很多技术史著作有着浓重的功能主义色彩。本书前几章描绘四川夹江县造纸地区,洋洋洒洒援引人口、土地、作坊、产量、分工的数据,简而言之造纸业是当地社会经济的一个有机部分,技术和家庭、村落结构、kinship密不可分。乡村社会自成系统,特殊的手工业虽非男耕女织,但也可以吸...
评分一个四川手工造纸村20世纪的社会史,因为是历史,期间大量叙述可以如故事一般阅读,障碍不大,本书阐述了造纸特色村的技术、家庭、宗族、经济、政治等发展过程,对大跃进之后的近代部分理解更有感触,荒唐的年代里发生的荒唐事情,从另一个角度观看今天社会,不论美国还是其他...

This book charts the vicissitudes of a rural community of papermakers in Sichuan. The process of transforming bamboo into paper involves production-related and social skills, as well as the everyday skills that allowed these papermakers to survive in an era of tumultuous change. The Chinese revolution - understood as a series of interconnected political, social, and technological transformations - was, Jacob Eyferth argues, as much about the redistribution of skill, knowledge, and technical control as it was about the redistribution of land and political power. The larger context for this study is the 'rural-urban divide': the institutional, social, and economic cleavages that separate rural people from urbanites. This book traces the changes in the distribution of knowledge that led to a massive transfer of technical control from villages to cities, from primary producers to managerial elites, and from women to men. It asks how a vision of rural people as unskilled has affected their place in the body politic and contributed to their disenfranchisement. By viewing skill as a contested resource, subject to distribution struggles, it addresses the issue of how revolution, state-making, and marketization have changed rural China.
结构略零散,introduction,chapter5,6 和结论不错。比较可惜的是,“技术”的理论遗憾应仍可扩展。
评分导论技惊四座,对skill此概念的解读既参考欧陆哲学与经济学literature又与中国现实结合。前六章以deskilling,modernization,state-building为线索,依照chronological的顺序书写夹江的历史。然而第七章开始偏离对skill对讨论而转向宗族和市场,有虎头蛇尾之嫌。其实后三章单独看都是很好的ethnography,尤其是最后一章对于造纸人竖族谱这一行为之意涵的解读非常sophisticated。Conclusion放大视野,与Scott等人对话,进一步阐述现代化和国家建设的implication,并把deskilling这一过程与经济发展结合讨论。冒昧讲一句,感觉正是Eyferth忠实于材料(不剪裁)的写法才造成了后面几章脱节的感觉。
评分He describes the elaborate social infrastructure that supported paper making in Jiajiang and traces the impact that repeated government efforts to restructure the countryside and modernize the paper industry had on the social infrastructure and the organization of papermaking in Jiajiang. 演讲见 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w98_XW0WFuo
评分現在才認認真真讀完…太喜歡了 讀完之後 才後知後覺發現 自己受到的影響正在慢慢發酵
评分关于skill和deskilling的见解,非常有启发。
