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.

上个学期社会学课上的老教授超喜欢韦伯。他喜欢韦伯在新教伦理里的想法,他说他希望有人证明能它,因为他喜欢这个理论。但是他也说,最近的社会学,大家都在问“你怎么证明这个”之类的问题,却没有人写出比韦伯涂尔干更深刻的思想。 教授说这话之前我读了斯科特的《国家的视...

从序言就可以很明确的看出,斯科特希望改变的是长期以来对于东南亚历史和政治关系的民族国家话语式的理解,他引入了van Schendel所提出的Zomia概念,认为整个东南亚地区的山地-谷地模式以及多如牛毛的族群并不是一个单纯的纵向关系,也不是序列性的进化发展关系,而是一种互生...

(《云南社会科学》2019年第三期) | 王晓毅 如果将社会发展看做一个简单的线性发展过程,山地社会往往被看做是落后的,并被认为会在先进文明的影响下,逐步发展起来。但是斯科特在《逃避统治的艺术》一书中,构建了与这种想象不同的山地文明,山地为山地居民提供了保护,从而...

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...

观点蛮讨喜,但是结构和论证,我是真的不太喜欢……

逃离国家——逃离的是臣民的身份,而不是与国家的关系。实际上,山民一直在寻找与国家的适当关系,才能让自己生存下来。

英文语句个人觉得写得有点艰涩和绕口,看着有点困难。

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。
