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。
评分理论一团糟,但是有重要的介入
评分以小见大的又一范本。从军户在不同circumstances的生存智慧出发,结合“everyday politics”的概念,对明朝历史的一些既有理解提出挑战或做出修正(contract,lineage,withdrawal of the state,commercial revolution)。Conclusion显示野心,尝试归纳一般意义上premodern state中state-society relations的特点(regulatory arbitrage),最后对Mitchell “state effect”的概念进行升华,提出“premodern state effect"的概念,即the presence of state是地方统治的必要资源和一些社会现象的源头。
评分继承了传统汉学见微知著的特点,从微观研究中探讨基本的「国家-社会」的宏大问题,在如今的美国中国史研究中显得尤为难得。太久没读明代研究,感觉还是那么熟悉。
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!
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.
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 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...
