西南研究不得不看。略读加精读,两天总算搞定,关于高地社会族群认同bandwidth的讨论非常有趣。
评分为了证明自己的观点而打造证据的痕迹太明显。
评分游戏而已……
评分mind-blowing but too 啰嗦
评分identities--a bandwidth of possibility for adjusting the relation of individuals to the state effect
James C. Scott is Sterling Professor of Political Science, professor of anthropology, and codirector of the Agrarian Studies Programme, Yale University, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
For two thousand years the disparate groups that now reside in Zomia (a mountainous region the size of Europe that consists of portions of seven Asian countries) have fled the projects of the organized state societies that surround them?slavery, conscription, taxes, corvée labor, epidemics, and warfare. This book, essentially an ?anarchist history,? is the first-ever examination of the huge literature on state-making whose author evaluates why people would deliberately and reactively remain stateless. Among the strategies employed by the people of Zomia to remain stateless are physical dispersion in rugged terrain; agricultural practices that enhance mobility; pliable ethnic identities; devotion to prophetic, millenarian leaders; and maintenance of a largely oral culture that allows them to reinvent their histories and genealogies as they move between and around states.
In accessible language, James Scott, recognized worldwide as an eminent authority in Southeast Asian, peasant, and agrarian studies, tells the story of the peoples of Zomia and their unlikely odyssey in search of self-determination. He redefines our views on Asian politics, history, demographics, and even our fundamental ideas about what constitutes civilization, and challenges us with a radically different approach to history that presents events from the perspective of stateless peoples and redefines state-making as a form of ?internal colonialism.? This new perspective requires a radical reevaluation of the civilizational narratives of the lowland states. Scott?s work on Zomia represents a new way to think of area studies that will be applicable to other runaway, fugitive, and marooned communities, be they Gypsies, Cossacks, tribes fleeing slave raiders, Marsh Arabs, or San-Bushmen.
作者探究的对象是包括中国西南在内的所谓赞米亚高地,读来很亲切,也很有启迪性。书中涉及到了史学(政治史、边疆史、民族史、经济史)、人类学、社会学等多个方面,内容十分丰富。这书的翻译真心不错,读起来轻松,不别扭。我同时也购过作者所著的上海译林版的《农民的道义经...
评分(《云南社会科学》2019年第三期) 一 引言 布罗代尔曾批评道:“长期以来,历史学家总是对平原流连忘返,而不愿意进入附近的高山。”[1]与历史学境况不同,山地是人类学家时常光顾的田野。晚年费孝通行行重行行,武夷山、南岭、凉山、武陵山等南方山区都留下了他的足迹。他将...
评分解构极端现代主义:从前现代国家发展中寻求启发:以人民的名义来反对个人,以程式化、扭曲化、精确静止的理念实现独裁统治。而这些理念背后反映出的统治者试图以极具说服力的现代工具和社会欲望为诱饵,强加于人民权威意识形态的行为,其实在无政府主义的抗争中就已经被解构了...
评分斯科特已经开辟出了“zomia”的新的区域研究范式,对于大陆东南亚和中国西南研究来说应该也是一本必读书目吧。该书内容繁复,资料芜杂,让一位对东南亚几乎不甚了解的农村研究学者来翻译,错误也是一大堆,维舟老师已经在其书评下作出了很多勘误,很期待能读到台湾的译本,不知...
