Training the Body for China pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Anthropologist Susan Brownell, heptathlon gold medallist in the 1986 National College Games of the People's Republic of China, draws on her direct experience of Chinese athletics to provide an insight into the culture of sports and the body in China. The book introduces the notion of "body culture" to analyze Olympic sports as one element in a whole set of Chinese body practices: the "old people's disco dancing" craze; the popularity of bodybuilding (following reluctant official acceptance of the bikini); mass calisthenics; martial arts; military discipline; and more. Translating official and dissident materials into English and drawing on performance theory and histories of the body, the text uses the culture of the body as a focal point to explore the tensions between local and global organizations, the traditional and the modern, and men and women. The author's intimate knowledge of Chinese social and cultural life and the wide range of historic examples utilized aim to provide a novel perspective on how gender, the body and the nation are interlinked in Chinese culture.

評分Brownell這本書蠻具有開創性的,讀起來也很有意思。我們一直都在說“實現現代化”,但現代化最初的意義其實就是法西斯:鍛煉身體,為祖國戰鬥嘛。唯一一點想質疑的,就是在引用曆史找現狀的解釋時太具有主觀性,這不是作者一人能解決的問題,我一直以為自古文武隻是職業的兩個categories,但作者引瞭孟子的“勞心者治人,勞力者治於人”,然後把搞體育的和勞力者聯係起來,又說自古有“重文輕武”之說,雖然不是平白無故這麼說,但彆人很容易就可以找齣反例。
評分#The book discusses Chinese sports from a perspective that is based on three main assumptions.The first is that sports should be analysed as part of the entire culture of the body.The second assumption is that the culture of the body is strongly shaped by power relations, including nation/society, class, gender, and ethnic relations, as well as international relations between nations; attention should be paid to the ways in which power affect the culture of the body. The third assumption is that sports events occupy an important place within the culture of the body because sports events are one of the main arenas in which the body as a cultural artifact is publicly displayed. The book introduced the notion of body culture as a prelude:it focus on sports as daily practice (Bourdieu, the delimit of habitus)and as cultural performance(Turner, vary in any different level, ethnic, national, class, gender, etc).The discussions of "civilization"(文化) and "discipline"(紀律) complement each other and offer comparative insight into the nature of Chinese state power.
