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.

很奇怪的組閤。單拎齣某一章節完全看不齣從ethics這個理論視角來做研究的重要性到底在哪,各章節討論ethics的理論脈絡也並不統一,讓ethics變成瞭人類學新版雜食大籮筐。邵京的理論玩得最好。閆雲翔這個總結倒是努力在更宏觀的層麵迴應問題,然而striving individual隻不過是在人觀層麵把社會道德結構斷裂的問題重述瞭一遍,藉著這一波倫理研究勢頭把自己的冷飯又炒瞭一遍
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。
評分恩師齣品必屬精品
