<DIV>In China today, sex work cannot be untangled from the phenomenon of rural-urban migration, the entertainment industry, and state power. In Red Lights, Tiantian Zheng highlights the urban karaoke bar as the locus at which these three factors intersect and provides a rich account of the lives of karaoke hostesses—a career whose name disguises the sex work and minimizes the surprising influence these women often have as power brokers.
Zheng embarked on two years of intensely embedded ethnographic fieldwork in her birthplace, Dalian, a large northeastern Chinese seaport of over six million people. During this time, Zheng lived and worked with a group of hostesses in a karaoke bar, facing many of the same dangers that they did and forming strong, intimate bonds with them. The result is an especially engaging, moving story of young, rural women struggling to find meaning, develop a modern and autonomous identity, and, ultimately, survive within an oppressively patriarchal state system.
Moving from her case studies to broader theories of sex, gender, and power, Zheng connects a growth in capitalist entrepreneurialism to the emergence of an urban sex industry, brilliantly illuminating the ways in which hostesses, their clients, and the state are mutually created in postsocialist China.

评分总体而言，这本书的价值在民族志叙事（十几二十年前的状况），但分析解释和理论部分并不怎么样。所以主要看里面的叙事和故事就好，当然一些撕逼和爱恨情仇点还是很有趣的。另外觉得作者在写书时其实在转嫁自己情感。作者似乎想把性工作者描述成了同男权与不公正的社会做...

It really gives me a much clearer idea of what the karaoke bar in Dalian is like. This is an eye-opening book. The experience of the author is also very interesting. Check it out.
评分三星半，主要看素材，和同类话题的《dealing in desire》比起来差太多

评分2.5 田野做的很大胆，很用心。读着这些爱恨情仇男男女女那点儿事儿又心酸又过瘾的。但是理论部分实在是一言难尽。把“公粮”和“精”这两个概念与国家-家庭（妻子）做一个对比分析从而得出男性出去找小姐是找回男性气质的一种体现（？？？）这样的结论 真的是哭笑不得。
评分三星全给ethnography的部分，这个田野做的是下了血本的，勇气可嘉，只是阐释和理论部分实在不敢恭维，白白糟蹋了好故事。
