爱德华•萨义德在《东方主义》的开篇中谈到,东方主义是 “文化和政治的现实”,并且是一种被建构的现实,将西方人的想象投射到关于东方的话语之中。既然是话语,就有着一张普罗透斯的脸,文学的、历史的或是政治的,当然也可能是以法律的形式存在。美国埃默里大学的络德睦(T...

Since the Cold War ended, China has become a global symbol of disregard for human rights, while the United States has positioned itself as the world's chief exporter of the rule of law. How did lawlessness become an axiom about Chineseness rather than a fact needing to be verified empirically, and how did the United States assume the mantle of law's universal appeal? In a series of wide-ranging inquiries, Teemu Ruskola investigates the history of "legal Orientalism": a set of globally circulating narratives about what law is and who has it. For example, why is China said not to have a history of corporate law, as a way of explaining its "failure" to develop capitalism on its own? Ruskola shows how a European tradition of philosophical prejudices about Chinese law developed into a distinctively American ideology of empire, influential to this day. The first Sino-U.S. treaty in 1844 authorized the extraterritorial application of American law in a putatively lawless China. A kind of legal imperialism, this practice long predated U.S. territorial colonialism after the Spanish-American War in 1898, and found its fullest expression in an American district court's jurisdiction over the "District of China. " With urgent contemporary implications, legal Orientalism lives on in the enduring damage wrought on the U.S. Constitution by late nineteenth-century anti-Chinese immigration laws, and in the self-Orientalizing reforms of Chinese law today. In the global politics of trade and human rights, legal Orientalism continues to shape modern subjectivities, institutions, and geopolitics in powerful and unacknowledged ways.
westernization=self-orientalization ?
评分主要内容一百页就能写明白,有点啰嗦了,而且落不到实处。第三章其实该单独拿出来多写点,放在里面作为一章觉得有些奇怪。优点在于视角独特,写美国的法律东方主义和西方对中国法律的认识。以及中国作为"他者"对美国法律以及美国人身份起到塑造作用。这种认识往往出自于想象和偏见。
评分a little bit American-centered! but still an impressive one!
评分westernization=self-orientalization ?
评分顾盛在华期间和美国政府之间的通信比较有意思,加一星。总体而言,作者对中国史的了解非常有限,以至于提出了很多好问题,但是根本无力做出解释,很多结论过于想当然了;作者对领事法院和会审公廨的认知又很肤浅…总之,没有金刚钻就别揽这瓷器活
