For two thousand years the disparate groups that now reside in Zomia (a mountainous region the size of Europe that consists of portions of seven Asian countries) have fled the projects of the organized state societies that surround them?slavery, conscription, taxes, corvée labor, epidemics, and warfare. This book, essentially an ?anarchist history,? is the first-ever examination of the huge literature on state-making whose author evaluates why people would deliberately and reactively remain stateless. Among the strategies employed by the people of Zomia to remain stateless are physical dispersion in rugged terrain; agricultural practices that enhance mobility; pliable ethnic identities; devotion to prophetic, millenarian leaders; and maintenance of a largely oral culture that allows them to reinvent their histories and genealogies as they move between and around states.
In accessible language, James Scott, recognized worldwide as an eminent authority in Southeast Asian, peasant, and agrarian studies, tells the story of the peoples of Zomia and their unlikely odyssey in search of self-determination. He redefines our views on Asian politics, history, demographics, and even our fundamental ideas about what constitutes civilization, and challenges us with a radically different approach to history that presents events from the perspective of stateless peoples and redefines state-making as a form of ?internal colonialism.? This new perspective requires a radical reevaluation of the civilizational narratives of the lowland states. Scott?s work on Zomia represents a new way to think of area studies that will be applicable to other runaway, fugitive, and marooned communities, be they Gypsies, Cossacks, tribes fleeing slave raiders, Marsh Arabs, or San-Bushmen.
James C. Scott is Sterling Professor of Political Science, professor of anthropology, and codirector of the Agrarian Studies Programme, Yale University, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
斯氏在数本书中似有种一以贯之的研究认识进路:强调人类学式实地田野、民族志、文本解读和质性认识;展现国家/官僚技术统治/市场经济覆盖地域以外社会形制自我维持和反抗简化统治形态扩展的可能性;以东南亚等边缘落后地区材料观照西欧中心为起始之现代世界;推出现代史和社科的学术书写中国家/现代性中心以外可能的历史书写方式。拒斥国家推展统治术并非罕见,但斯氏强调此种现象在东南亚以族群层次,利用地形、历史叙述和游耕模式战略性展开,逐渐形成一长期游离于各国边缘、仅在最低程度上利用国家资源的山民历史社会实体,故而反思欧美经验中国家扩展的天然性和统治术的建构与权力性,启发未来人类社会形态。对民族建构采强建构学说。反照主流社科,有趣问题便是为何现代民族国家在西欧展开如此顺利至被奉为理所当然,是战争的地理扩展使然?
评分教授今天还送了我一本
评分为了证明自己的观点而打造证据的痕迹太明显。
评分人类学家们前赴后继,造出Zomia和Zomia+,不知道的还以为是中国产的新型手机要跟iPhone x plus 一决高下呢。Scott此书一出,Journal of Global History甚至发专刊讨论。可惜愚公移了山,智叟po了张跟山遗址的合影抢风头,van Schendel肯定在家哭吧。

处在伊河上的陆浑水库,位于洛阳嵩县,是上世纪六十年代修建的。在夏商时期,生活在这里的是一批被称为西戎的人,而“戎”是古代对少数民族的称呼。不敢想象位于中原地区洛阳的下属县曾是汉人文化边缘地带。那时中华文明的版图很小,夏商的历史简直可以称为河南的历史。史书说...
评分中国有句老话,“穷山恶水出刁民”,仔细想,可见其居心之险恶,这句话无外是站在所谓的“文明中心”看那些僻壤之境人群的生存方式,并在掌握了话语权的情况下随手贴上标签,维护自身秩序井然的形象。 但Scott 这本The Art of Not Being Governed 说的很清楚,首先,山地居民的...
评分 评分作者探究的对象是包括中国西南在内的所谓赞米亚高地,读来很亲切,也很有启迪性。书中涉及到了史学(政治史、边疆史、民族史、经济史)、人类学、社会学等多个方面,内容十分丰富。这书的翻译真心不错,读起来轻松,不别扭。我同时也购过作者所著的上海译林版的《农民的道义经...
评分我们日常所惯用的概念经常会误导人。例如说到“国家”,我们的自然反应便会以为那是像我们眼下所熟知的那种,在固定领土疆界内的排他性政治实体,没有任何非国家行为体可以和它争夺对人民的支配权。但这倒不如说是现代产生的一种特殊情形,在历史上大部分时期的大部分地区,情...
