This captivating ethnography explores Vietnam’s sex industry as the country ascends the global and regional stage. Over the course of five years, author Kimberly Kay Hoang worked at four exclusive Saigon hostess bars catering to diverse clientele: wealthy local Vietnamese and Asian businessmen, Viet Kieus (ethnic Vietnamese living abroad), Western businessmen, and Western budget-tourists. Dealing in Desire takes an in-depth and often personal look at both the sex workers and their clients to show how Vietnamese high finance and benevolent giving are connected to the intimate spheres of the informal economy. For the domestic super-elite who use the levers of political power to channel foreign capital into real estate and manufacturing projects, conspicuous consumption is a means of projecting an image of Asian ascendancy to potential investors. For Viet Kieus and Westerners who bring remittances into the local economy, personal relationships with local sex workers reinforce their ideas of Asia’s rise and Western decline, while simultaneously bolstering their diminished masculinity. Dealing in Desire illuminates Ho Chi Minh City’s sex industry as not just a microcosm of the global economy, but a critical space where dreams and deals are traded.
附录部分的反思很好。
评分honest and sincere
评分果然非常好。因为之前读过不少和性工作相关的研究所以她的很多发现并不能让我觉得耳目一新,关于男性气质的讨论也实在是看得太多只能激起对男性身份的可笑感后的同情(大家都是性别刻板印象的受害者)。但能看出扎实的田野与理论功底如何在行文中相互交融。附录大大加分:民族志作者如何在多个身份中展现不同的自我,并在利用和被利用之间周旋。真诚、批判和反思一个都不缺。
评分附录简直震撼了…作者正面出场,把田野背后的工作花絮啥的都给一一摆了出来…所以这么好读的故事写出来有多难啊!
评分how masculinities and femininities can shape the economic and political forces
