In an era of irregular labor, nagging recession, nuclear contamination, and a shrinking population, Japan is facing precarious times. How the Japanese experience insecurity in their daily and social lives is the subject of Precarious Japan. Tacking between the structural conditions of socioeconomic life and the ways people are making do, or not, Anne Allison chronicles the loss of home affecting many Japanese, not only in the literal sense but also in the figurative sense of not belonging. Until the collapse of Japan's economic bubble in 1991, lifelong employment and a secure income were within reach of most Japanese men, enabling them to maintain their families in a comfortable middle-class lifestyle. Now, as fewer and fewer people are able to find full-time work, hope turns to hopelessness and security gives way to a pervasive unease. Yet some Japanese are getting by, partly by reconceiving notions of home, family, and togetherness.
Anne Allison is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. She is the author of Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination; Permitted and Prohibited Desires: Mothers, Comics, and Censorship in Japan; and Nightwork: Sexuality, Pleasure, and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess Club and a coeditor of the journal Cultural Anthropology.

根據Judith butler 對grievability的討論基礎上衍生齣對precarity的思考。整本書很有意思也是學術書籍中少見的接地氣,但是田野有限或者說田野擴展度太高,感覺scope無邊界啊
评分剛看完前三章,裏麵除瞭一段短暫的作者去一個ngo的見聞(走馬觀花的)之外,剩下都是分析新聞報道,或者是什麼日本人的齣版的迴憶錄,會議記錄,紀錄片。感覺這樣的話我也能拼湊齣來一個precarious China。我們中國的蟻族,北漂很多啊,上街砍人的報道也不少,相關紀錄片也能數齣一大堆。現在人類學著作都興這麼寫嘛?田野去哪兒瞭?
评分有一種將所見所聞強行套入到precarity這個框架裏的感覺
