high modernism的出处
评分Maggie安利,翻了翻
评分论点非常简单的一本书,high modernism vs local knowledge,legibility vs opacity,主要读了俄国革命和苏联集体化的部分,有点意犹未尽。

James C. Scott is the Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science and Anthropology at Yale University and current president of the Association of Asian Studies. He is the author of Weapons of the Weak: Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance, Domination and the Arts of Resistance: Hidden Transcripts, and The Moral Economy of the Peasant: Rebellion and Subsistence in Southeast Asia, all published by Yale University Press.
Compulsory ujamaa villages in Tanzania, collectivization in Russia, Le Corbusier's urban planning theory realized in Brasilia, the Great Leap Forward in China, agricultural "modernization" in the Tropics -- the twentieth century has been racked by grand utopian schemes that have inadvertently brought death and disruption to millions. Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? In this wide-ranging and original book, James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not -- and cannot -- be fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge. The author builds a persuasive case against "development theory" and imperialistic state planning that disregards the values, desires, and objections of its subjects. He identifies and discusses four conditions common to all planning disasters: administrative ordering of nature and society by the state; a "high-modernist ideology" that places confidence in the ability of science to improve every aspect of human life; a willingness to use authoritarian state power to effect large-scale interventions; and a prostrate civil society that cannot effectively resist such plans. "A broad-ranging, theoretically important, and empirically grounded treatment of the modern state and its propensity to simplify and make legible a society which by nature is complex and opaque. For anyone interested inlearning about this fundamental tension of modernity and about the destruction wrought in the twentieth century as a consequence of the dominant development ideology of the simplifying state, this is a must-read". -- Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, author of Hitler's Willing Executioners
这本书很有名,太有名了,但是我认真读之前没想到他竟然是这么坚定的无政府主义。 这本书前前后后批评了一大堆看上去没什么关联的东西,但是总起来看,其实就是批评了两件事,一是“认识论知识”或者说规范的正式知识的拥有者(也就是科学家们)对这些知识的盲目信任和对metis...
评分先从从林业、赋税、土地制度、度量衡、姓氏、城市规划、革命、集体农业的具体案例谈大型规划中的极端现代主义,然后回到认识论谈地方性知识/实践知识。 如书名所说,确实是“国家的视角”,主要从剖析规划者为什么以及如何执迷于清晰化和规整化,但Scott其实也有讲不少来自“规...
评分 评分原文:http://hutianyi.net/?p=2338 所有看到我iPod Touch界面的人都会惊讶: 主界面(左图)上一个App都没有,所有36个App都被分成3组安放在dock上,每组中的12个App的排列方式(右图)实际上也是经过反复进行揣摩的。例如第一排的四个排列方式很大程度上是因为“路径依赖”...
评分读《国家的视角》后 耶鲁大学的政治学和人类学教授James C.Scott的《国家的视角》一书,曾在十多年前被同事、同仁屡屡提起,彼时我还是一个NGO(公益组织)的一名专职员工,然而直到如今我才把这本书读完。读完之后,也刚好应了那句话:知识与实践刚好相结合起来。作为曾经在NG...
