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!
评分终于读完了!我本人对第3章更感兴趣,但还是有点值得商榷的地方,另外抓到注释里引用文献的typo啦。第5、6章实在是太累了就摸鱼了,不过有时候用英文看对家谱文本本身的描述很容易找不到北,可能是我英文太菜了吧。anyway非常值得一看。P.S.大陆版一定会被censor这个跑不了。
评分The conversation with James Scott is interesting. Not sure if I like the engagement with Foucault.
评分理论一团糟,但是有重要的介入
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...
Michael Szonyi is professor of Chinese history and director of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. His books include Practicing Kinship: Lineage and Descent in Late Imperial China and Cold War Island: Quemoy on the Front Line.
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.

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...
评分我完全不认为此书属于华南学派或历史人类学的著作,这本书的基本关照/研究侧重都与华南学派大相径庭,信仰和历史结构的形成都不是其考虑的对象。此书就是典型的制度史著作,只不过作者在考察阶段借鉴了历史人类学的方法,又与华南学派关系较为紧密而已。这样“活的制度史”对于...
评分翻了翻笔记,从1月29号开始看,每天从写志的时间中抽出约一个小时阅读,到3月20日正式读完。收获不小。本书可以笼统概括为“上有政策下有对策”的研究,但若是仔细探究又会觉得这种概括太过于简略而忽略了很多细节。要完整概述本书主题不容易:在明代军事制度下,民众是如何应...
