全球化、他者、劳工、性别、权力
评分从人类学和社会学的角度看重庆大厦,提出了很有趣的low-end globalization观点,全世界都有ghetto,但只有它是一座大厦。
评分车轱辘话有点多,但内容还是具有启发性。主要是受不了有些时候过于主观过于票友的段落
评分全球化、他者、劳工、性别、权力
评分实在是欣赏不来这种提供视角而非问题的民族志。感觉复古到boas时代了→_→
Gordon Mathews is professor of anthropology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the author of Global Culture/ Individual Identity: Searching for Home in the Cultural Supermarket and What Makes Life Worth Living? How Japanese and Americans Make Sense of Their Worlds, coauthor of Hong Kong, China: Learning to Belong to a Nation, and coeditor of several books.
There is nowhere else in the world quite like Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong’s tourist district. A remarkably motley group of people call the building home; Pakistani phone stall operators, Chinese guesthouse workers, Nepalese heroin addicts, Indonesian sex workers, and traders and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there—even backpacking tourists rent rooms. In short, it is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet.
But as Ghetto at the Center of the World shows us, a trip to Chungking Mansions reveals a far less glamorous side of globalization. A world away from the gleaming headquarters of multinational corporations, Chungking Mansions is emblematic of the way globalization actually works for most of the world’s people. Gordon Mathews’s intimate portrayal of the building’s polyethnic residents lays bare their intricate connections to the international circulation of goods, money, and ideas. We come to understand the day-to-day realities of globalization through the stories of entrepreneurs from Africa carting cell phones in their luggage to sell back home and temporary workers from South Asia struggling to earn money to bring to their families. And we see that this so-called ghetto—which inspires fear in many of Hong Kong’s other residents, despite its low crime rate—is not a place of darkness and desperation but a beacon of hope.
Gordon Mathews’s compendium of riveting stories enthralls and instructs in equal measure, making Ghetto at the Center of the World not just a fascinating tour of a singular place but also a peek into the future of life on our shrinking planet.
关于重庆大厦,麦老头(作者)说:现在的重庆大厦已经不再是曾经那个危险,毒品,强奸,非法移民,假货,嫖娼等社会阴暗面的缩影,5年前开始它就已经随着时代改变了面貌。至于变成什么样子,我还是建议你自己进去逛一逛。 另外,二楼穆斯林餐厅里的【埃及pizza】最好吃!一年来...
评分做完思维导图后突然不想细写一篇长文了……那就给思维导图写个总结吧。 麦高登给重庆大厦的比喻很巧妙,“世界中心的边缘地带”,确实如此。不仅是地理位置上的“位于繁华尖沙咀中的一座破旧大楼”,更是贫富意义上的“降落在第一世界中心的突兀的第三世界”。来自边陲国家的中...
评分矗立在尖沙咀的重庆大厦,曾被美国《时代》杂志选为“全球化最佳例子”,其收容的住客来自百多个不同的国家。人类学教授Gordon Mathews因为到重庆大厦做义工,阴差阳错地研究起了这座大厦和这座大厦里的人。据他自己所言,白人身份可能还便利了他的研究,因为华人很可能第一时...
评分2014年,我参加的某“跨文化管理”课上,听到教授提出的去重庆大厦考察的要求,外地学生感到的多是寻幽探险的兴奋,而一些本地人已经去吃过咖喱了,只有小部分本地学生表现出一点点“呃... ...”的情绪。换言之,在麦高登帮助其摆脱本地舆论污名化(很大程度上是火灾和王家卫...
评分一月底从香港诚品书店买回这本书 断断续续看到最近才终于看完 第一次看完一本竖行繁体的书 而且还非常厚 确实是有点辛苦的 因为不太习惯所以常常这一行看完了找不准哪是下一行 但是好在这是一本有趣的书 尽管是一位人类学教授经过几年的调查与记录写出的一本学术著作 ...
