Ya-Wen Lei is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and an affiliate of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.
Since the mid-2000s, public opinion and debate in China have become increasingly common and consequential, despite the ongoing censorship of speech and regulation of civil society. How did this happen? In The Contentious Public Sphere, Ya-Wen Lei shows how the Chinese state drew on law, the media, and the Internet to further an authoritarian project of modernization, but in so doing, inadvertently created a nationwide public sphere in China—one the state must now endeavor to control. Lei examines the influence this unruly sphere has had on Chinese politics and the ways that the state has responded.
Using interviews, newspaper articles, online texts, official documents, and national surveys, Lei shows that the development of the public sphere in China has provided an unprecedented forum for citizens to influence the public agenda, demand accountability from the government, and organize around the concepts of law and rights. She demonstrates how citizens came to understand themselves as legal subjects, how legal and media professionals began to collaborate in unexpected ways, and how existing conditions of political and economic fragmentation created unintended opportunities for political critique, particularly with the rise of the Internet. The emergence of this public sphere—and its uncertain future—is a pressing issue with important implications for the political prospects of the Chinese people.
Investigating how individuals learn to use public discourse to influence politics, The Contentious Public Sphere offers new possibilities for thinking about the transformation of state-society relations.

写作方式实在是太死板了。。。
评分恍如隔世。感觉写区域研究的论文,要么得对区域本身有新的洞见。要么,好点得把区域案例给贡献新的理解,差点至少得用英语学科内部能懂的语言给解释案例;我感觉本书属于最后一种,读起来有时候感觉细节很多,像一个narrative,但是没有分析,北上广三地的媒体生态差异完全被简化成了地理位置和权力中心的远近;法律行业和记者的联手仿佛仅仅是时间的作用:恰巧形成了法律行业,然后就和记者联手了(原文讲的复杂一些,就说是市场化加上国家普法需求,使得这两拨人遇到一起)。
评分朋友,你這本書寫的讓我很難相信你是哈佛畢業的……划水也要講究基本法吧……
评分“政治问题法律化”研究媒介问题一例,官方与民间在bypassing the law上倒是出奇的默契——作者应该多看一些威权国家的案例
评分将70s末以来新闻媒体市场化职业化与法律职业化进进程关联。国家对法律工具主义的运用,使得法制宣传和权利保护之间差距极大。力道体现在民众高昂的权利意识在网络空间中如何表达并受到控制。作者归纳了中国特色法治体现为:基本权利保障,广泛法制宣传,法律作为社会交往媒介与民众因此而较高的法治意识与权利期待。值得思考的是,诚如作者分析国家体体制具有高度调适性也因此陷入治理碎片化,那么法律/治是加剧还是抵消了这一趋势?一切经验素材,让从初中以来的生活历历在目。往事并不如烟,但实难回味。
