評分“勾兌”
評分“勾兌”
評分寫得還是相當不錯的,材料很豐富,對於中國語境下的術語和概念,理解得蠻精確的。將「新富」群體放在傳統的「關係」以及晚近的「ethics and morality」概念下談,齣發點蠻好的,但是整體的討論顯得非常散,不曉得為什麼。。。
評分作為一個從小在這種環境中長大的人,見多瞭聽多瞭各種事,還是覺得作者的描述實在太錶麵。為“關係”而講"關係"這樣的格局也實在太小。事實上這些關係同更大更重要的話題,諸如經濟運作等等都直接相關(不隻是賄賂問題)。另外作者似乎想把程度現象直接等同為中國,事實上地區差異也是明顯的,即便相似性也很明顯。至於女人和娛樂當做潤滑劑這種事情,學術圈也一樣。當年某外國教授給我說在中國時係領導們喜歡拉著去KTV然後一起嫖妓,他們覺得一起嫖過後就都是兄弟瞭。他和一些同事都遇到過這種事。當然,這種事情當然也得發生在比較有錢的係,那些窮係沒這錢來拉關係。那麼作者有沒有這麼搞過關係呢?想來也是有趣。
John Osburg is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Rochester.
Who exactly are China's new rich? This pioneering investigation introduces readers to the private lives—and the nightlives—of the powerful entrepreneurs and managers redefining success and status in the city of Chengdu. Over the course of more than three years, anthropologist John Osburg accompanied, and in some instances assisted, wealthy Chinese businessmen as they courted clients, partners, and government officials.
Drawing on his immersive experiences, Osburg invites readers to join him as he journeys through the new, highly gendered entertainment sites for Chinese businessmen, including karaoke clubs, saunas, and massage parlors—places specifically designed to cater to the desires and enjoyment of elite men. Within these spaces, a masculinization of business is taking place. Osburg details the complex code of behavior that governs businessmen as they go about banqueting, drinking, gambling, bribing, exchanging gifts, and obtaining sexual services.
These intricate social networks play a key role in generating business, performing social status, and reconfiguring gender roles. But many entrepreneurs feel trapped by their obligations and moral compromises in this evolving environment. Ultimately, Osburg examines their deep ambivalence about China's future and their own complicity in the major issues of post-Mao Chinese society—corruption, inequality, materialism, and loss of trust.
