有意思的书,特别是关于科学教育
评分很有趣的角度,做term paper扫了四章,有时间会重读
评分一部Paleoanthropology在现代中国的历史。这一看似偏僻的学科在中国现代史中的重要地位,来自国族构造中树立祖先,以及共产主义的阶级革命之“劳动创造人”论述的政治需要。除了讨论这一学科知识的政治性,作者还讨论了共产主义体制下(四十年代至七十年代末)“科学普及”到“群众路线科学”诸运动中国家、科学家、群众诸角色的互动角力。本书另外一个有趣的线索是关于“野人”,这一位于科学/迷信/伪科学边界的形象,在不同时期都承载了这几个领域的边界在政治经济境况下滑动挪移的张力。

评分Schmalzer真是战斗力爆表啊,今年又出了专著讲农业革命,图书馆刚到货已经2个hold了...Umass在科学议题上也是战斗机,难道是因为靠近MIT?有定期的SF club真诱人(跑题了..)重点看了50s的科普和群众科学运动的冲突,“龙骨”与“化石”的辩证关系和词汇选择很耐人寻味。群众科学与迷信之间的移动界定同样意味深长。
Peking Man”, discovered in the 1920s by an international team of scientists and miners, was deemed powerful evidence of human evolution. After the communist revolution of 1949, Peking Man also became Exhibit A in the movement to bring science to the masses. Even Mao's populist commitment to mass participation in science, however, could not erase the capacity of popular culture - represented most strikingly in legends about the Bigfoot-like Wild Man - to reshape ideas about human nature.
In this elegant and persuasive account of paleo-anthropologic development in China, Sigrid Schmalzer rewrites our understanding of the relationship between Chinese social, scientific and political cultures. She shows the ways that the emergence of the modern Chinese state rested on both scientific developments in the area of paleo-anthropology, and the ways that they were deployed to combat long-standing popular superstitions in service of new political realities. Her book successfully places Darwinian concepts in the context of popular political history and the developing Chinese nation-state, and thereby makes a valuable contribution to the knowledge and development of the human sciences in China and beyond.
