具體描述
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.

讀後感
【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...

用戶評價
從如此小且冷門的角度切入明史，所探討的問題卻是明朝根本的軍事製度問題，且討論瞭平民與國傢之間互動，並利用這種互動，讓自己的利益最大化。老百姓雖是被統治的對象，卻在互動中並非被動的一方，其中可操作可主導的空間很大。作者還進一步論證瞭民間應對策略的問題，這些策略直至今天仍在中國民間與國傢的關係中起著作用。
评分理論一團糟，但是有重要的介入
评分理論受影響於福柯的governmentality, James Scott的<The Art of Not Being Governed>還有再地化。其實一直覺得everyday politics本身就是一個用來挑戰福柯非常好用的概念。
评分非常好，尤其是書寫策略。
评分我磕磕絆絆讀完然後戰戰兢兢打個四星。雖然很多anecdote很通俗接地氣，但行文畢竟非常學術，偶爾覺得dry. 中國人民與天鬥與官鬥的智慧並不會surprise我，但作者的格局更高，隻恨我沒有社會學或者曆史研究的理論基礎，沒法dive deep瞭。母上大人不知道看瞭矮大緊哪個節目後給我強烈推薦這本書，我覺得她自己不一定能讀進去...
