Richard Sennett teaches sociology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the London School of Economics. His recent publications include The Corrosion of Character and Respect in a World of Inequality.
The distinguished sociologist Richard Sennett surveys major differences between earlier forms of industrial capitalism and the more global, more febrile, ever more mutable version of capitalism that is taking its place. He shows how these changes affect everyday life—how the work ethic is changing; how new beliefs about merit and talent displace old values of craftsmanship and achievement; how what Sennett calls “the specter of uselessness” haunts professionals as well as manual workers; how the boundary between consumption and politics is dissolving.
In recent years, reformers of both private and public institutions have preached that flexible, global corporations provide a model of freedom for individuals, unlike the experience of fixed and static bureaucracies Max Weber once called an “iron cage.” Sennett argues that, in banishing old ills, the new-economy model has created new social and emotional traumas. Only a certain kind of human being can prosper in unstable, fragmentary institutions: the culture of the new capitalism demands an ideal self oriented to the short term, focused on potential ability rather than accomplishment, willing to discount or abandon past experience. In a concluding section, Sennett examines a more durable form of self hood, and what practical initiatives could counter the pernicious effects of “reform.”
这本小书是2006年出版的作品,桑内特在书中对新资本主义的文化做出了精辟的分析。作者在无用的幽灵和消费政治上的洞察力是大师级别的,我相信这将会是所有看完书的读者的共识,就不多说了。 虽然篇幅很短,但《新资本主义的文化》在桑内特的作品中占有一个承前启后的独特地位...
評分 評分一开始读桑内特的书,还是在学校图书馆偶尔见到的,有关城市社会学的东西,那一本书是他的成名作——《公共人的衰落》,刚读时就恍若进入了一个神奇的世界,仿佛重新认识了大城市的本质,而由于那一本书是上世纪七十年代所写,后来桑内特就发展了他的理论,不过到了...
評分现代社会常被认为处在一个朝向未来不断取得进步的进程中,这一点在强调创意产业和技术革新的今天尤其如此——企业被赋予这样的使命:挖掘和开辟出具有创造性的、因而常常是全新的事物,而全社会都要支持和推动变革的发生。人们沉浸在一种可以理解的自信之中,这种自信实际上是...
評分在迈向中年的不归路上,我越发觉得:正常男性的手机只有打电话一个功能用的上。如果再加一项功能,那就是电话簿。如果非要再加几项,除非是“一键删除和小情儿的消息和通话记录”、“一键屏蔽小情儿的消息和来电”以及“一键恢复和小情儿的消息和通话记录”。当然最后一项功能...
當Weeden和Grusky要求用occupation取代big class,重製21世紀的class map,也許他們自己都沒有想到,這究竟可以意味著什麼。現代人的睏境和可能的自由,隻能在職業裏尋求。這是桑內特可以和韋伯對話的根本前提。
评分To be frank, it's a wonderful book, which sounds a little unacceptable and incompatitable to the mainstream of the country.

评分在新資本主義文化一書裡,Richard Sennett要說的是這樣的問題:當韋伯的鐵籠打開後,人們是否變得自由瞭?答案顯言不是這樣,作者認為,生產模式、僱傭關係,以至福利製度的轉變,責任消失、忠義不存、技能失效、一種不安的無用感彌漫,在新資本主義下要安生立命,最終還是靠自救,在公民網絡裡重拾穩定、在公共服務裡重建自信,在尊重技藝裡再顯責任與價值。
