In the early twentieth century, the Chinese state made strenuous efforts to broaden and deepen its authority over rural society. This book is an ambitious attempt to offer both a method and a framework for analyzing Chinese social history in the state-making era.The author constructs a prismatic view of village-level society that shows how marketing, kinship, water control, temple patronage, and other structures of human interaction overlapped to form what he calls the cultural nexus of power in local society. The author's concept of the cultural nexus and his tracing of how it was altered enables us for the first time to grapple with change at the village level in all its complexity.The author asserts that the growth of the state transformed and delegitimized the traditional cultural nexus during the Republican era, particularly in the realm of village leadership and finances. Thus, the expansion of state power was ultimately and paradoxically responsible for the revolution in China as it eroded the foundations of village life, leaving nothing in its place.The problems of state-making in China were different from those of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe; the Chinese experience heralds the process that would become increasingly common in the emergent states of the developing world under the very different circumstances of the twentieth century.

文化的權力網絡 從研究方法上:首先說杜贊奇的研究方法及全書的研究思路:這本書中提齣瞭兩個中心概念,這兩個中心概念因為我不瞭解當時或現在研究常用的研究術語和生態,因此,我感覺不到它的新意。但是,在書的序和後記部分,作者提到他用瞭兩個概...

評分杜贊奇此書是分析“權力的文化網絡”與“國傢政權建設”在鄉村社會的依存、滲透、競爭,他得齣的結論是若國傢政權建設在現代化的過程中摧毀啦傳統的權力結構,但同時不能有效建立為民眾所接受的新的權力結構,政權的內捲化,社會基礎脆弱,在麵臨衝擊時,政權的崩潰不遠矣。 ...
評分研一的時候,曾草草讀過此書關於國傢政權建設與權力的文化網絡部分,另精讀此書的宗教一章。這種掐頭去尾的閱讀方式在麵對一些沒有首尾連貫性的書籍時還能敷衍,麵對這種邏輯性極強,一章扣一章的書籍,則實屬不負責任。故此次重讀,是為從頭至尾的精讀。 “權力的文化網絡”作...

評分主要觀點聽起來很閤理,但感性上總覺得無法認同

評分可以和神堂記憶、叫魂以及Keenth Dean的福建儀式網絡的研究對照起來看,杜贊奇是少見的人類學會引用的關於中國的做曆史的人,二十多年前的書現在看也不過時。
