Few recent phenomena have proved as emblematic of our era, and as little understood, as globalisation. Are nation-states being transformed by globalisation into a single globalised economy? Do global cultural forces herald a postnational millennium? Tying ethnography to structural analysis, "Flexible Citizenship" explores such questions with a focus on the links between the cultural logics of human action and on economic and political processes within the Asia-Pacific, including the impact of these forces on women and family life.Explaining how intensified travel, communications, and mass media have created a trans-national Chinese public, Aihwa Ong argues that previous studies have mistakenly viewed trans-nationality as necessarily detrimental to the nation-state and have ignored individual agency in the large-scale flow of people, images, and cultural forces across borders. She describes how political upheavals and global markets have induced Asian investors, in particular, to blend strategies of migration and of capital accumulation and how these trans-national subjects have come to symbolise both the fluidity of capital and the tension between national and personal identities.Refuting claims about the end of the nation-state and about 'the clash of civilizations', Ong presents a clear account of the cultural logics of globalisation and an incisive contribution to the anthropology of Asia-Pacific modernity and its links to global social change. This pioneering investigation of trans-national cultural forms will appeal to those in anthropology, globalisation studies, postcolonial studies, history, Asian studies, Marxist theory, and cultural studies.

#77 在王的著作裏, transnational capitalism總是一個impose其他因素上的autonomous area, 這導緻瞭三個governmentalities的局限, 尤其是對governmentality of state定義的局限.
评分寫作好差,吐槽無力。囉裏八嗦。木有中心。木有“民族誌”。泛泛而談。沒有深入。好吧,開頭那章理論篇還是有點用的。雖然今日看來也不新瞭呢=。=
评分有點兒ranting/rambling,理論上不太solid,otherwise pretty good,brings me back to the 90s and early 00s

评分章節之間邏輯很散漫。除瞭Intro有比較係統的對transnationalism的文獻梳理比較有幫助之外,無他= =
