记忆的政治
该书是南京大学周海燕副教授历经七年、通过多次多地实地研究和扎实文献研究完成的博士论文。 Elizabeth J. Perry(哈佛大学政治系讲座教授、哈佛燕京学社社长)、 Nicola Spakowski(德国弗赖堡大学社会学教授)、周晓虹(南京大学社会学院院长)三位 先生为该书作推荐并代序: 就当代中国政治及社会史研究而言,周海燕关于大生产运动的著作,有着杰出的贡献。关于党治如何掌控民众对复杂历史事件的记忆,周著阐明了它的基本模式与诸种内涵,其意义远超个案研究。 这一运动的过程,是关于威权统治与政权合法性的宝贵课程;对毛时代的中国如此,对后毛时代的中国亦复如是。 ——哈佛-燕京学社社长、政治学教授Elizabeth J. Perry(裴宜理) 大生产运动是中国共运史的一个转折点:在战争中形成的政治结构和政治模式,后来成为战后中国社会的核心特征。然而,我们对这场运动知之甚少,甚至于那些我们笃信不疑的事实,也不过是在宣传“南泥湾精神”的过程中建构起来的诸种神话的一部分。 周海燕的著作改变了这一状况,她用关于政体合法性和记忆政治的分析框架,向我们叙述了一个真实的大生产运动,以及党是如何将“南泥湾精神”作为政治工具和政治建构、以动员民众达成诸种目的的过程。 从三五九旅,到英雄的模板化、政治口号的创造,再到历次唤起“南泥湾精神”的热潮,直到当下作为商业工具的“红色旅游”,周著还延展了南泥湾的完整叙事。 通过展现一场著名政经运动的建构与再建构,《记忆的政治:大生产运动再发现》透视了共产主义中国的历史。该书堪称学术著作之典范:言其中肯,察其关键,思之明悟,读之愉悦。 ——弗莱堡大学汉学系主任、历史学教授Nicola Spakowski(史明) 以社会记忆和话语分析理论为基本框架,围绕1940年代初陕甘宁边区的“大生产运动”及其后形成的各类叙事文本作话语分析,周海燕厘清了有关“大生产运动”的社会记忆不断被建构的过程,揭示了权力和话语在其间相互纠缠的关系,并对大生产运动及其相关记忆进行了相当深刻的解读。 凭借丰富的田野资料和历史文献,作者确证了一个堪称精湛的解释框架。在这一框架之下,“大生产运动”不仅是中国共产党为解救因经济困难而面临的政治合法性危机所做的战时应急性政治动员,同时也是运用“劳动”手段对人群进行社会改造和社会控制的基本过程。在此基础上,作者揭示了“自力更生、艰苦奋斗”、“组织起来”、“鱼水清深”和“官兵一致、人人平等”等核心语义代码,是如何建构大生产记忆的核心——“南泥湾精神”的。 ——南京大学社会学院院长、教育部“长江学者”特聘教授周晓虹 -
On China
In this sweeping and insightful history, Henry Kissinger turns for the first time at book-length to a country he has known intimately for decades, and whose modern relations with the West he helped shape. Drawing on historical records as well as his conversations with Chinese leaders over the past forty years, Kissinger examines how China has approached diplomacy, strategy, and negotiation throughout its history, and reflects on the consequences for the global balance of power in the 21st century. Since no other country can claim a more powerful link to its ancient past and classical principles, any attempt to understand China's future world role must begin with an appreciation of its long history. For centuries, China rarely encountered other societies of comparable size and sophistication; it was the "Middle Kingdom," treating the peoples on its periphery as vassal states. At the same time, Chinese statesmen-facing threats of invasion from without, and the contests of competing factions within-developed a canon of strategic thought that prized the virtues of subtlety, patience, and indirection over feats of martial prowess. In On China, Kissinger examines key episodes in Chinese foreign policy from the classical era to the present day, with a particular emphasis on the decades since the rise of Mao Zedong. He illuminates the inner workings of Chinese diplomacy during such pivotal events as the initial encounters between China and modern European powers, the formation and breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, Richard Nixon's historic trip to Beijing, and three crises in the Taiwan Straits. Drawing on his extensive personal experience with four generation of Chinese leaders, he brings to life towering figures such as Mao, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, revealing how their different visions have shaped China's modern destiny. With his singular vantage on U.S.-China relations, Kissinger traces the evolution of this fraught but crucial relationship over the past 60 years, following its dramatic course from estrangement to strategic partnership to economic interdependence, and toward an uncertain future. With a final chapter on the emerging superpower's 21st-century world role, On China provides an intimate historical perspective on Chinese foreign affairs from one of the premier statesmen of the 20th century. -
The Rise and Decline of Nations
The years since World War II have seen rapid shifts in the relative positions of different countries and regions. Leading political economist Mancur Olson offers a new and compelling theory to explain these shifts in fortune and then tests his theory against evidence from many periods of history and many parts of the world. “[T]his elegant, readable book. . . sets out to explain why economies succumb to the ‘British disease,’ the kind of stagnation and demoralization that is now sweeping Europe and North America. . . . A convincing book that could make a big difference in the way we think about modern economic problems.”—Peter Passell, The New York Times Book Review “Schumpeter and Keynes would have hailed the insights Olson gives into the sicknesses of the modern mixed economy.”—Paul A. Samuelson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology “One of the really important books in social science of the past half-century.”—Scott Gordon, The Canadian Journal of Economics “The thesis of this brilliant book is that the longer a society enjoys political stability, the more likely it is to develop powerful special-interest lobbies that in turn make it less efficient economically.”—Charles Peters, The Washington Monthly “Remarkable. The fundamental ideas are simple, yet they provide insight into a wide array of social and historical issues. . . . The Rise and Decline of Nations promises to be a subject of productive interdisciplinary argument for years to come.”—Robert O. Keohane, Journal of Economic Literature “I urgently recommend it to all economists and to a great many non-economists.”—Gordon Tullock, Public Choice “Olson’s theory is illuminating and there is no doubt that The Rise and Decline of Nations will exert much influence on ideas and politics for many decades to come.”—Pierre Lemieux, Reason Co-winner of the 1983 American Political Science Association’s Gladys M. Kammerer Award for the best book on U.S. national policy -
Democracy in America
From America's call for a free press to its embrace of the capitalist system, Democracy in America--first published in 1835--enlightens, entertains, and endures as a brilliant study of our national government and character. Philosopher John Stuart Mill called it "among the most remarkable productions of our time." Woodrow Wilson wrote that de Tocqueville's ability to illuminate the actual workings of American democracy was "possibly without rival." For today's readers, de Tocqueville's concern about the effect of majority rule on the rights of individuals remains deeply meaningful. His shrewd observations about the "almost royal prerogatives" of the president and the need for virtue in elected officials are particularly prophetic. His profound insights into the great rewards and responsibilities of democratic government are words every American needs to read, contemplate, and remember.
