东晋门阀政治 豆瓣
9.3 (14 个评分) 作者: 田余庆 北京大学出版社 2005 - 6
本书讲述的是从公元4世纪初年至5世纪初年的百余年间,江左几家侨姓门阀士族与司马氏皇权结合而运转的政治历史。虽不是全面的东晋政治史,但从东晋门阀士族的兴替和门阀政治的发展以至消亡,偏重于政治史方面的研究,它以江左几家侨姓士族的兴衰为线索进行考察,但也不同于各个士族门户的个案研究。书中亦旁及军事、地理、文化、经济诸问题,却也只限于阐明门阀政治的需要。

Privilege: The Making of an Adolescent Elite at St. Paul's School
8.2 (43 个评分) 作者: 西莫斯·可汗 译者: 蔡寒韫 华东师范大学出版社 2016 - 1
本书是一部参与式观察研究的范本,作者通过考察一所美国精英高中的日常,研究精英意识和行为是如何一步步在社会互动中形成的。尤其是在现代信息社会知识易得的情况下,这些年轻人在接纳美式勤奋观的同时,不再比拼知识的占有。他们淡化了对“高尚情趣”和“你认识谁”的重视程度,取而代之关心一个人认识世界的方式和在这个世界里扮演的角色。这条成为精英的道路很特别,奇妙地结合了当代文化习俗和古典价值观。像圣保罗和常春藤这样的院校看上去越来越不像一个排外的游艇俱乐部,而是越来越接近我们多样性社会的一个缩影——一个包含细致具体的社会规则的微观世界。
Chinese Elites and Political Change 豆瓣
作者: R. Keith Schoppa Harvard University Press 1982 - 4
With the Qing Dynasty reform efforts (1901–1911), abolition of the civil service examination (1905), and the end of the monarchy (1912), the first three decades of the twentieth century brought important changes to the elite of Zhejiang Province. This book examines the social backgrounds, public activities, careers, and decision-making of local and provincial elites—that is, nonprofessional men who had taken on public duties when the multiplying problems of government had resulted in a general breakdown of public functions.
While elites in early twentieth-century China have often been caricatured as militarists, corrupt bureaucrats, evil landlords, and ineffectual reformers, they have not been clearly understood or closely analyzed. Since the seventeenth century, elites had been assuming increasing responsibility for funding and managing public projects, and by the twentieth century had expanded their activities still further. In the first three decades of the century, they experienced substantial personal and communitarian development; it was the structures and processes developed by these elites that subsequent regimes—Guomindang, Japanese, or Communist—had to build upon and adapt.
Keith Schoppa divides the counties of Zhejiang Province into four zones according to level of political and economic development and scrupulously analyzes the complex processes of remolding society at the local and provincial levels. By delving beneath the heroic figures and large movements of Chinese political life in this century, he reveals the common factors that make China a part of the worldwide story of reconstruction, reform, and developmental change.
Power/Knowledge 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Michel Foucault 译者: Colin Gordon / Leo Marshall Vintage 1980 - 11
Michel Foucault has become famous for a series of books that have permanently altered our understanding of many institutions of Western society. He analyzed mental institutions in the remarkable Madness and Civilization; hospitals in The Birth of the Clinic; prisons in Discipline and Punish; and schools and families in The History of Sexuality. But the general reader as well as the specialist is apt to miss the consistent purposes that lay behind these difficult individual studies, thus losing sight of the broad social vision and political aims that unified them.
.
Now, in this superb set of essays and interviews, Foucault has provided a much-needed guide to Foucault. These pieces, ranging over the entire spectrum of his concerns, enabled Foucault, in his most intimate and accessible voice, to interpret the conclusions of his research in each area and to demonstrate the contribution of each to the magnificent -- and terrifying -- portrait of society that he was patiently compiling.
.
For, as Foucault shows, what he was always describing was the nature of power in society; not the conventional treatment of power that concentrates on powerful individuals and repressive institutions, but the much more pervasive and insidious mechanisms by which power "reaches into the very grain of individuals, touches their bodies and inserts itself into their actions and attitudes, their discourses, learning processes and everyday lives"
.
Foucault's investigations of prisons, schools, barracks, hospitals, factories, cities, lodgings, families, and other organized forms of social life are each a segment of one of the most astonishing intellectual enterprises of all time -- and, as this book proves, one which possesses profound implications for understanding the social control of our bodies and our minds.

The Power of the Internet in China 豆瓣
作者: Guobin Yang Columbia University Press 2009 - 6
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has revolutionized popular expression in China, enabling users to organize, protest, and influence public opinion in unprecedented ways. Despite efforts to control these activities, online activism has been an agent of immense social change, allowing common citizens to disseminate content and openly challenge the authority of political and economic elites.
Guobin Yang’s pioneering study follows the rise of this dynamic protest and the forces that keep it relevant and unique. Online activism encompasses an innovative range of rituals, genres, and styles, and state efforts to constrain it have only led to more creative acts of subversion. Internet businesses have encouraged these contentious activities, generating an unusual synergy between capitalism and civil organizations that sponsor critique. Based on ten years of meticulous research and grounded in theories of social movements and the public sphere, Yang’s study emphasizes the mutual shaping of technology and society and highlights the important role of a transnational diaspora in the making of a Chinese Internet culture. In conclusion, Yang argues that online activism reflects important structural changes in contemporary China and points to a new era of informational politics.
Symbolic Power, Politics, and Intellectuals 豆瓣
作者: David L. Swartz University Of Chicago Press 2013 - 4
Power is the central organizing principle of all social life, from culture and education to stratification and taste. And there is no more prominent name in the analysis of power than that of noted sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Throughout his career, Bourdieu challenged the commonly held view that symbolic power - the power to dominate - is solely symbolic. He emphasized that symbolic power helps create and maintain social hierarchies, which form the very bedrock of political life. By the time of his death in 2002, Bourdieu had become a leading public intellectual, and his argument about the more subtle and influential ways that cultural resources and symbolic categories prevail in power arrangements and practices had gained broad recognition. In "Symbolic Power, Politics, and Intellectuals", David L. Swartz delves deeply into Bourdieu's work to show how central - but often overlooked - power and politics are to an understanding of sociology. Arguing that power and politics also stand at the core of Bourdieu's sociology, Swartz illuminates Bourdieu's political project for the social sciences, as well as Bourdieu's own political activism, explaining how sociology is not just science but also a crucial form of political engagement.
Knowledge and Human Interests 豆瓣

Hegemony and Socialist Strategy 豆瓣
作者: Ernesto Laclau / Chantal Mouffe Verso 2001 - 6
Since its original publication fifteen years ago, this hugely influential book has been at the centre of much debate. The arguments and controversies it has been aroused are, furthermore, far from abating: the disintegration of the Soviet bloc, the emergence of new social and political identities linked to the transformation of late capitalism, and the crisis of a left-wing project whose essentialist underpinnings have increasingly come under fire have, if anything, made more relevant than ever the theoretical perspective that the book proposes. Moreover the political project of 'radical and plural democracy' that it advocates provides a much-needed antidote to the attempts to formulate a Third Way capable of overcoming the classical opposition between Left and Right. Updated with a new preface, this is a fundamental text for understanding the workings of hegemony and grasping the nature of contemporary social struggle and their significance for democratic theory.

幸福先生 豆瓣
Mr. Bliss
作者: [英国] J·R·R·托尔金 译者: 多多 上海人民出版社 2016 - 1
★英国文豪、《霍比特人》《魔戒》作者托尔金经典亲子绘本
★带给孩子所有属于圣诞的快乐、无邪与甜蜜
★萌娃多多爱不释手的睡前枕边书
★幸福老爸黄磊带多多共同翻译,双语呈现大师风采
托尔金用小儿子克里斯托弗的玩具小汽车和驾驶员,以及三个孩子的玩具熊为灵感创作了图文并茂的《幸福先生》。那辆得以驶入童话世界尽情驰骋的玩具车自此成为克里斯托弗最珍爱的玩具。
故事的主人公幸福先生,是一个古怪又热衷时髦的绅士!他住在一栋高大的房子里,酷爱各种高高的帽子,家里的天花板很高,大门也很高,墙上更是少不了成排的衣帽钩——还有,一辆他引以为豪的纯银色酷炫自行车——但没有脚踏板。有一天,他心血来潮去买了一辆汽车。 头一遭上路兜风就祸事连连,接连撞倒了戴先生和奈特太太——部分应归咎于幸福先生糟糕的开车技术。可这还只是一连串令人啼笑皆非的囧事的开始,他怎么也没想到会遇见三只拦路打劫的熊。
它们是:阿奇、泰迪、布鲁诺。这三只拦路打劫的熊,要论调皮捣蛋可是一把好手,而且还常常耍无赖搞些顺手牵羊。当然啦,它们本质并不坏,最后也吃到教训了。
幸福先生还养了一只萌宠——长颈兔。它有着长颈鹿的斑纹和脖子,还长着兔子的耳朵、身子和尾巴,被幸福先生偷偷养在园中——因为他不愿交纳饲养许可费,但最后还是被大家发现了,这还闹出了一场不大不小的风波。
【部分国外读者评论】
*《幸福先生》是一本该和孩子一起读的书,如果你还没有孩子,那就抽出时间释放你内心的孩子吧。每一座花园里都该有一只长颈兔。
*如果我要选一本图画本念给孩子听,我的首选会是托尔金!

跟大卫·哈维读《资本论》 豆瓣 谷歌图书
A Companion To Marx's Capital, Volume 2
作者: [美] 大卫·哈维 译者: 谢富胜 李连波 等 上海译文出版社 2016 - 1
我的目的和《跟大卫•哈维读<资本论>》(第一卷)时一样,是促使你们去读马克思的《资本论》。
首先,我想提醒你们仔细研读《资本论》第二卷的重要性,并且要和第一卷联系起来。《资本论》第一卷主要关注剩余价值生产的过程和动力,而把实现过程中可能出现的问题放在一边。第二卷则从相反的方向说明:假设剩余价值生产领域没有任何困难,而把其实现过程放到显微镜下进行分析。事实上,不重视《资本论》第二卷的后果更为糟糕,我们甚至连第一卷的内容都无法充分理解。
生产和实现的统一,就像商品一样,是一个矛盾的统一体。生产和实现之间的矛盾,导致了危机频繁爆发。马克思说,李嘉图及其整个学派“始终不了解实际的现代危机,在这种危机中,资本的这种矛盾暴风雨般地突然爆发出来,日益严重地威胁到作为社会基础和生产基础的资本本质”。
剩余价值的生产和实现存在深刻的矛盾。在资本主义这一社会形态中,这种矛盾是永远存在的。要么最大化剩余价值生产的条件,结果是威胁到市场上剩余价值实现的条件;要么改善工人的待遇,保持充足的有效需求,结果是影响生产中创造剩余价值的能力。
当然,有一种办法能够缓解甚至有效地管理生产和实现之间的矛盾,那就是乞求于信用的帮助。出于这个原因,我决定把《资本论》第三卷中说明商业和金融资本的部分连同对信用制度的说明,一起加入对第二卷的解读。这有助于我们理解马克思主义政治经济学的总体性。也是在第三卷中,马克思对实际危机——1848年和1857年危机做了最贴近的分析。看看马克思的分析,对我们应对2007年后资本主义的全球危机很有帮助。
我个人在很多方面都非常感激《资本论》第二卷,因为第二卷是关于资本循环如何塑造自己的空间和时间的,这有助于解释为什么资本主义历史以加快生产和削减空间移动成本与障碍为特征。第二卷把这一趋势置于永不停歇的再生产和阶级关系扩张的背景下,而这恰恰是资本是什么的核心问题。第二卷还提供了更严谨的理论基础,使我得以理解城市化的政治经济学和区域间不均衡发展的动力学,我自己的著作从中获得了很多灵感。

镜中的忧郁 豆瓣
8.6 (7 个评分) 作者: 让·斯塔罗宾斯基 译者: 郭宏安 华东师范大学出版社 2012 - 9
《镜中的忧郁:关于波德莱尔的三篇阐释》讲述在西方文化中,忧郁可能是最具特色的东西。著名的瑞士文艺批评家、理论家斯塔罗宾斯基以法国19世纪现代派诗人、象征派诗歌的先驱波德莱尔为例,通过一系列相互联系的问题,如忧郁者如何说话,诗人和剧作家如何让他们说话,人们如何向忧郁者说话等,循序渐进地考察了“镜中的忧郁”这个主题以及文学领域内“低垂的头”这一形象。《镜中的忧郁:关于波德莱尔的三篇阐释》表明,在艺术史家潘诺夫斯基和萨克斯之后,斯塔罗宾斯基比任何人都更加注意将忧郁置于艺术史家和文学史家关注的中心地位。
怎样看到鹿 豆瓣
作者: 周玮 商务印书馆 2014 - 4
本书的主题在于反映“一个博物爱好者的内心,以及她对自然的感受”,在内容形式上,作者讲述观察自然的花鸟鱼虫的故事,以及由此引发的感想。在框架上,则通过不同的“地域”来串联:佛农山——北京——里诺,最后以瓦尔登湖的朝圣结束。一个业余博物爱好者,一个生态关注者,就这样在不同地域文化之中穿梭往来,在陌生之地从一花一鸟开始熟悉,在常居之地则不断发掘身边惯常的地景,重新发现自然的美与乐趣。在中美两种地域文化之间,另有一个互相映衬比照呼应的层次,丰富了自然和文化体验。比如第一部分“佛农小城”中有一篇《连翘、春天、北平》,就是这种例子。
而说到底,草木生灵有情,也是作者多情所致,天地莽莽,而万物中有一两样竟入得其眼,总有机缘,有缘在此相遇,并融入生活,沉入记忆,这其中不时翻滚沉浮者,是需要作者把它们留在纸上的呼召。这也便是作者写这本书的缘由。
