从一半的时候就在等这句"agents of fate ... were never beyond approach and negotiation"等到了倒数第三页的最后一句话,急死我了。第二章和最后一章最精彩。用词好难..
评分3.5 涉及到的面向十分之多 基本把近些年关于中国的人类学主题都汇总了一下。但感觉串起全书的线索 circulation of objects and things有点散,三个部分之间关联不是很大。semiotics的部分展开不够,基本上来源于Nancy Munn。有很多很有趣的观察都是点到为止,感觉可以更深入。 第二部分和第六章中telephone line和images的circulation,以及最后关于麻将的论述有趣。 第三第四章可以联系Ticktin那本讲法国移民的subject making部分,有很多相似之处。
评分一個有趣的出發點是「偷生」與「偷渡」的比較,戶口制度下的結構性劣勢和偷渡至美國的「生活在未來」似的嚮往。民族誌材料非常詳盡,很多有趣的討論。作者對於故事的敘述和章節的安排,顯然置入了很多巧思,但比較頭痛的是,作者這種「學霸掉書袋」似的將各種理論散佈在全書各處,並且各家理論點到即止絕不延伸討論的寫作模式,對讀者非常不友善(手動扶額????♀️)。頁79,所謂「偷生」不是"to steal a birth",應該是 stealthily/sneakingly to give a birth。同理,「偷渡」也不是 the stealing of passages.

评分终于在去她office hour前一晚翻阅了一遍
Julie Y. Chu is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Chicago.
Year after year a woman sits in her bare living quarters with her bags packed. She is waiting for a phone call from her snakehead, or human smuggler. That longed-for call will send her out her door, away from Fuzhou, China, on a perilous, illicit journey to the United States. Nothing diffuses the promise of an overseas destiny: neither the ever-increasing smuggling fee for successful travel nor her knowledge of the deadly risks in transit and the exploitative labor conditions abroad. The sense of imminent departure enchants her every move and overshadows the banalities of her present life. In this engrossing ethnographic account of how the Fuzhounese translate their desires for mobility into projects worth pursuing, Julie Y. Chu focuses on Fuzhounese efforts to recast their social horizons beyond the limitations of "peasant life" in China. Transcending utilitarian questions of risks and rewards, she considers the overflow of aspirations in the Fuzhounese pursuit of transnational destinations. Chu attends not just to the migration of bodies, but also to flows of shipping containers, planes, luggage, immigration papers, money, food, prayers, and gods. By analyzing the intersections and disjunctures of these various flows, she explains how mobility operates as a sign embodied through everyday encounters and in the transactions of persons and things.
