In late-capitalist Western society, cross-ethnic cultural transactions are an inevitable daily routine. Yet, according to acclaimed cultural critic Rey Chow, the notion of ethnicity as it is currently used is theoretically ambivalent, confusing, indeed self-contradictory, straddling as it does an uneasy boundary between a universalist rhetoric of inclusion on the one hand, and actual, lived experiences of violence and intolerance on the other. To drastically reconceptualize ethnicity in the contemporary world, Chow proposes that it be examined in conjunction with Max Weber's famous theory about the Protestant work ethic and capitalism, which holds that secular belief in salvation often collaborates effectively with the interpellation, disciplining, and rewarding of subjects constituted by specific forms of labor. The charged figure that results from such a collaboration, resonant with the economic, psychological, and spiritual implications of the word "protest, " is what she refers to as the protestant ethnic. Chow explores the vicissitudes of cross-ethnic representational politics in a diverse range of texts across multiple genres, including the writings of Georg Lukacs, Michel Foucault, Max Weber, Jacques Derrida, Fredric Jameson, Etienne Balibar, Charlotte Bronte, Garrett Hongo, John Yau, and Frantz Fanon; the films of Alfred Hitchcock, Marguerite Duras, and Alain Resnais; and the cartoon drawings of Larry Feign. Tracing out hauntingly familiar scenarios from stereotyping and coercive mimeticism to collective narcissistic abjection, the rise of white feminist racial power, and intraethnic ressentiment, Chow articulates a series of interlocking critical dialogues that challenge readers into hitherto unimagined ways of thinking about an urgent topic.

讀瞭序言+第一章+跋。序言批福柯談生命權力的時候沒有談殖民主義;第一章批盧卡奇談瞭“人性”,因而是現代化思維的本質主義者(其實盧隻是沿用瞭勞動=人的經典馬剋思主義),另,這一章周蕾完全混淆瞭無産階級與少數族裔、受壓迫者之間的規範性差異;跋批法儂批那些嫁給白人的有色人種婦女,法儂嫉妒她們成功地實現瞭族裔融閤——他自己無法實現的理想。我的天呐。
評分導論從福柯“人的顯現”開始,引入生命政治與種族大屠殺,繼而將種族差異性與生命權力並置,認為人生而平等但卻有人更平等。總論章節標題緻敬韋伯,最巧妙之處在於藉用盧卡奇階級意識模型,將其解讀為關於拘役和抗爭的敘事,其對於人性逃離被“物化”的觀點則被用來佐證終結剝削的可能性,最終和韋伯的資本主義精神匯流,認為對峙和反抗是資本主義本身的結構,也是其興盛之因。將種族問題擴大到資本主義結構性問題,不管是否確切,整個過程確是酣暢淋灕,功力盡顯。分述中,運用刻闆印象、賤斥、摹仿、女性化等概念,剖析跨種族交流中的自我呈述和被呈述。理論運用和建構過於復雜,或是為瞭攪亂所有現行認知和預設。在資本主義精神下,對於新教式種族的召喚不斷在各處生成,我們需要打破種族性自我哀怨的情緒結構,終結其久在的被歧視邏輯。
評分cum on the wall那章看哭... 大濕可以多挖掘一下這些材料的
評分好看,最尾一章簡直是在為自已辯護?
評分就要死在這本英文版書裏瞭 清教徒我是看瞭n次纔記住智商是有多捉急= =
