In the early twentieth century, the Chinese state made strenuous efforts to broaden and deepen its authority over rural society. This book is an ambitious attempt to offer both a method and a framework for analyzing Chinese social history in the state-making era.The author constructs a prismatic view of village-level society that shows how marketing, kinship, water control, temple patronage, and other structures of human interaction overlapped to form what he calls the cultural nexus of power in local society. The author's concept of the cultural nexus and his tracing of how it was altered enables us for the first time to grapple with change at the village level in all its complexity.The author asserts that the growth of the state transformed and delegitimized the traditional cultural nexus during the Republican era, particularly in the realm of village leadership and finances. Thus, the expansion of state power was ultimately and paradoxically responsible for the revolution in China as it eroded the foundations of village life, leaving nothing in its place.The problems of state-making in China were different from those of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe; the Chinese experience heralds the process that would become increasingly common in the emergent states of the developing world under the very different circumstances of the twentieth century.
杜赞奇此书是分析“权力的文化网络”与“国家政权建设”在乡村社会的依存、渗透、竞争,他得出的结论是若国家政权建设在现代化的过程中摧毁啦传统的权力结构,但同时不能有效建立为民众所接受的新的权力结构,政权的内卷化,社会基础脆弱,在面临冲击时,政权的崩溃不远矣。 ...
评分美国学者杜赞奇先生的《文化、权力与国家》一书,是海外中国研究领域的一部重要作品,之前已经想读多时,刚好凭借这次社会学吧精读会共读的机会,把这本书系统地学习了一遍。尽管专注于华北中国20世纪的乡村变迁,但杜老在这本书里,试图建构出一整套解释中国乡村变迁的理论体...
评分这是我初次读杜赞奇先生的《文化、权力与国家》一书,他围绕华北农村(主要是河北和山东)的几个农村来还原历史,详细描述了1900-1942年国家政权是如何下沉到农村社会的。这个过程其实是国家与乡村社会两个主体之间的博弈,充斥着张力。国家政权欲控制传统的乡村社会,...
评分当第二遍翻完这本薄薄的《文化、权利与国家》,掩上书意欲在脑海中找出点高明见解,可还是一片混沌的时候,我真的有点害怕了。这些日子各种老少中青读物不算少看,可一旦要表达,脑袋就死机,乃至上次统计课上面对一个弱智问题竟然无比弱智地懵了几分钟,硬是一直等到老师吩...
评分这件事迟早要翻出来。 小学六年级暑假的一天,下午照例要闷热起来,而早上还有些凉气。 家所在的村子,被一条小河隔成东西两部分。由于太小,以至于村民只是称其为“小河”,而非正式的大名。小河最终汇入灞河,灞河流向渭河,渭河是黄河的支流。小河河滩冲积...
史料详实机制细致。政治经济的清末、民初都好,但文化基本上只写到宗教了,现代化和意识形态的进入感觉写的不够味道。cultural nexus of power -- protective & entrepreneurial brokages -(modernization & fiscal pressure)- state involution
评分理论部分做的很好,cultural nexus可以做框架放尽很多东西来研究。老杜的作品要好好来读。
评分独立的基土文化和内向性的问题的严重性可能是一个很根本的问题,毕竟,蒙古和基督两大现象,近代以来的外来征伐,北元满清的遗留也好,算是历史的背负吧,被迫采取了这么个过于独立和内缩的一个治理生态和心灵秩序,对庙堂和国家概念的疏离甚之又甚,大概念,大祭司,大民族,大梦想之下,这些小小坚韧的自我持守反而显得有力量,不是一个独立的现象,历史上是没有人的,具体的大家的焚烧的生活自己野蛮的生长成了这个样子,我觉得还是要对书本上的河,天上的光,暂时放下,从土地笔直的穿过去,他们会感动,他们会真诚,他们也渴求一个现代的可爱生活,但是历史背负和政权质量让他们难以轻松舞蹈
评分deeply appreciated.
