This study focuses on Chinese peasants’ behavioural logic after the abolition of agricultural taxes in 2006. The everyday words and deeds of the residents of an ordinary village in Gansu Province were observed and interpreted. Their behavioural logic can be conceptualized as ‘heteronomous rationality’, according to which one’s behavioural choice is based on whether one is treated equally and fairly in comparison with others. When deviations from this standard are observed, rural peasants are motivated to protest. This study further examines when and how this Chinese-style peasant egalitarianism was shaped.
本文主要研究2006年取消农业税后中国农民的行为逻辑。对甘肃省一个普通村庄居民的日常言行进行了观察和解读。他们的行为逻辑可以被概念化为“他律理性”,根据这种理性,一个人的行为选择是基于与他人相比,他是否受到平等和公平的对待。当发现偏离这一标准时,农村农民就有动机进行抗议。本研究进一步考察了这种中国式的农民平均主义形成的时间和方式。

theory of totalitarianism. Feldman deserves huge appreciation for his efforts to comprehend the first-hand traumatic experiences of the interviewed businessmen and professionals in Mao’s China. A lack of theorization and dialogue with the relevant literature has limited the potential of his findings to generalize the idea of pre-totalitarianism, which could enhance our understanding of the global resurgence of autocratization today. This book appeals to political scientists, journalists, as well as scholars and novices specializing in contemporary China studies. Political sociologists, social psychologists, and anthropologists will appreciate the book for its thick description of the everyday life of the business and professional classes in today’s China, despite its limited theorization of collective memory and trauma under Felman’s conceptualization of pretotalitarianism.
极权主义理论。费尔德曼努力理解被采访的商人和专业人士在毛时代的中国的第一手创伤经历,值得高度赞赏。缺乏理论化和与相关文献的对话,限制了他的研究结果概括前极权主义概念的潜力,这可以增强我们对当今全球独裁复兴的理解。这本书吸引了政治学家、记者以及专门研究当代中国的学者和新手。政治社会学家、社会心理学家和人类学家会欣赏这本书,因为它对当今中国商业和专业阶层日常生活的厚实描述,尽管它在费尔曼的前极权主义概念化下对集体记忆和创伤的理论化有限。

at the bottom. Today, these disparate groups of zhiqing, now retired, often organize outings and activities to commemorate their once collective life at the locale where they had been settled. On such occasions these various elderly individuals have a chance to recall the past and to interact with each other. This is when the ‘fault lines along class and ideology’ (p. 209) among them become visible. The high social and/or political groups with pleasant memories of the sent-down days, armed with their social and political capital, do not hide their supercilious contempt for the ordinary zhiqing. These hierarchical social interactions are vividly documented in entertaining detail in Chapter 6, in which a large contingent of former zhiqing who had been settled in the Heilongjiang countryside take a token ‘“New Long March” along the One Belt and One Road’ (p. 212), attempting to relive their Red Guard linking-up movement. These disparate groups of zhiqing do share one commonality – one aspect of their memories aligns with the official portrayal of the zhiqing’s experience, highlighting their youth, contributions, and positive personal qualities of perseverance and determination in the countryside. They have adopted what Xu repeatedly emphasizes is the official pattern of focusing on ‘people but not the event’, similar to museum displays, zhiqing literature, and their autobiographies. However, Xu has not probed for a deeper explanation. My own observations when I interviewed former Red Guards in the 1970s who had been sent down is that introspection would have led them to confront periods and episodes in which they had personally contravened ethical behaviour. Consciously or subconsciously zhiqing writings therefore lack self-reflection. Former good-class Red Guards prefer to remember their heroic self-reliance in the countryside, while some of the middling-class Red Guards and those who were not allowed to join the Red Guards remember themselves as victims for the entire course of their life history.
在底部。今天,这些已经退休的不同群体的知青经常组织郊游和活动,以纪念他们曾经在他们定居的地方的集体生活。在这样的场合,这些不同的老年人有机会回忆过去,并相互交流。这就是他们之间“阶级和意识形态的断层线”(第209页)变得明显的时候。社会和(或)政治上的上层集团,对下乡的日子有着美好的回忆,用他们的社会和政治资本武装起来,毫不掩饰他们对普通知青的傲慢蔑视。第6章生动地记录了这些等级社会互动的有趣细节,其中一大批在黑龙江农村定居的前知青队伍象征性地“沿着一带一路”(第212页)进行“新长征”,试图重温他们的红卫兵联系运动。这些不同的知青群体确实有一个共同点——他们的记忆有一个方面与官方对知青经历的描述一致,突出了他们的年轻、贡献以及在农村坚持不懈和决心的积极个人品质。他们采用了徐反复强调的“以人为本,不以事为本”的官方模式,类似于博物馆展览、知青文学和知青自传。然而,徐并没有探究更深层次的解释。上世纪70年代,当我采访被下放的前红卫兵时,我自己的观察是,内省会让他们面对自己个人违反道德行为的时期和事件。因此,自觉或潜意识的知青写作缺乏自我反思。以前的好阶级红卫兵更愿意记住他们在农村自力更生的英雄事迹,而一些中产阶级红卫兵和那些没有被允许加入红卫兵的人则在他们的整个生命历程中都把自己当作受害者。

central pillar of the state–community interface, attempting – with some success (p. 149) – to provide a space for relatively non-political leisure activity. Another departure from the Russian education model during the first years was in the emphasis on nationalism. In the case of the Chinese elementary schools, the evidence also suggests that adoption of systematic party directives, unlike in publishing, was deferred for a few years. A tentative conclusion to take away from the study is that analysts should pay closer attention to cultural policy, contrary to strong ‘materialist’ approaches that may present the macroeconomic factors as overly determinative. For example, the market reforms of the Deng Xiaoping years, apart from Tiananmen 1989, did correlate with a limited degree of opening. But as the author points out, top–down control over all cultural domains, re-enforced with the inauguration in 2012 of the current regime, leads us to question aspects of the correlation. There is simply little evidence of a parallel democratization accompanying economic liberalization. For a centralist party, governing a oneparty state, first leaning on the Soviet model, and today on its own admittedly unique and highly productive model, based on special national ‘characteristics’, culture is too important. Art and literature are ‘fronts’ (p. 183). Parenthetically, and consistent with the economy–culture mismatch, the recent growing concentration of control within the cultural sphere has been identified as a concern in a number of full democracies. Considering this complicated and controversial question, the book makes an important contribution on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CCP.
国家-社区界面的中心支柱,试图-取得一些成功(第149页)-为相对非政治性的休闲活动提供空间。与俄罗斯教育模式的另一个不同之处是在最初几年里对民族主义的强调。在中国小学的案例中,证据还表明,与出版不同,采用系统性的党的指示推迟了几年。从这项研究中得出的一个初步结论是,分析师应该更密切地关注文化政策,而不是强烈的“唯物主义”方法,这种方法可能会将宏观经济因素表现为过度决定性。但正如作者所指出的那样,对所有文化领域自上而下的控制,随着2012年现政权的就职而加强,使我们质疑这种相关性的各个方面。几乎没有证据表明伴随经济自由化而来的是并行的民主化。对于一个中央集权的政党来说,治理一个一党制国家,首先是依靠苏联模式,今天是基于特殊的民族“特征”,建立自己公认的独特和高效的模式,文化太重要了。艺术和文学是“前线”(第183页)。顺便说一句,与经济-文化不匹配一致的是,最近在文化领域的控制权日益集中已被确定为许多完全民主国家的一个问题。考虑到这一复杂而有争议的问题,本书在中国共产党建党100周年之际做出了重要贡献。

‘villages-in-the-city’ or they become villages-in-the-city engulfed by urban development. Either way, they are developed as ‘villages-as-the-city’ and are functionally unified with the city. In the absence of democratic and moral accountability, it is market incentives, patronage politics, and corruption that prevail to assert ‘the end of the village’, where societal responsibilities for the underprivileged, the displaced, and the deceased are discarded. The analysis pertaining to the state and market impetuses for village development is convincing. Smith could however have further contextualized the production of disjuncture in China’s administrative division system – a hierarchical and nested structure that runs from the centre to the province (or municipality) to the prefecture and to the county. Though Chinese cities were historically bounded by walls and, in contemporary China, by the urban construction boundary of the city proper, their administrative territories overbound large, outlying rural and urban areas that are not functionally connected to the central core. As provincial, prefectural, and county-level administrative seats, cities and towns do not suffer from the jurisdictional fragmentation or contentious political relations of urban and rural areas because the hierarchical ordering of administrative jurisdictions intrinsically transcends the categories of urban and rural. The urban–rural divisions were unambiguously defined under the communist regime to impose new land institutions and a Soviet-style ‘household registration’ (hukou) system. In both the pre-reform and reform eras, however, the disjunctures between urban categories and transformational processes serve the developmental goals of the party-state by leveraging greater jurisdictional power to realize economic rationalization and state modernization. Since the 1990s, the disjunctures have enabled the party-state to relentlessly extract labour, land, and other resources from the rural areas to feed the voracious urban growth. They also facilitate the transfer of an area to a higher jurisdiction, which deepens the power asymmetry between the local party-state and the public, further eliminating the opportunity for the latter to contest urban development processes. In this context, urban–rural coordination, new-type urbanization, and the like, would not only ‘expose this mismatch between [urban] categories and [urban] processes as a feature of urbanization’ (p. 32) but would also be harnessed by the party-state, as an artifice of political imperative, to reconcile or rather obfuscate the tension between scientific rationality and political decisionism. I highly recommend this informative and riveting book to scholars of China studies and urban studies. The book might also be equally appealing to other academics and students who are interested in the inner workings of China’s state-led urbanization (especially how power over land development is negotiated and wielded by acto
“城中村”或者成为被城市发展吞没的城中村。无论哪种方式,它们都是以“城村”的方式发展起来的,并且在功能上与城市统一。在缺乏民主和道德问责的情况下,市场激励、庇护政治和腐败盛行,断言“村庄的终结”,对弱势群体、流离失所者和死者的社会责任被抛弃。有关乡村发展的国家和市场动力的分析是令人信服的。然而,史密斯可以进一步将中国行政区划体系中脱节的产生置于背景中——一个从中央到省(或直辖市)到州和县的等级和嵌套结构。虽然中国的城市在历史上是以城墙为界的,而在当代中国,则是以城市本身的城市建筑边界为界的,但它们的行政领土超出了与中心核心没有功能联系的大片偏远农村和城市地区。作为省、地、县一级的行政机构,城市和城镇不受管辖区域分裂或城乡政治关系争议的影响,因为行政管辖区域的等级排序本质上超越了城乡的范畴。在共产主义政权下,城乡划分被明确界定,以实施新的土地制度和苏联式的“户口”制度。然而,在改革前和改革时期,城市类别和转型过程之间的脱节,通过利用更大的管辖权来实现经济合理化和国家现代化,服务于党国的发展目标。自上世纪90年代以来,这种混乱局面使这个党国国家能够无情地从农村地区榨取劳动力、土地和其他资源,以满足贪婪的城市增长。它们还促进了一个地区向更高的管辖范围的转移,这加深了地方党国与公众之间的权力不对称,进一步消除了后者参与城市发展进程的机会。在这种背景下,城乡协调、新型城市化等等,不仅“暴露了[城市]类别和[城市]过程之间的不匹配,这是城市化的一个特征”(第32页),而且还会被党国利用,作为一种政治命令的技巧,来调和或更确切地说,模糊科学理性与政治决策主义之间的紧张关系。我强烈推荐这本内容丰富、引人入胜的书给中国研究和城市研究的学者。这本书也同样吸引了其他学者和学生,他们对中国国家主导的城市化的内部运作感兴趣(特别是土地开发的权力是如何在党国不同层面的参与者之间进行谈判和行使的),以及它内在的不公平。它生动地记录了中国城市转型的历史,让读者思考中国的城乡关系和融合。

to follow. Somewhat countering the obsession with history and identity, Chapter 9 on ecomuseums sustains the criticism of ‘paying lip service to calls for policy change and [environmental] practices in the name of forging a happy relationship between the locality and the community’ (p. 205). The focus on the Museum of World Religions and the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum in the final chapter is for the reader to reflect on Taiwan’s desire to be integrated with the world and to matter to that world, even if Taiwan’s role can only assert itself on religious and cultural levels. The only weakness of this book is the lack of a more comprehensive discussion of ‘Taiwan’s historical relationship with Japanese imperialism’ (p. 118). The absence of war-related exhibits or a monument commemorating the War of Resistance against Japan (until 1999), given the centrality of military culture to nationalist rule, denies giving Taiwan its own character as a former Japanese colony that was fundamentally different from the years of Japanese occupation on the mainland. But it is precisely in being more concerned with demonstrating the blue camp’s struggle to inject memory into a to date still ‘painfully unsettled war’ (p. 115) that the parallel with the PRC makes for a holistic reading that takes the book beyond a Taiwan-only readership. Given its manifold strengths, I recommend it highly to all readers seriously interested in contemporary issues of war memory, with Asian societies as an entry point.
跟随。第9章关于生态博物馆,在一定程度上反驳了对历史和身份的痴迷,坚持批评“以建立地方和社区之间幸福关系的名义,口头上呼吁政策变革和[环境]实践”(第205页)。最后一章对世界宗教博物馆和故宫博物院南分馆的关注,是为了让读者反思台湾渴望融入世界,并对世界产生影响,即使台湾的角色只能在宗教和文化层面上坚持自己的立场。这本书唯一的缺点是缺乏对“台湾与日本帝国主义的历史关系”的更全面的讨论(第118页)。考虑到军事文化在民族主义统治中的核心地位,台湾在1999年之前一直没有与战争有关的展览或纪念抗日战争的纪念碑,这否认了台湾作为前日本殖民地的特点,这与日本占领大陆的那些年有着根本的不同。但正是由于更关注于展示蓝色阵营努力将记忆注入到一场至今仍“痛苦的未解决的战争”中(第115页),与中华人民共和国的对比使得这本书的整体阅读超越了台湾的读者。鉴于它的多重优势,我强烈推荐给所有对当代战争记忆问题感兴趣的读者,以亚洲社会为切入点。

Somewhat countering the obsession with history and identity, Chapter 9 on ecomuseums sustains the criticism of ‘paying lip service to calls for policy change and [environmental] practices in the name of forging a happy relationship between the locality and the community’ (p. 205). The focus on the Museum of World Religions and the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum in the final chapter is for the reader to reflect on Taiwan’s desire to be integrated with the world and to matter to that world, even if Taiwan’s role can only assert itself on religious and cultural levels. The only weakness of this book is the lack of a more comprehensive discussion of ‘Taiwan’s historical relationship with Japanese imperialism’ (p. 118). The absence of war-related exhibits or a monument commemorating the War of Resistance against Japan (until 1999), given the centrality of military culture to nationalist rule, denies giving Taiwan its own character as a former Japanese colony that was fundamentally different from the years of Japanese occupation on the mainland. But it is precisely in being more concerned with demonstrating the blue camp’s struggle to inject memory into a to date still ‘painfully unsettled war’ (p. 115) that the parallel with the PRC makes for a holistic reading that takes the book beyond a Taiwan-only readership.
