In "Nightwork", Anne Allison opens a window onto Japanese corporate culture and gender identities. Allison performed the ritualized tasks of a hostess in one of Tokyo's many "hostess clubs": pouring drinks, lighting cigarettes, and making flattering or titillating conversation with the businessmen who came there on company expense accounts. Her book critically examines how such establishments create bonds among white-collar men and forge a masculine identity that suits the needs of their corporations. Allison describes in detail a typical company-outing to such a club - what the men do, how they interact with the hostesses, the role the hostess is expected to play, and the extent to which all of this involves "play" rather than "work." Unlike previous books on Japanese nightlife, Allison's ethnography of one specific hostess club (here referred to as "Bijo") views the general phenomenon from the eyes of a woman, hostess and feminist anthropologist. Observing that clubs like "Bijo" further a kind of masculinity dependent on the gestures and labours of women, Allison seeks to uncover connections between such behaviour and other social, economic, sexual and gendered relations. She argues that Japanese corporate nightlife enables and institutionalizes a particular form of ritualized male dominance: in paying for this entertainment, Japanese corporations not only give their male workers a self-image as phallic man, but also develop relationships to work that are unconditional and unbreakable. This is a book that should appeal to anyone interested in gender roles or in contemporary Japanese society.

寫得好亂啊，又超愛套理論（我的未來嗎？）。。讀的時候一直想到米倉涼子演的媽媽桑。有價值的部分是把性放到瞭公司體製下，但是今天的日本還是這樣嗎？
评分wordy and repetitive
评分上個世紀的人類學果然喜歡用文學理論lol，全文可能看到瞭無數次的barthes和haug，然而竟然沒有over-cite freud?!!!
评分女性在日本的地位實在堪憂。對於去hostess club是男性工作的一部分不理解但能接受，可是男性對傢庭的疏離感實在是太糟糕瞭。為瞭”成功“，在工作崗位上隻能做透明人忍氣吞聲，而傢又隻是個沒地方去纔迴去睡個覺的地方，並非是個舒適的港灣。這樣的生活，到底是為瞭什麼
评分超好看！
