In the early twentieth century, the Chinese state made strenuous efforts to broaden and deepen its authority over rural society. This book is an ambitious attempt to offer both a method and a framework for analyzing Chinese social history in the state-making era.The author constructs a prismatic view of village-level society that shows how marketing, kinship, water control, temple patronage, and other structures of human interaction overlapped to form what he calls the cultural nexus of power in local society. The author's concept of the cultural nexus and his tracing of how it was altered enables us for the first time to grapple with change at the village level in all its complexity.The author asserts that the growth of the state transformed and delegitimized the traditional cultural nexus during the Republican era, particularly in the realm of village leadership and finances. Thus, the expansion of state power was ultimately and paradoxically responsible for the revolution in China as it eroded the foundations of village life, leaving nothing in its place.The problems of state-making in China were different from those of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe; the Chinese experience heralds the process that would become increasingly common in the emergent states of the developing world under the very different circumstances of the twentieth century.
大四上学期的最后一篇习作,为怀念那段历久弥新的好日子,特意拿出来晒晒。 杜赞奇先生的《文化、权力与国家:1900—1942年的华北农村》一书立足于中国农村(江湖)与国家政权(庙堂)的互动关系如何开展博弈。文无义理不立,界定概念是澄清问题的首要步骤,作者明白语言不可...
评分通过许多学者的论述我们已经了解到,近代以前的中国与其说是官僚体制发达的帝国,不如说是共同文化心理维系的一个“天下”,其中央集权的力量一般只能到达县一级,而往下的基础政治结构则与其上迥然相异;现代国家的全面权力架构也为我们所熟悉。那么在近代中国,原来的“天下...
评分20世纪上半叶的中国,在遭受西方入侵的同时,还发生着另一件也许意义更深远的历史事件,即国家政权逐步加强其对乡村社会的控制。 这一进程始于清末新政,它类似于Tilly所谓的“国家政权建设”(state-making),而不同于“民族形成”(nation building)过程。但是与欧洲不...
评分文化的权力网络 从研究方法上:首先说杜赞奇的研究方法及全书的研究思路:这本书中提出了两个中心概念,这两个中心概念因为我不了解当时或现在研究常用的研究术语和生态,因此,我感觉不到它的新意。但是,在书的序和后记部分,作者提到他用了两个概...
评分杜赞奇此书是分析“权力的文化网络”与“国家政权建设”在乡村社会的依存、渗透、竞争,他得出的结论是若国家政权建设在现代化的过程中摧毁啦传统的权力结构,但同时不能有效建立为民众所接受的新的权力结构,政权的内卷化,社会基础脆弱,在面临冲击时,政权的崩溃不远矣。 ...
难读
评分福柯搭上布迪厄,还有点韦伯。好在还不算很讨厌。
评分理论精彩。
评分可以和神堂记忆、叫魂以及Keenth Dean的福建仪式网络的研究对照起来看,杜赞奇是少见的人类学会引用的关于中国的做历史的人,二十多年前的书现在看也不过时。
评分感觉杜赞奇很多的观点和Koselleck的观念史研究方法是有相似的。
