How did ordinary people in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) deal with the demands of the state? In The Art of Being Governed, Michael Szonyi explores the myriad ways that families fulfilled their obligations to provide a soldier to the army. The complex strategies they developed to manage their responsibilities suggest a new interpretation of an important period in China's history as well as a broader theory of politics.
Using previously untapped sources, including lineage genealogies and internal family documents, Szonyi examines how soldiers and their families living on China's southeast coast minimized the costs and maximized the benefits of meeting government demands for manpower. Families that had to provide a soldier for the army set up elaborate rules to ensure their obligation was fulfilled, and to provide incentives for the soldier not to desert his post. People in the system found ways to gain advantages for themselves and their families. For example, naval officers used the military's protection to engage in the very piracy and smuggling they were supposed to suppress. Szonyi demonstrates through firsthand accounts how subjects of the Ming state operated in a space between defiance and compliance, and how paying attention to this middle ground can help us better understand not only Ming China but also other periods and places.

读后感
如果“规训”（discipline）之网确实处处变得更加清晰、将更多人牢牢套住，那么对以下问题的求索便显得愈加迫切：整个社会是如何反抗堕入此规训之网的？众人是通过哪些惯用的（亦即日常而“微不足道”的）手段操纵规训的机制，以求在顺从中加以规避？ 最后，又是怎样的“运作方...
评分为了确保军队维持在一定的规模，明朝实行了一项军户制度。简略地说，军户制度就是从民户中选出一部分定为军户，要求每个军户必须保证任何时候始终提供一名士兵在军队服役。如果在服役的士兵病死、战死或出现其他意外状况，对应的军户必须再提供一个新的男丁补充。这名正在服役...

评分平素读书，喜好读史，以明心智。年轻时候，眼高气盛，喜欢读“大历史”：史记汉书、资治通鉴、人物传记、诸子原典……沉浸于上下五千年的滔滔长河，纵揽风云际会的胸胆开张，读得久了，也会做青史留名的梦，幻想自己也能像历史上的贤才名将似的建一番功业。然而，我们中的绝大...

理论受影响于福柯的governmentality, James Scott的<The Art of Not Being Governed>还有再地化。其实一直觉得everyday politics本身就是一个用来挑战福柯非常好用的概念。
评分从如此小且冷门的角度切入明史，所探讨的问题却是明朝根本的军事制度问题，且讨论了平民与国家之间互动，并利用这种互动，让自己的利益最大化。老百姓虽是被统治的对象，却在互动中并非被动的一方，其中可操作可主导的空间很大。作者还进一步论证了民间应对策略的问题，这些策略直至今天仍在中国民间与国家的关系中起着作用。
评分我磕磕绊绊读完然后战战兢兢打个四星。虽然很多anecdote很通俗接地气，但行文毕竟非常学术，偶尔觉得dry. 中国人民与天斗与官斗的智慧并不会surprise我，但作者的格局更高，只恨我没有社会学或者历史研究的理论基础，没法dive deep了。母上大人不知道看了矮大紧哪个节目后给我强烈推荐这本书，我觉得她自己不一定能读进去...
评分非常好，尤其是书写策略。
评分小切口历史人类学。从家谱民间叙述和documents中重建明代军户制度的原貌。细致有趣。作者从none-structural perspective挖掘被统治者如何maximize family interest和整体解构进行互动，顺带讲了明代海上贸易与军户“倭寇”间的复杂关系，以及屯戍制度与土地流转的张力。Impressive story telling!
