In 1935, a Chinese woman by the name of Shi Jianqiao murdered the notorious warlord Sun Chuanfang as he prayed in a Buddhist temple. This riveting work of history examines this well-publicized crime and the highly sensationalized trial of the killer. In a fascinating investigation of the media, political, and judicial records surrounding this cause célèbre, Eugenia Lean shows how Shi Jianqiao planned not only to avenge the death of her father, but also to attract media attention and galvanize public support. Lean traces the rise of a new sentiment--"public sympathy"--in early twentieth-century China, a sentiment that ultimately served to exonerate the assassin. The book sheds new light on the political significance of emotions, the powerful influence of sensational media, modern law in China, and the gendered nature of modernity.
Eugenia Lean is Assistant Professor of History at Columbia University.
作者是否夸大了大众媒体的作用?在林郁沁看来,“公众同情”是一种随着大众媒体兴起后产生的“新”的情感体验。可是,“情”在中国传统文化中有着悠久历史。比如,在没有大众媒介的春秋时期,就有众怒一说。(《左传•襄公十年》就有讲到“众怒难犯”)既然有众怒,是否也可...
评分很难想象,如此薄的一本书竟然探讨了民国政治、军阀威权、法理、女性、公共领域、现代性、国家的想象、传媒力量等诸多话题。作者言简意赅、行文流畅,史料运用做了最简化的处理,但完全不影响对观点的阐述。 然而作者给自己设下了一个陷阱,在厘清了法治、礼治、人情、...
评分1935年11月13日,在天津南马路清修院居士林主持诵经仪式的下野军阀孙传芳被普通女子施剑翘枪杀。所谓“血溅佛堂”的刺孙事件,在后世以小说、戏剧、传记文学和广播影视作品的形式广泛流传,作为民国年间所谓的“奇闻异事”和“血案秘闻”之一,被几代文人墨客不厌其烦地描...
评分读了《施剑翘复仇案》这本书后,才得知军阀孙传芳被施剑翘经过长达十年的精心策划射杀在佛堂上。同时从书中也得知,另一个军阀,外号狗肉将军的张宗昌也被为了报私仇所刺杀,两个杀人法的下场一样,经过审判蹲了几年班房后都得到了政府的特赦,获得自由身;抗日战争时期...
评分看完之后有点晕,自己水平不够!但让我想到了最近的贾敬龙案件! 这是要写读书报告的,感觉会往情治与法治这方面写! 经历了上台讲ppt(听说我的手是抖的,声音也是)。 老师,讲评,又往深处讲了。中国自古以来就是血亲仇恨是必报,只有过了九代才可以不报,所以得到特赦是很...
非常清楚。
评分是理想中的論文典範!滴水不漏的包圍式解剖,開放式的討論與設想。
评分excellent writing and theoretical insights
评分Lean’s masterpiece offers an unassuming, intriguing entry to Republican Chinese history, where a wide array of characters, from the masses to the elites and back to the masses, are introduced; continuities and changes, extending both ways, are explored; seemingly trivial(ised), sentimental(ised) issues are given due analysis. 海外中国研究的上佳之作。
评分Good writing, organization, and deep insights. But not rich and profound enough due to the limitation of a single case.
