<DIV>In China today, sex work cannot be untangled from the phenomenon of rural-urban migration, the entertainment industry, and state power. In Red Lights, Tiantian Zheng highlights the urban karaoke bar as the locus at which these three factors intersect and provides a rich account of the lives of karaoke hostesses—a career whose name disguises the sex work and minimizes the surprising influence these women often have as power brokers.
Zheng embarked on two years of intensely embedded ethnographic fieldwork in her birthplace, Dalian, a large northeastern Chinese seaport of over six million people. During this time, Zheng lived and worked with a group of hostesses in a karaoke bar, facing many of the same dangers that they did and forming strong, intimate bonds with them. The result is an especially engaging, moving story of young, rural women struggling to find meaning, develop a modern and autonomous identity, and, ultimately, survive within an oppressively patriarchal state system.
Moving from her case studies to broader theories of sex, gender, and power, Zheng connects a growth in capitalist entrepreneurialism to the emergence of an urban sex industry, brilliantly illuminating the ways in which hostesses, their clients, and the state are mutually created in postsocialist China.
TIANTIAN ZHENG is Associate Professor of Sociology/Anthropology at State University of New York, USA, and author of Red Lights: The Lives of Sex Workers in Postsocialist China.
2.5 田野做的很大胆,很用心。读着这些爱恨情仇男男女女那点儿事儿又心酸又过瘾的。但是理论部分实在是一言难尽。把“公粮”和“精”这两个概念与国家-家庭(妻子)做一个对比分析从而得出男性出去找小姐是找回男性气质的一种体现(???)这样的结论 真的是哭笑不得。
评分对现实的详细记录是值得赞扬的,但是书中的深层分析并不是很贴切,并且作者很明显是带着个人偏见去分析这一课题的。
评分三星全给ethnography的部分,这个田野做的是下了血本的,勇气可嘉,只是阐释和理论部分实在不敢恭维,白白糟蹋了好故事。
评分七分,无功无过,不温不火。
评分没有华丽的书写技巧,甚至和很多娴熟的ethnographer相比,郑的笔法略显生硬。但是这些性工作者的处境,能够这样被呈现出来,就是此书的力量,值得读者的敬意。
总体而言,这本书的价值在民族志叙事(十几二十年前的状况),但分析解释和理论部分并不怎么样。所以主要看里面的叙事和故事就好,当然一些撕逼和爱恨情仇点还是很有趣的。另外觉得作者在写书时其实在转嫁自己情感。作者似乎想把性工作者描述成了同男权与不公正的社会做...
