In Shaken Authority, Christian P. Sorace examines the political mechanisms at work in the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and the broader ideological energies that drove them. Sorace takes Communist Party ideas and discourse as central to how that organization formulates policies, defines legitimacy, and exerts its power. Sorace argues that the Communist Party has never abandoned its conviction that discourse can shape the world and the people who inhabit it. Sorace also demonstrates how the Communist Party's planning apparatus continues to play a crucial role in engineering China’s economy and market construction, especially in the countryside. Sorace takes a distinctive and original interpretive approach to understanding Chinese politics, and Shaken Authority demonstrates how Communist Party discourse and ideology influenced the official decisions and responses to the Sichuan earthquake. Sorace provides a clear view of the lived outcomes of Communist Party plans, rationalities, and discourses in the earthquake zone. The three case studies he presents each demonstrate a different type of reconstruction and model of development: urban-rural integration, tourism, and ecological civilization. Sorace’s work emphasizes the need for a grounded literacy in the political concepts, discourses, and vocabularies of the Communist Party itself. To dismiss China’s official discourse as "empty propaganda," Sorace argues, makes China and Chinese realities harder to understand, not easier.
每一次的危机都是对党的合法性的一次考验。
评分Party Propaganda那一套话语内地读者想必都不会陌生,但此书点出了其背后的assumption和意图,个人很受chapter 3启发,都江堰、映秀和青川的案例很有趣。和当年在四川调研所见类似,村里家家户户房子修得很好,但临近春节仍只有老弱妇孺,十分荒凉,本地没有机会,年轻人都外出打工了,老年贫困很普遍。总体来说可读性很强,不是太学术.

评分fieldwork做得让人眼前一亮
评分以汶川地震灾后重建为例,分析了我CPC的“国难”话语模式。。。和现在这情形倒也贴合
