★ 比肩《忧郁的热带》，击败时间的民族志书写

★ 作者师从法国国宝级人类学家克洛德·列维-斯特劳斯

★ 美国当代小说大师保罗·奥斯特翻译本书英文版并作序推荐

我相信，你简直无法不爱上这本书。

作者写作时的慎重与耐心，观察之犀利，其中的幽默，思维之严谨与书中的悲悯——这些 品质相得益彰，共同造就了这部重要又令人难忘的著作。这是一个人经历的真实故事，提出的都是最根本性的问题：一个人类学家是如何得知信息的，两种文化之间会进行什么样的交易，人们会在什么样的情况下保守秘密？

在为我们刻画这个未知的文明时，克拉斯特的写作带着优秀小说家的狡黠。他对细节的关注一丝不苟、无比精确；而他那种将自己的思想融汇为胆大又自洽的论点的能力往往令人称奇。他是那种极为少见的、毫不犹豫就采取第一人称写作的学者，而最终的成果不仅仅是一幅他所研究的民族的肖像，也是一幅他本人的自画像。

与南美丛林中最后的食人部落一同生活，见证出生、成年、婚配、死亡、节日、祭祀……

浸入瓜亚基人的生活与头脑，真挚发问：

人类能不能放弃追求一切，告别惶惶不可终日，

拒绝屈服权力，也拒绝过度生产，更从容、自由、坚定地生活，摆脱外部世界的束缚？

--------------------------------------

瓜亚基人，一群生活在巴拉圭密林中的印第安人。他们以打猎、采集为生，有自己的语言、风俗与社会制度。16世纪起，西方殖民者和当地居民一道，不断占领、吞食他们生活的领地，他们躲避、抗争、流亡、被“安置”……到了20世纪60年代末，这个部落的人口已不足三十。

1963年，本书作者、法国人类学家皮埃尔·克拉斯特在瓜亚基人被安置于定居点后进入了这个部落，与他们一同生活，对他们在生育、死亡、饮食、求偶、部落管理、性向认同、劳动分工等方面进行了细致入微的观察和书写。

在书中，克拉斯特直面瓜亚基人的残忍、习俗之状况，以及他们缓慢的衰亡。这是一种充满人情味的民族志书写，情感充溢全篇：克拉斯特于瓜亚基人一同经历了生育、成年、死亡与逃亡；它也是一种客观的民族志，摈弃了一切道德偏见：面对瓜亚基人的吃人风俗，卡拉斯特并没有止步于猎奇与惊叹，而给予他们最大程度的理解。

法国著名哲学家吉尔·德勒兹面对这部作品，感叹道：“这本奇妙的著作标志了一种新型民族学的开端：它富于感性、积极于行动，又充满政治性；它是‘种族大屠杀’一词彻底的对立面。”

三文鱼由来已久。它们早于我们存在，作为一种可靠的季节性资源，一种来自远洋深处的营养物质，它们在近海地区可以被方便地捕获，从而成为了海边人群的生计支柱。我们曾拥有共同的历史，然而近些年来这种历史发展出了新的方向。

本书是关于“鱼的城市”的第一本民族志。基于作者自2002年始在三文鱼养殖业的田野，以多物种民族志的视角检审三文鱼养殖如何成为全球化的水产资本产业。它讲述三文鱼如何成为养殖的动物和如何被赋予情感的故事。这是关于一个出人意料的、正在崛起的产业故事，这个产业已给世界渔业资源的格局带来了巨大改变。随着三文鱼的全球化，这也是关于一种新型生物资本改变人类与非人类、自然与文化之间关系的故事。本书重点描述构成三文鱼养殖的脆弱而不可预料的关系实践，以及其催生的多种“成为三文鱼”的方式，呈现出人与自然的切面如何在三文鱼的旅途中不断赋形，又塑造着彼此。

以往，“它们的”故事在生物学家中寻找读者，“我们的”故事在人类学家中寻找读者，但讲故事的方式正在发生改变。

=========================================

这本书既是对三文鱼和饲养它们的人之间相互影响的敏锐探索，也是一封引人入胜的写给民族志的情书，它阐明了这种工作可以扩大我们思考科学和社会棘手问题的界限……这是一部人类学著作，它向所有人讲述了我们的食物系统和被卷入其中的动物，以及不确定性的不可避免；它以一种高超的声音向我们提供了一个没有结尾的答案。

——《泰晤士报文学增刊》

一个及时的贡献……总的来说，《成为三文鱼》对一个快速增长的行业进行了详细而有启发性的研究，提供了对照料实践的关键见解，这些实践确实将鱼作为食用动物带到了生活中，并贯穿其间。

——《工作人类学评论》

《成为三文鱼》展现了生活中平庸的一面，揭示了它们令人震惊的陌生感。玛丽安娜•伊丽莎白•利恩追溯了这种陌生感——通过理论、历史、民族志和凄美的个人叙述——来说明人与非人的关系是如何处于我们生活的核心的。

Eloquently interweaving ethnography and memoir, award-winning anthropologist Ruth Behar offers a new theory and practice for humanistic anthropology. She proposes an anthropology that is lived and written in a personal voice. She does so in the hope that it will lead us toward greater depth of understanding and feeling, not only in contemporary anthropology, but in all acts of witnessing.

Updated Edition With a New Preface Lila Abu-Lughod lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt for nearly two years, studying gender relations and the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. The poems are haunting, the evocation of emotional life vivid. But her analysis also reveals how deeply implicated poetry and sentiment are in the play of power and the maintenance of a system of social hierarchy. What begins as a puzzle about a single poetic genre becomes a reflection on the politics of sentiment and the relationship between ideology and human experience.

人类学是一门寂寞的学问。全人类学家的田野却因其朴素生动而吸引着读者。它与人类的文明相关，又与田野村落相联，因而有着其独特的风格。《飘泊中的永恒――人类学田野调查笔记》为台湾东华大家考古人类学系教授乔健的一部人类学笔记。标题出自其对人类学的独特见解：人类学者虽在不断改变他们的研究题目，却也在始终不懈地寻求一种恒久的东西――人类思想与行为的基本规律与结构――这种东西要比瑶族的远祖居地更为古老。本书原由台湾出版，深受读者喜爱，本版为大陆首版，全书由作者近二十篇人类学调查笔记组成。书中谈印第安文明，谈瑶族风俗，谈作者的人类学旅程，非常耐读。

本书是拉德克利夫-布朗的最后一部遗著，虽然是文集而非专著，但全面地反映了拉德克利夫-布朗的社会人类学理论与方法论见解，是现代人类学的导论之作。

China's one-child rule is unassailably one of the most controversial social policies of all time. In the first book of its kind, Susan Greenhalgh draws on twenty years of research into China's population politics to explain how the leaders of a nation of one billion decided to limit all couples to one child. Focusing on the historic period 1978-80, when China was just reentering the global capitalist system after decades of self-imposed isolation, Greenhalgh documents the extraordinary manner in which a handful of leading aerospace engineers hijacked the population policymaking process and formulated a strategy that treated people like missiles. Just One Child situates these science- and policymaking practices in their broader contexts--the scientization and statisticalization of sociopolitical life--and provides the most detailed and incisive account yet of the origins of the one-child policy.

Recent symbolic and social analyses have drawn much attention to the role of material culture in human society, emphasising the representational and ideological aspects of the material world. These studies have, nonetheless, often overlooked how the very physicality of material culture and our material surroundings make them unique and distinctive from text and discourse. In this 2009 book, Boivin explores how the physicality of the material world shapes our thoughts, emotions, cosmological frameworks, social relations and even our bodies. Focusing on the agency of material culture, she draws on the work of a diverse range of thinkers, from Marx and Merleau-Ponty to Darwin, while highlighting a wide selection of studies in archaeology, cultural anthropology, history, cognitive science and evolutionary biology. She asks what is distinctive about material culture compared to other aspects of human culture and presents a comprehensive overview of material agency that has much to offer to both scholars and students.

Drawing on a wide range of anthropological case studies, this book focuses on ordinary ethics in contemporary China. The book examines the kinds of moral and ethical issues that emerge (sometimes almost unnoticed) in the flow of everyday life in Chinese communities. How are schoolchildren judged to be good or bad by their teachers and their peers - and how should a 'bad' student be dealt with? What exactly do children owe their parents, and how should this debt be repaid? Is it morally acceptable to be jealous if one's neighbours suddenly become rich? Should the wrongs of the past be forgotten, e.g. in the interests of communal harmony, or should they be dealt with now? In the case of China, such questions have obviously been shaped by the historical contexts against which they have been posed, and by the weight of various Chinese traditions. But this book approaches them on a human scale. More specifically, it approaches them from an anthropological perspective, based on participation in the flow of everyday life during ethnographic fieldwork in Chinese communities.

Anthropology has two main tasks: to understand what it is to be human and to examine how humanity is manifested differently in the diversity of culture. These tasks have gained new impetus from the extraordinary rise of the digital. This book brings together several key anthropologists working with digital culture to demonstrate just how productive an anthropological approach to the digital has already become. Through a range of case studies from Facebook to Second Life to Google Earth, Digital Anthropology explores how human and digital can be defined in relation to one another, from avatars and disability; cultural differences in how we use social networking sites or practise religion; the practical consequences of the digital for politics, museums, design, space and development to new online world and gaming communities. The book also explores the moral universe of the digital, from new anxieties to open-source ideals. Digital Anthropology reveals how only the intense scrutiny of ethnography can overturn assumptions about the impact of digital culture and reveal its profound consequences for everyday life. Combining the clarity of a textbook with an engaging style which conveys a passion for these new frontiers of enquiry, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of anthropology, media studies, communication studies, cultural studies and sociology.

在线阅读本书 In this, his most famous work, Marcel Mauss (1872-1950) presented to the world a book which revolutionized our understanding of some of the basic structures of society. A renowned anthropologist, Mauss sought in this work to transcend empirical observation and reach deeper realities. In so doing, he inaugurated a new era for the social sciences. By identifying the complex web of exchange and obligation involved in the act of giving, Mauss called into question many of our social conventions and economic systems. As L'evi-Strauss remarked, "Few have managed to read it without feeling the whole gamut of the emotions: the pounding heart, the throbbing head, the mind flooded with the imperious, though not yet definable, certainty of being present at a decisive event in the evolution of science."

In Search of Respect, Philippe Bourgois's now-classic, ethnographic study of social marginalization in inner-city America, won critical acclaim after it was first published in 1995 and in 1997 was awarded the Margaret Mead Award. For the first time, an anthropologist had managed to gain the trust and long-term friendship of street-level drug dealers in one of the roughest ghetto neighborhoods in the United States - East Harlem. This new edition adds a prologue describing the major dynamics in America that have altered life on the streets of East Harlem in the six years since the first edition. Bourgois, in a new epilogue, brings up to date the stories of the people - Primo, Caesar, Luis, Tony, Candy - who readers come to know in this remarkable window onto the world of the inner-city drug trade.

The first generation of children born under China’s one-child family policy is now reaching adulthood. What are these children like? What are their values, goals, and interests? What kinds of relationships do they have with their families? This is the first in-depth study to analyze what it is like to grow up as the state-appointed vanguard of modernization. Based on surveys and ethnographic research in China, where the author lived with teenage only children and observed their homes and classrooms for 27 months between 1997 and 2002, the book explores the social, economic, and psychological consequences of the government’s decision to accelerate the fertility transition. Only Hope shows how the one-child policy has largely succeeded in its goals, but with unintended consequences. Only children are expected to be the primary providers of support and care for their retired parents, grandparents, and parents-in-law, and only a very lucrative position will allow them to provide for so many dependents. Many only children aspire to elite status even though few can attain it, and such aspirations lead to increased stress and competition, as well as intense parental involvement.

Who exactly are China's new rich? This pioneering investigation introduces readers to the private lives—and the nightlives—of the powerful entrepreneurs and managers redefining success and status in the city of Chengdu. Over the course of more than three years, anthropologist John Osburg accompanied, and in some instances assisted, wealthy Chinese businessmen as they courted clients, partners, and government officials. Drawing on his immersive experiences, Osburg invites readers to join him as he journeys through the new, highly gendered entertainment sites for Chinese businessmen, including karaoke clubs, saunas, and massage parlors—places specifically designed to cater to the desires and enjoyment of elite men. Within these spaces, a masculinization of business is taking place. Osburg details the complex code of behavior that governs businessmen as they go about banqueting, drinking, gambling, bribing, exchanging gifts, and obtaining sexual services. These intricate social networks play a key role in generating business, performing social status, and reconfiguring gender roles. But many entrepreneurs feel trapped by their obligations and moral compromises in this evolving environment. Ultimately, Osburg examines their deep ambivalence about China's future and their own complicity in the major issues of post-Mao Chinese society—corruption, inequality, materialism, and loss of trust.

In 2004, Vanessa Fong offered a groundbreaking ethnographic exploration of the social, economic, and psychological development of children born since China's one-child policy was introduced in 1979. Her book Only Hope left readers with a picture of stressed, ambitious adolescents for whom elite status was the ultimate goal, though relatively few were in a position to achieve it. In Paradise Redefined, Fong tracks the experiences of many in her initial cohort of Chinese only-children—now college-age—as they study abroad in Australia, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, North America, and Singapore. While earning a prestigious college education in China is the main path to elite status, study abroad provides an alternative channel by offering a particularly flexible "developed world" citizenship. This flexible citizenship promises the potential for greater happiness and freedom afforded by transnational mobility, but also brings with it unexpected suffering, ambivalence, and disappointment. Paradise Redefined offers insights into China's globalization by examining the expectations and experiences that affect how various Chinese students make decisions about studying abroad, staying abroad, immigration, and returning home. "Vanessa Fong has made a remarkable contribution by her meticulous following of a generation of Chinese single children through their educational careers, first at home and now abroad. The impact of this generation on the world will be immense, and this is a key window on how their lives are unfolding."—Alan Smart, University of Calgary "From Only Hope to Paradise Redefined, Fong's unique, longitudinal research offers an invaluable key to better understand the singleton generation in China who have come of age in the first decade of the 21st century, and will to a great extent determine the future of the most populous country on earth."—Yunxiang Yan, University of California, Los Angeles "With Paradise Redefined,Vanessa Fong has produced another well-researched and innovative account.Those familiar with Only Hope will welcome this impressive transnational sequel, and a wider audience of globalization and migration scholars, educators, policy makers, and China scholars will find it a timely, authoritative, and unique source of insight into Chinese students abroad."—Nicole Constable, University of Pittsburgh

Chinese society has seen phenomenal change in the last 30 years. Two of the most profound changes have been the rise of the individual in both public and private spheres and the consequent individualisation of Chinese society itself. Yet, despite China's recent dramatic entrance into global politics and economics, neither of these significant shifts has been fully analysed. China presents an alternative model of social transformation in the age of globalisation; therefore, its path to development may have particular implications for the developing world. The Individualization of Chinese Society reveals how individual agency has been on the rise since the 1970s and how this has affected everyday life and Chinese society more broadly. The book presents a wide range of detailed case studies focusing on the impact of economic policy, patterns of kinship, changes in marriage relations and the socio-economic position of women, the development of youth culture, the politics of consumerism, and shifting power relations in everyday life. Exploring the rise of the individual in both rural and urban settings, The Individualization of Chinese Society provides a detailed overview of this major social phenomenon and its wider implications.
