Love’s Uncertainty explores the hopes and anxieties of urban, middle-class parents in contemporary China. Combining long-term ethnographic research with textual analyses of popular child-rearing manuals, television dramas, and government documents, Teresa Kuan bears witness to the dilemmas of ordinary Chinese parents, who struggle to reconcile new definitions of good parenting with the reality of limited resources. Situating these parents’ experiences in the historical context of state efforts to “improve population quality,” Love’s Uncertainty reveals how global transformations are expressed in the most intimate of human experiences. Ultimately, the book offers a meditation on the nature of moral agency, examining how people discern, amid the myriad contingencies of life, the boundary between what can and cannot be controlled.
写得什么玩意儿 第一章把什么道家法家孙子兵法草船借箭都扯出来了 对structure vs agency的critique又很cliche 白白浪费了一个有趣的课题
评分頁210結尾部分,"I have tried to go beyond the tired dichotomies of power versus agency, reproduction versus resistance, by focusing on moral experience and by locating the art of disposition in everyday life." 我很同意。帶入Francois Jullien著作中「勢」的概念來討論,一開始覺得很妙,但後面就有一丟丟「莫名其妙」了。。。全書的英文讀起來很舒服。
评分关姐姐!
评分我导师+我女神的书当然要支持啦!!!(看过之前几版draft的喔)
评分我导写民族志没有那种大佬的举重若轻感,但逻辑上严密得多。本书最重要的部分就是理论抱负,用 Saba Mahmood, James Laidlaw 和于连一起破除 foucauldian霸权框架的有力之作,尽管经验的细枝末节还可商榷。写博论又好好捋了一遍结构,学习了一下 articulation。
