas Price, Political Science Quarterly “A sophisticated and undogmatic treatise on democratic politics.”—Heinz Eulau, American Political Science Review “Dahl has illuminated a central question in political science, the problem of how men can govern themselves in complex societies. . . . Who Governs? will become a classic.”—from the citation of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award
Rural China Takes Off 豆瓣
作者: Jean C. Oi University of California Press 1999 - 5
In this incisive analysis of one of the most spectacular economic breakthroughs in the Deng era, Jean C. Oi shows how and why Chinese rural-based industry has become the fastest growing economic sector not just in China but in the world. Oi argues that decollectivization and fiscal decentralization provided party officials of the localities—counties, townships, and villages—with the incentives to act as entrepreneurs and to promote rural industrialization in many areas of the Chinese countryside. As a result, the corporatism practiced by local officials has become effective enough to challenge the centrality of the national state.
Dealing not only with the political setting of rural industrial development, Oi's original and strongly argued study also makes a broader contribution to conceptualizations of corporatism in political theory. Oi writes provocatively about property rights and principal-agent relationships and shows the complex financial incentives that underpin and strengthen the growth in local state corporatism and shape its evolution. This book will be essential for those interested in Chinese politics, comparative politics, and communist and post-communist systems.
A Nation-State by Construction Goodreads 豆瓣
作者: Suisheng Zhao Stanford University Press 2004 - 9
This is the first historically comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the causes, content, and consequences of nationalism in China, an ancient empire that has struggled to construct a nation-state and find its place in the modern world. It shows how Chinese political elites have competed to promote different types of nationalism linked to their political values and interests and imposed them on the nation while trying to repress other types of nationalism. In particular, the book reveals how leaders of the PRC have adopted a pragmatic strategy to use nationalism while struggling to prevent it from turning into a menace rather than a prop.

在历史中寻找中国 豆瓣
Searching for china in history
9.2 (18 个评分) 作者: 刘志伟 / 孙歌 东方出版中心 2016 - 10
本书以刘志伟与孙歌两位教授的对谈为主,附录罗艳春、周鑫对刘志伟教授做的访谈一篇。对谈双方在共享问题意识的前提下,围绕刘志伟教授及华南学派的研究展开对话,意在使华南研究的成果跨出历史学界,让更多领域的人得到共享。对谈内容涉及如何表述活的历史,如何把西方式普遍性的理论感觉相对化,以及如何看待整体性,以整体史的立场从事区域史研究,等等。
在访谈中,刘志伟教授畅谈他的求学、治学经历,娓娓道来他积淀数十年的治学经验。访谈很好地反映了刘志伟教授的学术关怀的形成过程,特别是从中可以看出他治学的出发点和展开逻辑,以及他与华南学派中的外籍和外地人员的长久的合作经历,等等。
本书涉及的内容在历史观或认识论的层面,对华南学派所做区域史研究的发展过程和历史意义作了比较全面的回顾和思考,是对刘志伟等华南学派学者30年来所做华南乡村社会研究的经验总结和理论升华。华南学派提出历史人类学的研究方向,为现今的史学研究摆脱传统史学观念的束缚,积极吸收人类学、社会学等其他学科的理论精华,从人的行为和交往关系出发重建历史叙述提供了新的思路,在认识论和方法论上可以说具有研究范式转换的重要意义。

The Power of Privilege 豆瓣
作者: Joseph Soares Stanford University Press 2007 - 4
It is widely assumed that admission to elite U.S. universities is based solely on academic merit—the best and brightest are admitted to Harvard, Yale, and their peer institutions as determined by test scores and GPA, and not by lineage or family income. But does reality support those expectations? Or are admissions governed by a logic that rewards socioeconomic status while disguising it as personal merit?
The Power of Privilege examines the nexus between social class and admissions at America's top colleges from the vantage point of Yale University, a key actor in the history of higher education. It is a documented history of the institutional gatekeepers, confident of the validity of socially biased measures of merit, seeking to select tomorrow's leadership class from among their economically privileged clientele. Acceptance in prestigious colleges still remains beyond the reach of most students except those from high-income professional families. Ultimately, the author suggests reforms that would move America's top schools toward becoming genuine academic meritocracies.
Think Tanks in America 豆瓣
作者: Thomas Medvetz University Of Chicago Press 2012 - 9
Over the past half-century, think tanks have become fixtures of American politics, supplying advice to presidents and policymakers, expert testimony on Capitol Hill, and convenient facts and figures to journalists and media specialists. But what are think tanks? Who funds them? What kind of "research" do they produce? Where does their authority come from? And how did they become influential?
In Think Tanks in America, Thomas Medvetz argues that the unsettling ambiguity of the think tank is not an accidental feature of its existence, but the very key to its impact. By combining elements of more established sources of public knowledge--universities, government agencies, businesses, and the media--think tanks exert tremendous influence on the way citizens and lawmakers perceive the world and construct policy, unbound by the more clearly defined roles of those other institutions. In the process, they have transformed the government of this country, the press, and the political role of intellectuals. Timely, succinct, and instructive, this provocative book will force us to rethink our understanding of the drivers of political debate in the United States.
How Emotions Work 豆瓣
作者: Jack Katz University Of Chicago Press 2001 - 11
How can it be that rational adults suddenly find themselves making obscene gestures at drivers who just cut them off? Why do people react with tears to events as disparate as winning a sports championship and the death of a parent? How can a child cry continuously in a cunningly strategic manner for five minutes, and then speak with no trace of the tears that were just shed? Jack Katz develops methods for unravelling these mysteries. His book undertakes to answer the fundamental questions at the heart of our emotional life. Katz fills the book with real-life emotions - crying under the pressure of police interrogation, road rage on California freeways, laughter in a funhouse, 8-year-olds shamefacedly striking out at baseball games - where their rise and fall can be observed without the artificial influence of the research process. By using videotapes, interviews, ethnographic description, participant observation and the insights of novelists, Katz studies emotions as physical and embodied - vibrantly, "under the radar" of a person's perceptual reach - rather than as remembered and recounted. Katz illustrates his methods with photographs and video stills that demonstrate the embodiment of emotion. The portrait that emerges is one in which people are much more sensually, intimately and aesthetically bound up in the landscapes of their lives than previous scientific studies would suggest. The text seeks to reveal the poetic and coherent logic of emotional experience and revolutionize the study of this enigmatic and essential aspect of human life.
Karl Marx 豆瓣
作者: Gareth Stedman Jones Belknap Press 2016 - 10
As much a portrait of his time as a biography of the man, Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion returns the author of Das Kapital to his nineteenth-century world, before twentieth-century inventions transformed him into Communism’s patriarch and fierce lawgiver. Gareth Stedman Jones depicts an era dominated by extraordinary challenges and new notions about God, human capacities, empires, and political systems—and, above all, the shape of the future.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, a Europe-wide argument began about the industrial transformation of England, the Revolution in France, and the hopes and fears generated by these occurrences. Would the coming age belong to those enthralled by the revolutionary events and ideas that had brought this world into being, or would its inheritors be those who feared and loathed it? Stedman Jones gives weight not only to Marx’s views but to the views of those with whom he contended. He shows that Marx was as buffeted as anyone else living through a period that both confirmed and confounded his interpretations—and that ultimately left him with terrible intimations of failure.
Karl Marx allows the reader to understand Marx’s milieu and development, and makes sense of the devastating impact of new ways of seeing the world conjured up by Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, Ricardo, Saint-Simon, and others. We come to understand how Marx transformed and adapted their philosophies into ideas that would have—through twists and turns inconceivable to him—an overwhelming impact across the globe in the twentieth century.

无声的革命 豆瓣
作者: 梁晨 / 张浩 生活·读书·新知三联书店 2013 - 8
1949年以来,中国高等教育领域出现了一场革命。
新中国高等教育生源开始多样化,以往为社会上层子女所垄断的状况被打破,工农等阶层的子女逐渐占据相当大的比重。基础教育的推广、统一高考招生制度的建立以及重点中学等制度安排共同推动了这一变革的出现。这场革命虽然不及社会政治革命那样引人瞩目,却同样意义深远。受教育者本人在实现命运转变的同时,也改变了国家和地方精英的身份构成,传统社会中封闭的阶层关系和结构被彻底改变了。
本书利用1949—2002年间北京大学和苏州大学学生学籍卡片的翔实材料,力图将这一革命及其成就呈现出来,为中国高等教育改革与发展提供借鉴。
