Since the mid-1990s, as China has downsized and privatized its state-owned enterprises, severe unemployment has created a new class of urban poor and widespread social and psychological disorders. In Unknotting the Heart, Jie Yang examines this understudied group of workers and their experiences of being laid off, "counseled," and then reoriented to the market economy. Using fieldwork from reemployment programs, community psychosocial work, and psychotherapy training sessions in Beijing between 2002 and 2013, Yang highlights the role of psychology in state-led interventions to alleviate the effects of mass unemployment. She pays particular attention to those programs that train laid-off workers in basic psychology and then reemploy them as informal “counselors” in their capacity as housemaids and taxi drivers.
These laid-off workers are filling a niche market created by both economic restructuring and the shortage of professional counselors in China, helping the government to defuse intensified class tension and present itself as a nurturing and kindly power. In reality, Yang argues, this process creates both new political complicity and new conflicts, often along gender lines. Women are forced to use the moral virtues and work ethics valued under the former socialist system, as well as their experiences of overcoming depression and suffering, as resources for their new psychological care work. Yang focuses on how the emotions, potentials, and “hearts” of these women have become sites of regulation, market expansion, and political imagination.
Dr. Jie Yang, Associate Professor of anthropology, received her PhD in anthropology from the University of Toronto in 2006. Dr. Yang’s research is at the intersection of two primary areas: linguistic anthropology and China studies. In the first area, she is interested in the analysis of how power and ideologies are embedded in and work through language and how ideologies interpellate individuals and constitute/remold subjectivities. In the second area, Dr. Yang’s research interests focus on the aesthetic, therapeutic and neoliberal governance in contemporary China. Her two current research projects: one is China’s beauty economy, which capitalizes on the female body, feminine beauty, feminine youth, and sexuality. The other is the rise of the therapeutic in China (e.g. psychiatry, ecopsychology, counseling, social work, therapeutic consumption, therapeutic lifestyle). This project engages two areas of research on the notion of the therapeutic: one refers to a certain class of experts and the procedures they use to address psychic and physical problems; the other area of research is the modern welfare state and its ideologies, programs and policies that diagnose and normalize the marginalized groups.
理論分析基本上沒看懂
評分其實是個有趣的故事,隻是理論框架效率不太高。另一方麵,這本書看起來是一本改動篇幅異常大的博論。結閤這兩點,應當贊賞作者在詞與物之間搭建橋梁的驚人努力,也應當嘆息如果是自己的橋梁就更好瞭。
評分非常棒的一本書,心理治療作為一種新的思想工作的變種,如何在國傢安置下崗職工的過程中産生瞭治理的作用。心理谘詢話語與傳統意識形態話語結閤成瞭一種kindly power, 由職業心理谘詢師,基層社工,工廠領導,雞湯型電視節目在實踐中實施。下崗是新的機遇,追求個人幸福靠自己努力。社會經濟的變革過程如何使得個體忽略結構因素而關注個人奮進,情感和心理狀態如何成為權力治理的領域,性彆差異如何在這樣的治理策略中得以體現,這些問題都被細緻的討論。也許因為作者不在美國中國研究圈,所以其影響有限。但的確是很有意思的觀點。更為有趣的是趙本山的小品被引用率較高,從陪聊的鍾點工,到村長話聊診所,再到提供瞭反治療的“忽悠”一詞,諸多主題都和治療式治理的概念有所呼應。強推!
評分逼近期末後讀書速度放緩瞭。此書寫的實在太好瞭!如何用心理谘詢對國企下崗工人進行維穩、建構市場經濟轉型的過渡、解釋性彆觀念的再塑,這個切入點太牛逼瞭!詳見書評。Chris
