Chinese society and culture changed dramatically with the end of Maoist socialism in the early 1980s. So did the everyday life of Chinese bodies. In Appetites Judith Farquhar shows how new forms of desire, pleasure, anxiety and curiosity emerged as capitalist reforms advanced. Though many have suggested that after decades of socialist collectivism people simply returned to their natural human inclinations toward food and sex, Farquhar argues instead that novel needs and experiences of private life came into existence after the end of the Maoist period. The mundane activity of eating well in improving economic times is linked to historical memories of the late 1950s famine. The systematic understanding of flavours in traditional Chinese medicine connects to a modern self-consciousness about life of the body. Even the self who can indulge private sexual passions, and the sexuality that can be assesses by social psychologists, must be invented and sustained in on-going public reflections about personal and national life. Ranging over a variety of cultural terrains - fiction, medical texts, film and television, journalism and observations of clinics and urban daily life in Beijing - Appetites sympathetically analyses modern Chinese reflections in a changing world. As much at home in science studies and social theory as in the details of life in Beijing, this account will appeal to China scholars, medical anthropologists, ethnographers in many fields and specialists in cultural studies.

为历史的身体欢呼 □三皮 人之既生,即有口腹之欲,嗷嗷待哺时节,已经明白乳汁浓稀;及长,则明了意乱情迷,所谓天性,无非如此。至于天性背后的玄机,就时移世易,各自精彩了。十余年来,过眼书目千万,其中论及美食者甚众,可读篇章亦以海量计数,遗憾的是多为抒情文章...
評分这本书的写作充满了很多奇思妙想,这部作品严肃地讨论了在中国,吃与“吃的”政治,人类学不是只研究一个小村庄,研究“奇风异俗”的独特文化。人类学可以做得很好看,很好玩,同时又不必成为飘洋过海而来的传教士们的传教日记。 第一部分:吃,感觉的政治,显然比第二部分:...
評分 評分 評分如果说出“一加一等于二”会遭殃而承认“一加一等于三”会没事,那么还有多少人敢道出真相?今天,我们说到孟子的名言“食色,性也”觉得理所应当,但在“爱人民”和“大锅饭”的时代,有几人敢说这句话?那不光是一个极度饥饿的年代,更是一段没有性别的历史,食色是被排斥在...
對流行文化的運用非常有創意,但講吃和欲望,應該來我們大四川嘛~

评分Judith Farqhuar的東西總是無法給你“到肉”的感覺。那種帶著距離感的分析,讓我看完之後覺得,cool, but so what?而且writing永遠都這麼沒有“人氣”這麼悶。
评分interesting but a little bit superficial I guess...
评分寫的很流暢很好看的人類學+社會史+文學書。中心明確一些就好瞭。
