Teresa Kuan is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
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.

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,但後麵就有一丟丟「莫名其妙」瞭。。。全書的英文讀起來很舒服。

評分三星半,對這樣一個題目而言,這個研究的設計顯然並非最佳,實驗民族誌的寫作方式完成度也不足以讓論述變得豐滿。但作者確實很真誠地在思考這個問題。
