In a society that has seen epochal change over a few generations, what remains to hold people together and offer them a sense of continuity and meaning? In Songs for Dead Parents, Erik Mueggler shows how in contemporary China death and the practices surrounding it have become central to maintaining a connection with the world of ancestors, ghosts, and spirits that socialism explicitly disavowed.
Drawing on more than twenty years of fieldwork in a mountain community in Yunnan Province, Songs for Dead Parents shows how people view the dead as both material and immaterial, as effigies replace corpses, tombstones replace effigies, and texts eventually replace tombstones in a long process of disentangling the dead from the shared world of matter and memory. It is through these processes that people envision the cosmological underpinnings of the world and assess the social relations that make up their community. Thus, state interventions aimed at reforming death practices have been deeply consequential, and Mueggler traces the transformations they have wrought and their lasting effects.
Erik Mueggler is professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan. He was a 2002 winner of the MacArthur Foundation Genius award.

評分“我們為什麼不歌唱”
評分終於讀完瞭。。。結閤第一本The Age of Wild Ghosts中的內容,那麼很多東西就都顯得比較完整瞭。結構上沒有「野鬼的時代」那麼穏,主要是第二部分著重在文本分析瞭。第五章的故事還是寫得相當不錯的。Erik Mueggler把理論的部分內化的很好,讀起來很舒服。大哥似乎不太喜歡寫結論XD。。。
評分讀Mueggler的東西感覺就是:文獻都白看瞭,田野也白做瞭,真是望塵莫及…
