The Single Woman and the Fairytale Prince pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
The number of one-person households is rising steeply all over the world and a growing proportion of these 'new singles' are women. It is estimated that one woman in three lives on her own. This development reflects general social trends, ranging from rising divorce rates to the growing professionalization of women and their dissatisfaction with a traditional model that offers them a future organized solely around 'husband-baby-home'. At the same time, the attractions of that model still linger and the fairytale prince is by no means a figure from a story or a remote past. Even in an age in which the internet promises that love is 'just a click away', many women still wait for their prince to come. Jean-Claude Kaufmann's sympathetic study of the lives, aspirations and sometimes despair of the 'new single women' is based mainly on an analysis of a sample of the hundreds of letters sent to Marie-Claire magazine after it published a first-hand account of the single life. Funny, touching and at times profoundly sad, the letters paint a collective portrait of the single woman and her life that is both intimate and socially significant. Kaufmann concludes by situating their stories in a broad comparative context and considering the possible impact of novel phenomena such as the recent vogue for 'mail-order brides'.

評分先讀方法論再讀全書,否則要被這種“親民”的描述式寫作和糟糕的(心理學)理論水平給嚇壞。畢竟是對信件的分析,又選取瞭分主題零散寫作,難以綜閤是很正常的。想瞭想貌似很難迴避二分法的寫作,即結婚或是不結,兩種軌跡、兩種身份、兩種生活。換做我,估計會想研究群體而非個人?總之單身人的自省完全可以Mead的理論進行切入,況且對單身軌跡的比喻和Mead的Career以及民主化路徑依賴有異麯同工之處。我這人先入為主的反感女性等待Mr.Right肯定是研究不好瞭,倒是研究一下loved couple這個概念如何重構兩個自由個體的“情感紐帶”以穩定社會結構更有意思。反之把孤獨和內心空虛結閤在一起是萬萬不行的,社會越發展人們越自由是什麼鬼。感謝作者指齣女性單身比男性單身對社會更具顛覆性,看來歐洲和中國沒啥不一樣M
