具体描述
How did ordinary people in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) deal with the demands of the state? In The Art of Being Governed, Michael Szonyi explores the myriad ways that families fulfilled their obligations to provide a soldier to the army. The complex strategies they developed to manage their responsibilities suggest a new interpretation of an important period in China's history as well as a broader theory of politics.
Using previously untapped sources, including lineage genealogies and internal family documents, Szonyi examines how soldiers and their families living on China's southeast coast minimized the costs and maximized the benefits of meeting government demands for manpower. Families that had to provide a soldier for the army set up elaborate rules to ensure their obligation was fulfilled, and to provide incentives for the soldier not to desert his post. People in the system found ways to gain advantages for themselves and their families. For example, naval officers used the military's protection to engage in the very piracy and smuggling they were supposed to suppress. Szonyi demonstrates through firsthand accounts how subjects of the Ming state operated in a space between defiance and compliance, and how paying attention to this middle ground can help us better understand not only Ming China but also other periods and places.

读后感
来自宋怡明教授的专访，http://mingching.sinica.edu.tw/en/Academic_Detail/567 宋教授將於 2017 年 11 月底出版第三本專著《The Art of Being Governed：Everyday Politics in Late Imperial China》（被統治的技藝：帝制中國晚期的日常政治，簡稱《被統治的技藝》）。從書名...
评分【编者按】宋教授於 2017 年 11 月底出版第三本專著《The Art of Being Governed：Everyday Politics in Late Imperial China》（被統治的技藝：帝制中國晚期的日常政治，簡稱《被統治的技藝》）。從書名可知，此書與《前線島嶼》同樣受到斯科特的影響。此書以明代沿海衛所為背...
评分 评分用民俗学、人类学的方法做了一个社区研究，核心聚焦点放在了社会学、政治学讨论的国家——社会——个人议题上。 具体内容不多介绍了，书最后部分作者自己已经总结得非常清楚了。 1.家谱研究的田野方法很有意思，之前隐约记得潘光旦先生有类似研究?不知道国内有没有其他人用这种...
评分如果“规训”（discipline）之网确实处处变得更加清晰、将更多人牢牢套住，那么对以下问题的求索便显得愈加迫切：整个社会是如何反抗堕入此规训之网的？众人是通过哪些惯用的（亦即日常而“微不足道”的）手段操纵规训的机制，以求在顺从中加以规避？ 最后，又是怎样的“运作方...
用户评价
我磕磕绊绊读完然后战战兢兢打个四星。虽然很多anecdote很通俗接地气，但行文毕竟非常学术，偶尔觉得dry. 中国人民与天斗与官斗的智慧并不会surprise我，但作者的格局更高，只恨我没有社会学或者历史研究的理论基础，没法dive deep了。母上大人不知道看了矮大紧哪个节目后给我强烈推荐这本书，我觉得她自己不一定能读进去...
评分有点意思
评分非常好，尤其是书写策略。
评分从如此小且冷门的角度切入明史，所探讨的问题却是明朝根本的军事制度问题，且讨论了平民与国家之间互动，并利用这种互动，让自己的利益最大化。老百姓虽是被统治的对象，却在互动中并非被动的一方，其中可操作可主导的空间很大。作者还进一步论证了民间应对策略的问题，这些策略直至今天仍在中国民间与国家的关系中起着作用。
评分小切口历史人类学。从家谱民间叙述和documents中重建明代军户制度的原貌。细致有趣。作者从none-structural perspective挖掘被统治者如何maximize family interest和整体解构进行互动，顺带讲了明代海上贸易与军户“倭寇”间的复杂关系，以及屯戍制度与土地流转的张力。Impressive story telling!
