Why has the West for so long and in so many different ways expressed the idea that the Chinese have a special relationship to cruelty and to physical pain? What can the history of that idea and its expressions teach us about the politics of the West's contemporary relation to China? And what does it tell us about the philosophy of modernity?
The Hypothetical Mandarin is, in some sense, a history of the Western imagination. It is also a history of the interactions between Enlightenment philosophy, of globalization, of human rights, and of the idea of the modern. Beginning with Bianchon and Rastignac's discussion of whether the former would, if he could, obtain a European fortune by killing a Chinese mandarin in Balzac's Le Pere Goriot (1835), the book traces a series of literary and historical examples in which Chinese life and European sympathy seem to hang in one another's balance. Hayots wide-ranging discussion draws on accounts of torture, on medical case studies, travelers tales, photographs, plasticized corpses, polemical broadsides, watercolors, and on oil paintings. His analyses show that the historical connection between sympathy and humanity, and indeed between sympathy and reality, has tended to refract with a remarkable frequency through the lens called "China," and why the story of the West's Chinese pain goes to the heart of the relation between language and the body and the social experience of the modern human being.
Written in an ebullient prose, The Hypothetical Mandarin demonstrates how the network that intertwines China, sympathy, and modernity continues to shape the economic and human experience.

聽說中文版注釋多一點翻得也好,能看中文的還是看中文?Hayot這example effect我沒覺得能和Barthes的reality effect搭上界。從獵奇角度還是挺多sick pleasures的
評分我天哪,各種例子看得我有一種非常扭麯但非常非常非常非常爽的爽感。有人評價sick pleasure簡直對得不行
評分也是Elements of Academic Style的作者,思考很深,寫得也真得很好。靈魂的拷問又來瞭:我的論文究竟能是個幾流作品。。。

翻译 /姚佳琪 金雯按: “杀死满大人”在1874年出版的Littre辞典中解释为“在希望不被人所知的情况下做邪恶之事。”也就是说,满大人在18、19世纪的西方思想中,代表着游离于西方现代性之外的一群人,即现代西方人道主义和道德观无需顾及的一群人。宾州大学比较文学教授,牛津...
