高開低走!作者好奇心和耐心都欠缺
評分2.5星。一開始看是因為田野地點在成都讓我覺得好奇。前麵introduction寫得還挺有意思,談到性彆關係是作為new rich 焦慮的manifestation,但是這一點在後文論述並不足。真正涉及到性彆的隻有第五章。越到後文越有一種隻是在記錄軼事的潦草感。分析都是比較錶麵性的。最後結論來一個稍微結構性的批評還是說中國集權體製如何如何。理想讀者群自然不是我這樣的局內人。不過2013年齣版,裏麵都是零幾年的材料時效性方麵感覺還是做得不太好啊。前兩章讀一讀就差不多瞭。
評分我為什麼覺得他寫得很囉嗦啊,被指定的章節沒有覺得看得很inspiring! 感覺民族誌part寫得確實寫得不錯,因為作為一個外國人的視角來的容易一些。看到他寫自己齣現在那些場閤,是作為國際友人撐場麵的需要時笑瞭: 這樣的事情太多瞭,都已經成瞭外國人在中國的外匯之一瞭好吧。
評分讀瞭一、二、六章
評分上課用。田野在成都做的,剛看到他說作為外國友人撐場麵就笑噴瞭...還看到瞭熟悉的“勾兌”...這傢夥是不是連四川話都學會瞭
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.
花了近一个月的时间看完了这本书,读完才发现原来在身边习以为常的明/潜规则的成因是这样复杂隐晦又因国情而独特。官僚、商人、服务性行业从业者各有各的光鲜及苦衷,抱着各自的目的,结自己的关系网,用或卑劣或或精妙的手段追寻荣华富贵。 书中让我深有感触的还是女性的不易...
