对文化批评理论和经典劳动/生产理论的一个翻转,在商品化的过程中族群性和身份认同得到一种(再)建构/确认(关联:产权,lawfare,新自由主义下的政治-经济与生命主体)。现代始终悬宕的主体性在生产/消费的一刻得到暂时的确定性,所以authenticity就不再是要去探究其真假的东西啦。——联系到当下中国的话应该是种种”地方性Inc.“吧。
评分过度玩弄概念和词藻就不好了
评分不仅族群被商品化了,族群理论也被商品化了。
评分what incorporation of identity plays by the rise of neoliberal capitalism. 动因不同,呈现也不同.不明白comaroff两点,为什么一直有一个collective mindset?为啥能人话说明白的事儿一定要拽词儿?希望是读的最后一本他的书了.

In Ethnicity, Inc. anthropologists John L. and Jean Comaroff analyze a new moment in the history of human identity: its rampant commodification. Through a wide-ranging exploration of the changing relationship between culture and the market, they address a pressing question: Wherein lies the future of ethnicity?
Their account begins in South Africa, with the incorporation of an ethno-business in venture capital by a group of traditional African chiefs. But their horizons are global: Native American casinos; Scotland’s efforts to brand itself; a Zulu ethno-theme park named Shakaland; a world religion declared to be intellectual property; a chiefdom made into a global business by means of its platinum holdings; San “Bushmen” with patent rights potentially worth millions of dollars; nations acting as commercial enterprises; and the rapid growth of marketing firms that target specific ethnic populations are just some of the diverse examples that fall under the Comaroffs’ incisive scrutiny. These phenomena range from the disturbing through the intriguing to the absurd. Through them, the Comaroffs trace the contradictory effects of neoliberalism as it transforms identities and social being across the globe.
Ethnicity, Inc. is a penetrating account of the ways in which ethnic populations are remaking themselves in the image of the corporation—while corporations coopt ethnic practices to open up new markets and regimes of consumption. Intellectually rigorous but leavened with wit, this is a powerful, highly original portrayal of a new world being born in a tectonic collision of culture, capitalism, and identity.
