<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.
"交公糧"那部分實在不敢苟同。寫妻子share the semen那部分,作者沒有做什麼紮實的經驗研究,訪問嫖客的妻子瞭嗎?人類學的想象力!
評分Fascinating and nuanced accounts of sex workers' lives in China, but at time the author tend to overanalyse, probably because of the academic nature of the piece and the pressure to come up with new theories. Would have been more enjoyable if the author had adopted a more journalistic approach.
評分我不知道是不是dealing in desire有參考,但是很多地方很像。雖然zheng對於這些話題的掌握並沒有很hoang深刻。包括對於背景文化的考察(日本的殖民曆史),産業內部的階級,對masculinity的重塑,主要這三點太像瞭。隻是哪一點都沒有很具體也沒有很深刻的理論依據。本書的narrative比analysis要多太多,是有惋惜和遺憾的感覺。intro部分的對於positionality的分析其實非常大膽,也很好看,但後麵就再也沒齣現過瞭。
評分It really gives me a much clearer idea of what the karaoke bar in Dalian is like. This is an eye-opening book. The experience of the author is also very interesting. Check it out.
評分對現實的詳細記錄是值得贊揚的,但是書中的深層分析並不是很貼切,並且作者很明顯是帶著個人偏見去分析這一課題的。

評分总体而言,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...
