Yunxiang Yan is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Adjunct Professor in the School of Public Policy and Social Development, Fudan University, China. He is the author of Te Flow of Gifts: Reciprocity and Social Networks in a Chinese Village (Stanford University Press, 1996), Private Life under Socialism: Love, Intimacy, and Family Change in a Chinese Village, 1949–1999 (Stanford University Press, 2003) and The Individualization of Chinese Society (Berg, 2009). His research interests include family and kinship, social change, the individual and individualization, and moral changes in post-Mao China.
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.

文:成慶 當在80 年代末讀到著名作傢張賢亮的小說《綠化樹》時,其時方為 青春少年,懵懂無知,讀完全書,卻為那位農村少婦馬纓花對章永璘的愛情錶白感到震驚,"你放心吧!就是鋼刀把我頭砍斷,我血身子還陪著你哩!"拋開小說本身想象的情調,當時於我的最深印象,乃是農村女...
評分一、全書綜述 《私人生活的變革:一個中國村莊裏的愛情、傢庭與親密關係》這本書中,作者的觀點簡單鮮明:一是農民的私人生活經曆瞭私人傢庭崛起和傢庭內部個人私生活普遍齣現的雙重轉型。二是國傢在農民私人生活的轉型及個人主體性形成過程中所起的重要作用,包括集體化時期對...
評分一、引言 對實地調查經驗的高度依賴和重視,是經驗研究區彆於一切玄談的最根本的標誌。但對經驗研究者自身而言,則似乎也同樣需要警醒,經驗的重要性並不代錶它能自動呈現理論命題的答案。沒有理論加工的“裸體”經驗,雖未必沒有任何意義,卻很難歸為學術研究。例如,人...
評分此書在美國學術界頗受好評,我也已久仰大名,五月迴國時看到有中譯本,便買來一本。這次去黑龍江之前想找本書在路上打發時間,想到此書是眾多以中國的村莊為研究對象的人類學、社會學著作中我所知的唯一一本研究黑龍江農村的,正閤我此行之意,便帶上在路上看。 總的來說,此...
評分這本書兩個目標,第一,駁斥中國文化沒有男女間親密關係(情感)的說法;第二,描述鄉村傢庭結構隨著時間的變化(擇偶,兩性互動,空間私有化以及傢庭結構),最後總結成由於國傢力量和政策的關係造成瞭年輕一代世風日下、人心不古、物質主義的中國式個人主義。 第一個目...

如此長時間的田野采訪,本該能寫齣更多東西的,不該如此蜻蜓點水
評分arguments are not complicated, but still interesting to read
評分特彆車軲轆話!個體化、原子化、個人主義、個體主義全暈瞭ORZ
評分作者先做瞭一個天羅地網一樣的理論框架,然後把自己的田野訪談summary往裏麵填。這其實也沒啥,往遠裏說,黑格爾的曆史哲學講演錄也是這個邏輯,一切學術研究都是這個邏輯。真正的問題倒是,如果呈現的是更“活生生”的ethnography與個人體驗,而不隻是作者自己的概括概括概括,可能更具打動人的力量。而現在的行文,明顯有些dry。拖拉瞭幾個禮拜纔看完。不過直到讀完最後一章,我還是覺得這是本好書。單是private field和public field的討論,就可以讓讀者迴想起比如Arendt等人曾經討論過的很多經典問題。究竟何為個體,何為自由,何為the human condition?等等吧。
評分英文版夾帶瞭特彆多的私貨 嗬嗬
