“一个奇怪的乱”用礼物的交换来理解南北方人的差异本人不能同意,首先,”南方人精于算计,北方人重义气“,这个前提就有问题,什么标准是义气,什么标准是算计,如果说讲关系聚山头算义气的话,南方人并不差,另外,这个问题本身就是一种带有"刻板模式"(stereotype)...
评分重新编辑一下书评,因为今天一件关于礼物流动的事情深深的触动了我,在此聊以记录。 我妈的亲姐姐(二姨)得孙,吃酒席是要顺彩礼的,妈妈本打算上账500,(因为二姨也曾顺500彩礼给我家喜事),但是大姨在未和其他姊妹商量的情况下上账了1000,抹不开面子妈妈也只好又补了500...
评分从前只是简单地认为礼物只是人们之间交流感情用的一个媒介,或者是为了达到一个目的而进行了送礼收礼的活动。阎云翔的《礼物经济与关系网络》一文中,发现原来在中国人的生活中礼物经济渗透在各个方面。文章以作者熟知的下岬村为例,先讲了送礼随礼这样的活动在村民的开支中占...

Gift-giving is a classic topic in anthropology, where on-going debates involve the principle of reciprocity, the spirit of the gift, and the relationship between gifts and commodities. In this study, the author examines the gift-giving and related social activities that pervade daily life in China, focusing on routine activities - visits between relatives, exchanges of food and labour between neighbours, gift-giving between friends - while not ignoring such special occasions as weddings and funerals. He constructs a classification of exchange behaviour in village society, examining the items of presentation, the types of gift-giving activities, and the hierarchical arrangement of givers and receivers. He also presents new interpretations of key concepts involved in Chinese gift-giving: guanxi (social networks), renqing (norms of interpersonal behaviour), mianzi (face), and bao (reciprocity). The book concludes by showing how the village gift economy has adjusted and survived in response to the radical social changes engendered by four decades of socialism.

评分回過頭來重新讀英文版,出乎意料地清晰明了,始終放在一個學術的脈絡下進行對話,非常扎實。頁35中的urban resident(城鎮居民)拼音應該是 chengzhen jumin,書中為「zhumin」,書最後character list中的倒是對的。
