This pioneering work examines prostitution in Shanghai from the late nineteenth century to the present. Drawn mostly from the daughters and wives of the working poor and declasse elites, prostitutes in Shanghai were near the bottom of class and gender hierarchies. Yet they were central figures in Shanghai urban life, entering the historical record whenever others wanted to appreciate, castigate, count, regulate, cure, pathologize, warn about, rescue, eliminate, or deploy them as a symbol in a larger social panorama. Over the past century, prostitution has been understood in many ways: as a source of urbanized pleasures, a profession full of unscrupulous and greedy schemers, a changing site of work for women, a source of moral danger and physical disease, a marker of national decay, and a sign of modernity. For the Communist leadership of the 1950s, the elimination of prostitution symbolized China's emergence as a strong, healthy, and modern nation. In the past decade, as prostitution once again has become a recognized feature of Chinese society, it has been incorporated into a larger public discussion about what kind of modernity China should seek and what kind of sex and gender arrangements should characterize that modernity. Prostitutes, like every other non-elite group, did not record their own lives. How can sources generated by intense public argument about the 'larger' meanings of prostitution be read for clues to those lives? Hershatter makes use of a broad range of materials: guidebooks to the pleasure quarters, collections of anecdotes about high-class courtesans, tabloid gossip columns, municipal regulations prohibiting street soliciting, police interrogations of streetwalkers and those accused of trafficking in women, newspaper reports on court cases involving both courtesans and streetwalkers, polemics by Chinese and foreign reformers, learned articles by Chinese scholars commenting on the world history of prostitution and analyzing its local causes, surveys by doctors and social workers on sexually transmitted disease in various Shanghai populations, relief agency records, fictionalized accounts of the scams and sufferings of prostitutes, memoirs by former courtesan house patrons, and interviews with former officials and reformers. Although a courtesan may never set pen to paper, we can infer a great deal about her strategizing and working of the system through the vast cautionary literature that tells her customers how not to be defrauded by her. Newspaper accounts of the arrests and brief court testimonies of Shanghai streetwalkers let us glimpse the way that prostitutes positioned themselves to get the most they could from the legal system. Without recourse to direct speech, Hershatter argues, these women have nevertheless left an audible trace. Central to this study is the investigation of how things are known and later remembered, and how, later still, they are simultaneously apprehended and reinvented by the historian.

久闻大名终于读到了~~ to what extent the subaltern speak 也是近现代研究的中心议题了吧 (从Spivak的开创性文章后 我是没在methodology上读到可以相比的了); 本书从prostitution上来说,对subaltern study的诠释是非常全面的; 另外就是社会对于个体以及个体表现的重构解释作用:(此处借用鲁迅的小杂感) 社会诠释将白胳膊和性交联系了起来,并不是白胳膊确实与性交有什么实质性关系; 是不是与现在的很多社会话题有关。 意义和诠释都是人这个群体赋予的,再用来束缚人个体; 想起另一篇我很喜欢的文章,看到白胳膊就想到性交:1 性交有什么错吗 2 这就是性压抑的结果~
评分牛逼的另一个例子,就用报纸小说做文本分析,理想的工作就是这样啊。

评分5 years ago, I prefered this book to CH's...I heard that some historians in Stanford strongly discredited GH's historical approach, and thus denied to give her the faculty position in Stanford..it makes me rethink the importance of "sources" for "history" .

-----------------名词解释----------------- 1 妓女集中地称为 “北里” 取自唐朝妓院区。形容妓女的美色多用花草园艺词汇。 2 按摩女为客人提供“ 清浊 ”服务, 浊 也就是 开炮 和 手淫。 3 另一种打擦边球的卖淫服务就是女向导。40年代一名向导女每日挣10元自留三分之一。 ...
评分妓女是一种普遍的社会现象,有人甚至称之为最古老的职业,实质上是一种休闲娱乐服务,其社会功能是使人们在生存斗争之余恢复自己的劳动力,和其他的休闲娱乐服务从业者比如唱戏、说书、按摩等属于同一范畴,并没有高下贵贱之分。 然而,在男权制和等级制盛行的传统社会里,女性...
评分关于民族国家与女性身体的论述所在有多,从今天看,本书的大体观点并无甚新鲜之处。我相信绝大多数人和我一样,只为了“娼妓”二字拿起此书。 娼妓,是一个复杂的意象。 从身边想起,是在街旁游荡的夜莺,是倚门张望的发廊妹……她们代表了城市夜里的另一面,我...
评分 评分一 在历史的分层体系中,被压迫群体的知识如何可能? 这是越来越多把目光投向社会底层的学者必须面对的一个基本问题。在《危险的愉悦》这部著作中,贺萧以其涉猎广泛而又细致入微的“声音考古”工作,在纷繁芜杂的各种档案和文本中认真地挖掘并建构着20 世纪中国上海娼妓的历史,用...
