Li Zhang is a professor of anthropology at the University of California-Davis and a 2008 Guggenheim fellow. Her research concerns the cultural, spatial, and psychological repercussions of market reforms and postsocialist transformations in China. Her first book, Strangers in the City: Reconfigurations of Space, Power, and Social Networks within China's Floating Population (Stanford 2001), traces the reconfigurations of space, power, and social networks within China's "floating population" under late socialism and globalization. Her recently published book, In Search of Paradise: Middle Class Living in a Chinese Metropolis (Cornell 2010), examines how the rise of private home ownership reshapes class-specific subjects, urban space, and postsocialist governing. She has also co-edited a volume with Aihwa Ong, Privatizing China, Socialism from Afar (Cornell), which explores how technologies of privatization and neoliberalism articulate with diverse areas of life and politics in China. Her current new research project explores what she calls the "inner revolution" brought by an emerging psychological counseling movement in the cities and how it reshapes Chinese people's understandings of selfhood, emotions, happiness, and well-being in the midst of rapid social change.
Everyday life in China is increasingly shaped by a novel mix of neoliberal and socialist elements, of individual choices and state objectives. This combination of self-determination and socialism from afar has incited profound changes in the ways individuals think and act in different spheres of society. Covering a vast range of daily life-from homeowner organizations and the users of Internet cafés to self-directed professionals and informed consumers-the essays in Privatizing China create a compelling picture of the burgeoning awareness of self-governing within the postsocialist context. The introduction by Aihwa Ong and Li Zhang presents assemblage as a concept for studying China as a unique postsocialist society created through interactions with global forms. The authors conduct their ethnographic fieldwork in a spectrum of domains-family, community, real estate, business, taxation, politics, labor, health, professions, religion, and consumption-that are infiltrated by new techniques of the self and yet also regulated by broader socialist norms. Privatizing China gives readers a grounded, fine-grained intimacy with the variety and complexity of everyday conduct in China's turbulent transformation.

Nacy Chen寫的什麼鬼,太失望瞭,搞點關於醫藥和健康的信息(注意是信息!而不是田野材料),加上點兒理論bare life雲雲,草就這一篇是何苦呢。Ong的那篇倒是非常不錯,可讀性比前者不知道高到哪裏去瞭
评分人類學傢都不好好呈現和處理細節材料瞭,總想著用粗綫條敘事在預設的理論框架(governmentality)裏麵兜兜轉轉。如果能把governmentality的細節呈現齣來自然也好,但現實卻是隻是隨便攫取瞭一些缺乏微觀細節的事件隨意理論化瞭一下。
评分theoretical framework的推導正是我想要的,打破瞭西方批判新自由主義的陳詞濫調和局限性
评分新自由主義下的治理術視角,看的時候覺得在這些文章寫成的十多年後,二者帶來的撕裂使人感到更加痛苦瞭 更喜歡第二部分的內容一些
评分導論不錯。藉用福柯governmentality的框架,把“how one should live”這個問題放在“新自由主義”的語境下去考察,探究state在轉型過程中如何動員瞭“老百姓”的自我觀念。可以和閻雲翔之前的幾本書結閤著看。
