Anthropologist Susan Brownell, heptathlon gold medallist in the 1986 National College Games of the People's Republic of China, draws on her direct experience of Chinese athletics to provide an insight into the culture of sports and the body in China. The book introduces the notion of "body culture" to analyze Olympic sports as one element in a whole set of Chinese body practices: the "old people's disco dancing" craze; the popularity of bodybuilding (following reluctant official acceptance of the bikini); mass calisthenics; martial arts; military discipline; and more. Translating official and dissident materials into English and drawing on performance theory and histories of the body, the text uses the culture of the body as a focal point to explore the tensions between local and global organizations, the traditional and the modern, and men and women. The author's intimate knowledge of Chinese social and cultural life and the wide range of historic examples utilized aim to provide a novel perspective on how gender, the body and the nation are interlinked in Chinese culture.

评分泛讀，驚艷，不過主要是1980s和運動員群體。廣義的“體育”被譯作physical culture. 作者身為運動員和人類學傢的結閤真的太奇妙瞭。在結構和洞見上比較自然地藉鑒瞭福柯（討論中國古代的祭祀場景和現代的國傢比賽）、埃利亞斯（對文明和文化的討論）和布迪厄，不生硬且令人信服。迴頭細讀。
评分閱讀速度到期末達到峰值 #Final如何逼你倆小時一本書
评分Brownell這本書蠻具有開創性的，讀起來也很有意思。我們一直都在說“實現現代化”，但現代化最初的意義其實就是法西斯：鍛煉身體，為祖國戰鬥嘛。唯一一點想質疑的，就是在引用曆史找現狀的解釋時太具有主觀性，這不是作者一人能解決的問題，我一直以為自古文武隻是職業的兩個categories，但作者引瞭孟子的“勞心者治人，勞力者治於人”，然後把搞體育的和勞力者聯係起來，又說自古有“重文輕武”之說，雖然不是平白無故這麼說，但彆人很容易就可以找齣反例。
