Through window displays, newspapers, soap operas, gay bars, and other public culture venues, Chinese citizens are negotiating what it means to be cosmopolitan citizens of the world, with appropriate needs, aspirations, and longings. Lisa Rofel argues that the creation of such “desiring subjects” is at the core of China’s contingent, piece-by-piece reconfiguration of its relationship to a post-socialist world. In a study at once ethnographic, historical, and theoretical, she contends that neoliberal subjectivities are created through the production of various desires—material, sexual, and affective—and that it is largely through their engagements with public culture that people in China are imagining and practicing appropriate desires for the post-Mao era.Drawing on her research over the past two decades among urban residents and rural migrants in Hangzhou and Beijing, Rofel analyzes the meanings that individuals attach to various public cultural phenomena and what their interpretations say about their understandings of post-socialist China and their roles within it. She locates the first broad-based public debate about post-Mao social changes in the passionate dialogues about the popular 1991 television soap opera Yearnings. She describes how the emergence of gay identities and practices in China reveals connections to a transnational network of lesbians and gay men at the same time that it brings urban/rural and class divisions to the fore. The 1999–2001 negotiations over China’s entry into the World Trade Organization; a controversial women’s museum; the ways that young single women portray their longings in relation to the privations they imagine their mothers experienced; adjudications of the limits of self-interest in court cases related to homoerotic desire, intellectual property, and consumer fraud—Rofel reveals all of these as sites where desiring subjects come into being.

《中国北方村落的社会性别与权力》作者在1986-1990年对山东省三个村落的田野调查的基础上，系统分析了各个社区对改革作出的迥然不同反应，并详尽地剖析了中国农村经济改革对北方农村妇女地位、生产活动及社会关系的深刻影响。这一研究表明，尽管在家族领域甚至在家庭企业中妇女的境遇已大为改观，但在更广阔的社会舞台上，尤其是在村政府和村级集体企业中男性仍垄断了几乎所有的主要职位，从而令人信服地揭示了社会。性别与权力关系在婚姻家庭、就业、参政、社会组织与网络等诸多私人和社会生活领域的运作与流变。

《都市里的农家女(性别流动与社会变迁)》是有关20世纪末加入大规模城市流动——包括流动到北京和其他城市的中国农村女性经验的一项迷人研究。它在深度民族志研究的基础上，试图理解流动者本身是如何体验流动的。作者集中关注从农村到城市的流动者，特别是女性流动者的经验，关注她们谈论那些经验的独特方式，以及那些经验如何影响了她们的认同意识。通过对都市里的农家女的一手材料的说明，作者提供了关于农村女性与城/乡经验之间如何协调的有价值见解，以及这些经验如何影响她们的世界观、价值观和人际关系的方式。《都市里的农家女(性别流动与社会变迁)》对于我们理解社会性别与社会变迁之间的关系，以及全球化与现代化如何在最个人的层面上得到体验的方式，作出了重要的贡献。
