Everyday life in contemporary rural China is characterized by an increased sense of moral challenge and uncertainty. Ordinary people often find themselves caught between the moral frameworks of capitalism, Maoism and the Chinese tradition. This ethnographic study of the village of Zhongba (in Hubei Province, central China) is an attempt to grasp the ethical reflexivity of everyday life in rural China. Drawing on descriptions of village life, interspersed with targeted theoretical analyses, the author examines how ordinary people construct their own senses of their lives and their futures in everyday activities: building houses, working, celebrating marriages and funerals, gambling and dealing with local government. The villagers confront moral uncertainty; they creatively harmonize public discourse and local practice; and sometimes they resolve incoherence and unease through the use of irony. In so doing, they perform everyday ethics and re-create transient moral communities at a time of massive social dislocation.
讲居民的日常生活,居然没有提到日常生活中的宗教活动,十分不理解
评分1)大概談論了兩點,當改革開放後,現代化和商業化衝擊下,面對所謂morality breakdown時,everyday ethics如何抉擇與施行;2)組織內捲化(organizational involution)下,文化親密的環境下共謀社會(communities of complicity)如何得以建構;3)比較令人訝異的是,作者沿用了何偉亞《懷柔遠人》中有關「豐儉適中」和「方為妥善」的經典錯譯。感覺作者在文中對於一些中文單詞的理解也怪怪的;4)理論很fancy,故事很好讀,但,總覺得兩者很脫鉤,哪裡怪怪的。
评分角度(玩笑话加讽刺)、立论(框架和日常)和结论(“你懂的”共同体)都很好。还好这个小哥研究内容和我不一样,不然我那些好玩的东西都被他讲完了。推荐。
评分匆匆翻过,恩施的住房、工作、仪式、赌博、面子工程等,材料没啥,一头一尾高大上,我既不懂赫兹菲尔德也不懂罗蒂,不知道作者用得对不对。
评分可爱的石汉
