具体描述

This pioneering work examines prostitution in Shanghai from the late nineteenth century to the present. Drawn mostly from the daughters and wives of the working poor and declasse elites, prostitutes in Shanghai were near the bottom of class and gender hierarchies. Yet they were central figures in Shanghai urban life, entering the historical record whenever others wanted to appreciate, castigate, count, regulate, cure, pathologize, warn about, rescue, eliminate, or deploy them as a symbol in a larger social panorama. Over the past century, prostitution has been understood in many ways: as a source of urbanized pleasures, a profession full of unscrupulous and greedy schemers, a changing site of work for women, a source of moral danger and physical disease, a marker of national decay, and a sign of modernity. For the Communist leadership of the 1950s, the elimination of prostitution symbolized China's emergence as a strong, healthy, and modern nation. In the past decade, as prostitution once again has become a recognized feature of Chinese society, it has been incorporated into a larger public discussion about what kind of modernity China should seek and what kind of sex and gender arrangements should characterize that modernity. Prostitutes, like every other non-elite group, did not record their own lives. How can sources generated by intense public argument about the 'larger' meanings of prostitution be read for clues to those lives? Hershatter makes use of a broad range of materials: guidebooks to the pleasure quarters, collections of anecdotes about high-class courtesans, tabloid gossip columns, municipal regulations prohibiting street soliciting, police interrogations of streetwalkers and those accused of trafficking in women, newspaper reports on court cases involving both courtesans and streetwalkers, polemics by Chinese and foreign reformers, learned articles by Chinese scholars commenting on the world history of prostitution and analyzing its local causes, surveys by doctors and social workers on sexually transmitted disease in various Shanghai populations, relief agency records, fictionalized accounts of the scams and sufferings of prostitutes, memoirs by former courtesan house patrons, and interviews with former officials and reformers. Although a courtesan may never set pen to paper, we can infer a great deal about her strategizing and working of the system through the vast cautionary literature that tells her customers how not to be defrauded by her. Newspaper accounts of the arrests and brief court testimonies of Shanghai streetwalkers let us glimpse the way that prostitutes positioned themselves to get the most they could from the legal system. Without recourse to direct speech, Hershatter argues, these women have nevertheless left an audible trace. Central to this study is the investigation of how things are known and later remembered, and how, later still, they are simultaneously apprehended and reinvented by the historian.

东莞扫黄?没用的 且不说它先天就是运动式的,所以娘胎里就注定长久不了。书里写了建国前几次扫黄,无一例外以官方难看失败告终。娼妓制度是资本主义社会不可避免的,是现代性的一部分。 新中国成立之后有一次相对(这个相对也很值得怀疑)成功的扫黄,因为它改变了妓院得以繁...

早在几年前,凯特·米利特的《性政治》一书作为女权主义研究的革命性成果,剧烈地冲击了人类的历史和社会文化,使人们看到了在看似私密的“性”与公众的政治之间竟然存在着如此复杂的权力关系;而以直接出卖自己的“性”——或者说身体——为生的娼妓则毫无疑问地与国家政治有...

今天真是那什么夜色溶溶月,花间啥来着? 刚打完花溅月,喝完壶见底,然后开始写花姑娘……那叫一个燕燕轻盈,莺莺娇软。 前脚还是,楚腰纤细掌中轻,转身就是淮南皓月冷千山,冥冥归去无人管啊。 人家残月出门时,美人和泪辞。 我等骆驼三更挑灯,虎妞添...

关于民族国家与女性身体的论述所在有多,从今天看,本书的大体观点并无甚新鲜之处。我相信绝大多数人和我一样,只为了“娼妓”二字拿起此书。 娼妓,是一个复杂的意象。 从身边想起,是在街旁游荡的夜莺,是倚门张望的发廊妹……她们代表了城市夜里的另一面,我...

Solid but also much theoretically informed. 新文化史的典范,全程注意反思自己作为historian的局限性和文字材料的真实性。围绕娼妓业的各种问题都有讨论并与宏大主题灵活结合。12章结尾对于modernity这一概念在共和国的reconfiguration提出很有启发的论述。

5 years ago, I prefered this book to CH's...I heard that some historians in Stanford strongly discredited GH's historical approach, and thus denied to give her the faculty position in Stanford..it makes me rethink the importance of "sources" for "history" .
