具体描述

For seven years in the 1970s, the author lived in a village in northeast China as an ordinary farmer. In 1989, he returned to the village as an anthropologist to begin the unparalleled span of eleven years’ fieldwork that has resulted in this book―a comprehensive, vivid, and nuanced account of family change and the transformation of private life in rural China from 1949 to 1999. The author’s focus on the personal and the emotional sets this book apart from most studies of the Chinese family. Yan explores private lives to examine areas of family life that have been largely overlooked, such as emotion, desire, intimacy, privacy, conjugality, and individuality. He concludes that the past five decades have witnessed a dual transformation of private life: the rise of the private family, within which the private lives of individual women and men are thriving.

读后感

得到听书: 首先是择偶方式的变化，年轻一代取代了父母在自己择偶过程中的主导地位。第二，家庭关系的结构发生改变。夫妻关系的重要性显著上升，并且逐步取代过去的父权制度。第三，居住空间的私密化带来了隐私观念的普及。第四，传统大家庭的分家时间不断提前，彩礼金额逐步上...

一、全书综述 《私人生活的变革：一个中国村庄里的爱情、家庭与亲密关系》这本书中，作者的观点简单鲜明：一是农民的私人生活经历了私人家庭崛起和家庭内部个人私生活普遍出现的双重转型。二是国家在农民私人生活的转型及个人主体性形成过程中所起的重要作用，包括集体化时期对...  

这本书两个目标，第一，驳斥中国文化没有男女间亲密关系（情感）的说法；第二，描述乡村家庭结构随着时间的变化（择偶，两性互动，空间私有化以及家庭结构），最后总结成由于国家力量和政策的关系造成了年轻一代世风日下、人心不古、物质主义的中国式个人主义。 第一个目...  

3年前，我读完余华的《兄弟》下，难掩内心的失望，在个人空间上留下了这样一段话： “故事黑暗，充满了性和狂乱，这都没有关系，谁都知道现在就算不是一个最坏的时代，也绝非天堂，人类正不可避免地走向堕落。但，难道余华你也仅仅看到了这些，并只能用一个‘伦理...  

上个月初次浏览了阎云翔的《私人生活的变革》，觉得语言十分清晰、易懂，只感叹道作者的写作思路清晰、语言质朴，译者的翻译也相当精准。后来看到今年列文森奖的获奖作品，再去搜索历年列文森奖获奖名单时，才发现此书于2005年曾获此殊荣，想必应当在美国的学术界颇受好评。 作...  

用户评价

不懂为什么这么高分。是读过的最不喜欢的一本ethnography了。

又重读。。

This is actually an inspiring book, especially his discussion on George Duby and Phillippe Aries. I find myself cite them all the time.

果然研究intimacy虾米的有意思多了。。。难怪现在女性学者都喜欢做这方面。想起当年本科一个师姐去普度读社会学PHD，就选了家庭社会学的方向，提醒偶们广大女生，做这方面相对容易和能保持活力。。。现在想来也不无道理啊。研究森怕入错方向，喵呜=。=

目前来说，起码出发点是令人感到启发的。反思西方学界的bias从而发起一个新的研究，为我提供了一种思路。//一本充满了关怀的具有重要学术意义的开创性的个人为中心的民族志。
