Behind China’s growing economic and political power is a vast underworld of marginalized social groups. In this powerful and timely book, Wanning Sun focuses on the country’s hundreds of millions of rural migrant workers, who embody China's most intractable problems of inequality. Drawing on rich and extensive fieldwork, the author argues that despite the critical role their labor has played in enabling and sustaining the country’s remarkable economic growth, workers and peasants have become the nation’s “subalterns.”
Sun focuses especially on the role of media and culture in negotiating the unequal relationships that exist between various social groups. She shows that in the face of the harsh reality of injustice and discrimination, China’s rural migrants engage in media and cultural practices that are at once both mundane and profound—invariably imbued with hope and dignity, and motivated by the dream of a better life. Exploring the cultural politics of inequality in post-Mao China, this engaging and compelling book will be essential reading for all concerned with the increasing centrality of media and the cultural politics of representation in our highly digitalized and mediated world.
really approachable. proper and rich materials. nice book. BUT why this one sooooo expensive???
评分这本书太棒了,让我每一句都想要摘抄。书中对底层文化和中产文化之间、媒体与不同阶级之间、官方话语与底层话语之间的不平等关系的分析都非常有启发。底层属下阶级并不缺乏媒体技术的能力或是对媒介的感知力,但因其自身能够动用的媒介缺乏集中性、缺乏广泛的受众、缺乏可以被底层所接受的领导力、也缺乏可以想象的替代性愿景,分散的底层话语并不能导向有效的动员。孙皖宁讨论斯皮瓦克对底层的定义,即被剥夺话语权的阶层。有趣的是,按照此种定义,或许不难argue中国的中产也正在逐渐底层化,这本书的借鉴意义或许比我们此刻所能想象的更大。

评分Can the subaltern speak?What are their cultural practices?媒介使用与文化创造、消费是底层identity的一部分,也是理解底层在国家、资本与社会三者之间的关系中的地位,理解他们的底层意识/阶级意识形成、理解社会变革必不可少的路径。大众文化的崛起是一场革命,底层文化的崛起将更是一场真正的革命,a long revolution!!!
