Charles Stafford is Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics, and a specialist in issues related to learning and cognition. He is the author of Separation and Reunion in Modern China and co-editor of Questions of Anthropology.
Drawing on a wide range of anthropological case studies, this book focuses on ordinary ethics in contemporary China. The book examines the kinds of moral and ethical issues that emerge (sometimes almost unnoticed) in the flow of everyday life in Chinese communities.
How are schoolchildren judged to be good or bad by their teachers and their peers - and how should a 'bad' student be dealt with? What exactly do children owe their parents, and how should this debt be repaid? Is it morally acceptable to be jealous if one's neighbours suddenly become rich? Should the wrongs of the past be forgotten, e.g. in the interests of communal harmony, or should they be dealt with now?
In the case of China, such questions have obviously been shaped by the historical contexts against which they have been posed, and by the weight of various Chinese traditions. But this book approaches them on a human scale. More specifically, it approaches them from an anthropological perspective, based on participation in the flow of everyday life during ethnographic fieldwork in Chinese communities.

評分閻雲翔倒是和Foucault正麵交鋒瞭,邵京很聰明地用瞭一下語言人類學,其實還大有空間。序言寫得很奇怪,很讓英國人類學的擁躉失望。

評分不夠有意思的倫理研究會以三種形態齣現:1.指認這也是ethical、那也是ethical、一切都是ethical的, 2.描繪從過去到今天一種value的變遷,3.指認一個個體在他生活中遭遇瞭一個非A即B的倫理睏境。如果倫理人類學隻是這樣而已,那就太沒意思瞭。
