the second time of english reading session the author told a good.story about the military institution in the Ming dynasty. the art of not being governed by Scott,what's the difference? being away from government or wielding the legal world weapons focus on the important content !
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...
评分学术也是arbitrage的艺术……
评分1)英文本剛出版的時候就買了,但一直放在書架上沒打開來過。現在中譯本也已經出了,還是老老實實拿來讀一遍吧;2)本書在學術上的貢獻,中譯本條目下薩博·羅薩博士(Dr. Sub Rosa XD...)的短評已經寫得很清楚了。我相信,對明清史,尤其是明清社會經濟史和法制史,以及華南研究有了解的朋友,應該是很能夠進入本書的脈絡的。其實Szonyi講的東西並不難,但值得注意的是,他用了怎樣的理論架構以及敘述脈絡,串起一些既有的研究,然後把故事講得清楚,說得精彩;3)關於「套利」,可以讀一讀宮崎廣和(Hirokazu Miyazaki)的Arbitraging Japan;4)突然發現宋怡明的三本書我都讀過,講金門的依稀還有印象,第一本Practicing Kinship已經完全不知道講的是啥了。。。
评分有点意思
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.
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...
