Weapons of the Weak is an ethnography by James C. Scott that studies the effects of the Green Revolution in rural Malaysia. One of the main objectives of the study is to make an argument that the Marxian and Gramscian ideas of false consciousness and hegemony are incorrect. He develops this conclusion throughout the book, through the different scenarios and characters that come up during his time of fieldwork in the village. This publication, based on 2 years of fieldwork (1978-1980), focuses on the local class relations in a small rice farming community of 70 households in the main paddy-growing area of Kedah in Malaysia. Introduction of the Green Revolution in 1976 eliminated 2/3 of the wage-earning opportunities for smallholders and landless laborers. The main ensuing class struggle is analyzed being the ideological struggle in the village and the practice of resistance itself consisting of: foot-dragging, dissimulation, desertion, false compliance, pilfering, feigned ignorance and sabotage acts. Rich and poor are engaged in an unremitting if silent struggle to define changes in land tenure, mechanization and employment to advance their own interests, and to use values that they share to control the distribution of status, land, work and grain.

草草翻完。 觉得中国土改和这本书中的农民反抗经验参差互见,都涉及到了农民主体的问题,值得再次细读。对70年代美国农民革命研究值得继续涉猎。 现有几笔偶得,匆匆写下。1,Weapons of the weak当然应该翻译成弱者的武器,不过我以为这里的复数是重要的。正是这里的复数,契...

评分黄湘 说到资本主义对传统乡村社会的破坏,马克思曾在《资本论》里做过如下论断:“新被解放 的人只有在他们被剥夺了一切生产资料和旧封建制度给予他们的一切生存保障之后,才能成为他们自身的出卖者,而对他们的这种剥夺的历史是用血和火的文字载入人类编年史的。”可以说,...

评分沉着等待,微权利的一种乡野观察。
评分“Everyday forms of peasant resistance”这个解释真的有意义吗?我的质疑来自三个方面。第一,农民的Weapons of the Weak到底与其他社会生活中出现的各种各样的类似现象有着什么样的区别?还是说,作者只想描述一种现象,而并非想要提出一种有边界的理论。第二,Weapons of the Weak这个现象真的足够政治吗?或者说,这个现象在政治上有意义吗?把它们解释成为阶级的反抗,这似乎才是真地强加给了农民一种虚假意识。第三,弱者真的拥有武器吗?这个武器对统治者产生的威胁是真的具有挑战性吗?Weapons of the Weak能够产生可置信的威胁吗?
评分"euphemization of economic power," critics of hegemony, resistance/conflicts within hegemony, inevitability does not equal legitimacy, interesting talk on the concentration camp (homo sacer?), hegemony gives raw materials of resistance, utopia as negation of the present, ANARCHISM not liberalism (ambition/vaguard party is not required), etc.
评分在当时潮流中此书可谓挑战三种进路:在强国家/发展国家理论和数据对比流行时它强调国家政策对偏远农村地区的日常影响;在比较历史学者从二手著作材料中提炼理论时它基于实地田野;最重要的是在马主义学者或仍从生产模式去推断阶级关系和行为、或追随葛兰西文化霸权论时,它提出阶级关系需在社会情景中考察,文化霸权不排斥柔性抗拒。资本主义在国家机器主导下的扩展威胁农村传统社会纽带和日常生活模式,农民作为弱者只能在缝隙中将小打小闹言行日常化,战略性抵制经济威胁、夺还部分利益、保存社会传统话语对富人的威胁力和对自己的认同。然作者总体其实很悲观,认为弱者武器的话语体系是在缺少革命或激进反抗开口的情景下,终究要牺牲阶级在表面接受生产模式后和国家/优势阶级的暂时均衡;且弱者武器在抵御富人同时又贬斥自己阶级内的边缘分子。
