For seven years in the 1970s, the author lived in a village in northeast China as an ordinary farmer. In 1989, he returned to the village as an anthropologist to begin the unparalleled span of eleven years’ fieldwork that has resulted in this book―a comprehensive, vivid, and nuanced account of family change and the transformation of private life in rural China from 1949 to 1999. The author’s focus on the personal and the emotional sets this book apart from most studies of the Chinese family. Yan explores private lives to examine areas of family life that have been largely overlooked, such as emotion, desire, intimacy, privacy, conjugality, and individuality. He concludes that the past five decades have witnessed a dual transformation of private life: the rise of the private family, within which the private lives of individual women and men are thriving.
Yunxiang Yan is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Adjunct Professor in the School of Public Policy and Social Development, Fudan University, China. He is the author of Te Flow of Gifts: Reciprocity and Social Networks in a Chinese Village (Stanford University Press, 1996), Private Life under Socialism: Love, Intimacy, and Family Change in a Chinese Village, 1949–1999 (Stanford University Press, 2003) and The Individualization of Chinese Society (Berg, 2009). His research interests include family and kinship, social change, the individual and individualization, and moral changes in post-Mao China.
3年前,我读完余华的《兄弟》下,难掩内心的失望,在个人空间上留下了这样一段话: “故事黑暗,充满了性和狂乱,这都没有关系,谁都知道现在就算不是一个最坏的时代,也绝非天堂,人类正不可避免地走向堕落。但,难道余华你也仅仅看到了这些,并只能用一个‘伦理...

评分这本书两个目标,第一,驳斥中国文化没有男女间亲密关系(情感)的说法;第二,描述乡村家庭结构随着时间的变化(择偶,两性互动,空间私有化以及家庭结构),最后总结成由于国家力量和政策的关系造成了年轻一代世风日下、人心不古、物质主义的中国式个人主义。 第一个目...

英文版夹带了特别多的私货 呵呵
评分This is actually an inspiring book, especially his discussion on George Duby and Phillippe Aries. I find myself cite them all the time.
评分作者先做了一个天罗地网一样的理论框架,然后把自己的田野访谈summary往里面填。这其实也没啥,往远里说,黑格尔的历史哲学讲演录也是这个逻辑,一切学术研究都是这个逻辑。真正的问题倒是,如果呈现的是更“活生生”的ethnography与个人体验,而不只是作者自己的概括概括概括,可能更具打动人的力量。而现在的行文,明显有些dry。拖拉了几个礼拜才看完。不过直到读完最后一章,我还是觉得这是本好书。单是private field和public field的讨论,就可以让读者回想起比如Arendt等人曾经讨论过的很多经典问题。究竟何为个体,何为自由,何为the human condition?等等吧。
评分目前来说,起码出发点是令人感到启发的。反思西方学界的bias从而发起一个新的研究,为我提供了一种思路。//一本充满了关怀的具有重要学术意义的开创性的个人为中心的民族志。
评分又重读。。
