Jacob Eyferth is Associate Professor of Modern Chinese History in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, the Department of History, and the College, University of Chicago.
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.

評分很多技術史著作有著濃重的功能主義色彩。本書前幾章描繪四川夾江縣造紙地區,洋洋灑灑援引人口、土地、作坊、産量、分工的數據,簡而言之造紙業是當地社會經濟的一個有機部分,技術和傢庭、村落結構、kinship密不可分。鄉村社會自成係統,特殊的手工業雖非男耕女織,但也可以吸...
評分這是一部描述四川農村手工造紙技藝20世紀社會變遷史的著作。該村落地處成都與樂山之間的夾江縣。作者是艾約博(Jacob Eyferth,1962-),美國芝加哥大學中國現代史專業副教授,東亞語言文明係係主任。該書獲得2011年度美國亞洲研究學會的“列文森奬”。 這種小範圍的實地考察...
圖書標籤: 海外中國研究 社會史 技術史 農村 手工業 人類學 文化史 曆史
變遷類上乘作品,傳統VS現代經典命題,機器化大生産和手工業並非替代關係,但前者一定是後者的敵人。
評分稍微有點虎頭蛇尾,不過民國那幾章與結論都寫的蠻好的。

評分現在纔認認真真讀完…太喜歡瞭 讀完之後 纔後知後覺發現 自己受到的影響正在慢慢發酵
評分四川夾江竹紙業的例子在多大程度上可以generalize?放到整個農村小工業中如何理解?
