Anne Allison is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. She is the author of Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination; Permitted and Prohibited Desires: Mothers, Comics, and Censorship in Japan; and Nightwork: Sexuality, Pleasure, and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess Club and a coeditor of the journal Cultural Anthropology.
In an era of irregular labor, nagging recession, nuclear contamination, and a shrinking population, Japan is facing precarious times. How the Japanese experience insecurity in their daily and social lives is the subject of Precarious Japan. Tacking between the structural conditions of socioeconomic life and the ways people are making do, or not, Anne Allison chronicles the loss of home affecting many Japanese, not only in the literal sense but also in the figurative sense of not belonging. Until the collapse of Japan's economic bubble in 1991, lifelong employment and a secure income were within reach of most Japanese men, enabling them to maintain their families in a comfortable middle-class lifestyle. Now, as fewer and fewer people are able to find full-time work, hope turns to hopelessness and security gives way to a pervasive unease. Yet some Japanese are getting by, partly by reconceiving notions of home, family, and togetherness.

刚看完前三章,里面除了一段短暂的作者去一个ngo的见闻(走马观花的)之外,剩下都是分析新闻报道,或者是什么日本人的出版的回忆录,会议记录,纪录片。感觉这样的话我也能拼凑出来一个precarious China。我们中国的蚁族,北漂很多啊,上街砍人的报道也不少,相关纪录片也能数出一大堆。现在人类学著作都兴这么写嘛?田野去哪儿了?
评分根据Judith butler 对grievability的讨论基础上衍生出对precarity的思考。整本书很有意思也是学术书籍中少见的接地气,但是田野有限或者说田野扩展度太高,感觉scope无边界啊
评分看的时候一直感慨“霓虹????”...不过把新闻报道和统计资料并置的叙事让人觉得分析力度不够,结论也显得可疑。但这是作者关于日本的第三本书......大概...随意了吧...
评分my favourite book!!!!!!!
评分资料很散~漫~但很有启发性~care,home,hope
