近来读的一本阅读体验非常棒的学术(?)著作 没错,在30年后的今天看来,也许现在的第六大道已经大变样,但是这本书在现实意义还是在研究意义上都具有相当大的重要性 作者采用参与观察的方式深入到街头摊贩的生活中,他在田野调查中,是以街头摊贩的一员去研究,生活的,通过坦...
评分成长于中产阶级的白人、信仰犹太教的大学教授,在第六大道展开田野调查,参与式观察在人行道上生存的边缘人物,主要集中在卖杂志的小摊贩、拾荒者和乞讨者等无家可归的人物身上,大部分是受教育程度较低的贫穷黑人男性。 参与观察者和被观察者,明显存在着较大的种族和阶级差异...
评分中文版的近五百页,20多年前的书今年才译介进我国。大量带引号的对话实录可能时这本城市人类学民族志最大的特点,这也使得本书读起来非常顺畅。在书末,作者还附上了一篇详细的研究方法陈述,较为全面的介绍了作者从尝试融入人行道街区、录音机的使用、与本书主要人物哈基姆共...
评分 评分在翻开《人行道王国》之前,或许有人会产生这样的疑问:为什么我们要在2019年的现在,阅读一本美国学者写的关于上世纪九十年代纽约格林尼治村人行道上黑人摊贩的书?除了异域或者说异族的景观,这本书对我们又有多少启迪呢? 但不可否认的是,简·雅各布斯出版于1961年的《美国...

An exceptional ethnography marked by clarity and candor, Sidewalk takes us into the socio-cultural environment of those who, though often seen as threatening or unseemly, work day after day on “the blocks” of one of New York’s most diverse neighborhoods. Sociologist Duneier, author of Slim’s Table, offers an accessible and compelling group portrait of several poor black men who make their livelihoods on the sidewalks of Greenwich Village selling secondhand goods, panhandling, and scavenging books and magazines.
Duneier spent five years with these individuals, and in Sidewalk he argues that, contrary to the opinion of various city officials, they actually contribute significantly to the order and well-being of the Village. An important study of the heart and mind of the street, Sidewalk also features an insightful afterword by longtime book vendor Hakim Hasan. This fascinating study reveals today’s urban life in all its complexity: its vitality, its conflicts about class and race, and its surprising opportunities for empathy among strangers.
-"does it say 'Fuck' in the book?" -"Yes." -"I like it."
评分对于无家可归者,必须要有比“无家可归者”更为丰富的解读。这本书做到了,给出了很多路人、政策制定者从表面上无从得知的历史/事实,以及对于纽约第六大道人行道上的贫穷黑人男性的谋生之道给出逻辑判断。一个城市若要创造福祉,其关键是要给(提供、创造)边缘人群自力更生的机会,而非严格隔离。某几处读得很动人:他们不屈不饶的品质、他们生活中的温情,以及作者的人文关怀和方法上尽量的严谨得体。如果本科时能读到,可能这本书会有更大的影响力。
评分归根到底似乎是变动的法条新建了街角生态,人类adaptation能力的细致呈现。能让黑人们对录音机毫无芥蒂真是厉害,方法论里作者向研究对象朗读相关段落的对话特别体现了作者的毅力。在九十年代街头流动人口依然体现了他们的正面意义,但是在今天呢?
