图书描述

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.

车轱辘话堆出来的一团和气，可惜了如此讨巧的主题，哎我还是看王家卫的电影去好了。

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。

#Low-end globalization is not the world's past; it is, in at least some respects, the world's future. Chungking Mansions, in all its particularities, will of course vanish, but in a larger sense, the ghetto at the center of the world may become, by and by, all the world.

应该是读完的第一本人类学专著……重庆大厦之于香港应该是一个他者，但也许也只有香港这片神奇的土地上才能有重庆大厦这样神奇的存在，一个全球化浪潮之中小小的暗流……讲大厦里各色人等的文化认同那段真是感人至深，他们是来自第三世界的中产者，在有着更多中产者挣扎生存的发达城市里挣扎生存——于是我的感想是千万不能留下来。

在“重庆大厦为何存在以及为何值得关注“中和商业篇里，作者描述到重庆大厦在这场低端全球化中的区位，联想到毕设期间的工作，总觉得和香港这座口岸城市有异曲同工之处： 1.地区差异产生流动的动力。有意思的是，这里的差异主要是中国内地与第三世界国家商品价格和生产水平的差...

分享提纲： 1.针对某个大楼的个案研究，实在并不多见——开创性意义——从王家卫电影里的重庆大厦到人类学学术研究里的重庆大厦（各自异同）——出色的民族志著作 2.本书研究框架——地点（空间）、人群（田野对象）、商品（经济社会学和经济人类学，重庆大厦赖以生存的核心）...

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...

知道这本《Ghetto at the Center of the World: Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong》还是在好几个月之前。当时刚刚决定要跨专业申请人类学的硕士，在网路上遇见了一位国内硕士在读（非人类学专业）的姐姐。她说自己也对CUHK的ANT感兴趣，给我推荐了一些书，特别提到Gordon Mathews...

作为一个努力成为背包客的人，外出旅行时，通常会选择青年旅舍。在去香港之前，我在BOOKING上搜索了很久。非常多的民宿价格并不贵，一晚在150港币左右，就可以享受到拥有独立的卫生间、电视机、单人床的房间。同样的设施，在一般的酒店至少要800港币左右。为什么这些民宿如...
