《“心上”的日子：关于西和乞巧的情感人类学研究》是一本情感人类学方面的民族志，尝试将西方情感人类学理论运用到中国的经验研究中，同时借此反思西方人类学对中国人情感生活的表述，并在经验研究的基础上提炼出一对地方性概念——"心上"与"狂耍"。 《“心上”的日子：关于西和乞巧的情感人类学研究》的民族志考察对象为甘肃省西和县的乞巧，作者严格遵从了人类学的研究方法，在西和县完成了为期一年的田野调查。全书的主体部分按照西和乞巧的仪式过程依次展开，在关注鲜活的仪式参与者的前提下，西和乞巧仪式展示出了兼具祭神和娱乐的双重性，也展示出仪式参与者在不同生活情境中的两种相辅相成又充满张力的情感类型，即"定向性情感"和在本书中发现和命名的"非定向性情感"，从中可以看到西和人如何通过仪式活动释放在日常生活和社会生活中被压抑的情感，以及他们如何通过类似乞巧的其他文化活动来关注自己的"心上"。 《“心上”的日子：关于西和乞巧的情感人类学研究》在结论部分指出，"非定向性情感"的提出是强调要将人作为整体来看待，这是对理性主义的一种反思，同时也在于指出情感自觉的重要性以及社会主体生成的可能性。

《万象共生中的族群与民族》对国内外有关“族群”和“民族”的概念和理论进行了全面的梳理和分析，并将其置于人类日常的生活和社 会实践之中进行研究，认为族群和民族不可能单靠想象来建构，更不可能无中生有；族群和民族的建构要依赖符号认知和历史记忆，更要依赖日常生活和社会实践， 尤其是耳濡目染的形物，更是不可忽略。笔者在书中批判性地运用美国指号学家皮尔斯的三元理论来研究族群和民族关系问题，指出各个族群和各个民族只能以协商 互利来求得和谐共生，摆脱二元对立，走第三条道路，由二生三。这种“三”的折中照顾了历史，照顾了差异，也照顾了发展，它指向万物归一，使人们有可能跨越 个人、家族、部落、民族、种族、国家、地区，认识到各个民族首先是生命体，他们相互之间以及和周围的各种生命和非生命现象之间可以共生并存，各自以对方为 生存环境，达致“美美与共”的境界。

《族群与边界》是一部族群研究的典范性著作，标志着族群研究的一个新的时代。 本书是巴斯主编的一本论文集，书中巴斯及其他学者把族群互动作为讨论的中心并研究族群认同的互联性以及族群边界和文化认同问题。同时提出并实践了族群研究的一种新方法，即通过不同人类群体的持续的协商和接触来解决边界问题。《族群与边界》开启了人类学关于族群、族群认同等问题的广泛讨论，延续至今。

本书是界于神话故事和侦探小说之间的轻松读物，作者通过北美地区印第安人部落中流传的一个关于猞猁的故事，从简单到复杂，从北美到南美及欧亚非洲等地，讲述了几十个神话故事，并通过这些神话间的关联，试图解释现实世界中的一些理论问题。

《文化人类学视野中的现代日本地域艺术文化研究--以蕨座剧团为个案》由侯越所著，本书图文并茂，主要从研究日本蕨座剧团的社会实践研究入手，通过分析日本蕨座剧团的成立、发展及其成长过程中经历的风风雨雨，讲述了这个剧团创作演出的很多音乐剧，从而系统分析现代日本地域艺术文化的现状和发展趋势，具有一定学术价值。

开展中国民族学田野调查，是中国早期民族学研究的一项重要工作。凌纯声是中国当代著名的民族学家、人类学家，在民族学中国化的前进道路上，他迈开的第一步就是进行松花江下游的民族调查，其成果《松花江下游的赫哲族》为中国民族学树立了一块具有开创性的历史丰碑，堪称中国民族学田野工作的起点。为中国民族学调查研究树立了模范的样板。

Has China become just another capitalist country in a socialist cloak? Will the Chinese Communist Party's rule survive the next ten years of modernization and globalization? Frank Pieke investigates these conundrums in this fascinating account of how government officials are trained for placement in the Chinese Communist Party. Through in-depth interviews with staff members and aspiring trainees, he shows that while the Chinese Communist Party has undergone a radical transformation since the revolutionary years under Mao, it is still incumbent upon cadres, who are selected through a highly rigorous process, to be ideologically and politically committed to the party. It is the lessons learnt through their teachers that shape the political and economic decisions they will make in power. The book offers unique insights into the structure and the ideological culture of the Chinese government, and how it has reinvented itself over the last three decades as a neo-socialist state.

《时空穿行(中国乡村人类学世纪回访)》对20世纪80年代以来中国云南大理西镇、广东潮州凤凰村、华南茶山等八个代表性乡村田野进行调查，探讨了中国乡村文化的多样性、宗族制度、农民社会等课题。

本书采用随笔的写法，通过图文并茂的形式传达来自田野的文化信息。在注重细节真实和情节生动的同时讲求文字简洁流畅；对图片的处理，力求用有形的设计来表现无形的语言，使图片和文字有机地结合，相得益彰，体现了传统与现代的完美统一。本书讲述的是在田野考察中发生的故事与感受，记录的是在田野考察中采访的人和事。其最大的优点在于能够让田野中的人与物活起来，让田野中的景和情动起来，读者听到的不仅是调查者个人的独白，还能听到来自访谈对象的声音；读者了解到的不仅是调查者考察的结果，而且能看到调查者与被调查者在考察中的互动与交流，并带给读者许许多多来自田野的文化信息以及强烈的心灵共鸣，从而使读者能够跟随作者一起行走在文化的田野上。 本书是《文化田野图文系列丛书·西部田野书系》中的一册，是在对云南中甸金沙江边一个典型的多民族聚居村落缜密的田野调查基础上撰写而成的。作者延承了人类学对家族、信仰等的经典探讨，又对地方文献、文物、口碑资料进行饶有兴致的调查考证，还对今日地方族群生活常态及社区文化变迁有着细致、有趣的描述。作者首次总结了当地的“家号”体系，提出了“家族袭夺”等新的概念，最后分析了地方社区历史变迁的分期范式。

This book examines major areas of late imperial Chinese culture, and their relation to Chinese culture today, focusing on the competence and sophistication of ordinary people. The work provides an overview of late imperial society and its responses to forces for change. Its ethnographically rich treatment of changes in family life under Communist rule is based on the author's fieldwork. Kinship beyond the family is treated through comparisons of the author's fieldwork sites in China and Taiwan. In dealing with the use of contracts and commodification within one community setting, it illuminates the broader economic culture of late imperial China. This book powerfully confirms that China's modernity has deep roots in its own tradition, and in doing so offers an excellent introduction to the anthropological view of China.

China Urban is an ethnographic account of China’s cities and the place that urban space holds in China’s imagination. In addition to in vestigating this nation’s rapidly changing urban landscape, its contributors emphasize the need to rethink the very meaning of the “urban” and the utility of urban-focused anthropological critiques during a period of unprecedented change on local, regional, national, and global levels. Through close attention to everyday lives and narratives and with a particular focus on gender, market, and spatial practices, this collection stresses that, in the case of China, rural life and the impact of socialism must be considered in order to fully comprehend the urban. Individual essays note the impact of legal barriers to geographic mobility in China, the proliferation of different urban centers, the different distribution of resources among various regions, and the pervasive appeal of the urban, both in terms of living in cities and in acquiring products and conventions signaling urbanity. Others focus on the direct sales industry, the Chinese rock music market, the discursive production of femininity and motherhood in urban hospitals, and the transformations in access to healthcare. China Urban will interest anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, and those studying urban planning, China, East Asia, and globalization.

To make a place is to create a location where its creators can feel they belong. Processes of place-making are still very much ongoing today. Geographers, sociologists, political scientists and philosophers of advanced capitalism have said that place is a localisation of the global. However, the creation of a place is not legible from such grand perspectives. It is also much more creative than can be predicted by translating large-scale processes into local cultures. Anthropologists have been sensitive to the intimate, tragic and lyrical senses of local place. But their theorising has been too much bound up with cosmology and insufficiently with the intermediate scales of state and local state. In this book, Stephan Feuchtwang and his contributors offer a set of historical, anthropological and scale-mediated studies from China - a country that includes a subcontinental variety of cultures and landscapes. In the twentieth century it experienced collapse in civil war and was then reasserted as a particularly strong state. Now it is managing the fastest growing capitalist economy in the world. These intriguing Chinese studies contribute to the anthropology of place and space, providing an historical perspective on processes of change and of accommodation to disruption. The stories they tell are fascinating in their own right, but in addition, the result is a critical reformulation of previous theories of place that geographers, philosophers, historians, and anthropologists will find of great interest.

This powerful study immerses the reader in the world of homelessness and drug addiction in the contemporary United States. For over a decade Philippe Bourgois and Jeff Schonberg followed a social network of two dozen heroin injectors and crack smokers on the streets of San Francisco, accompanying them as they scrambled to generate income through burglary, panhandling, recycling, and day labor. "Righteous Dopefiend" interweaves stunning black-and-white photographs with vivid dialogue, detailed field notes, and critical theoretical analysis.Its gripping narrative develops a cast of characters around the themes of violence, race relations, sexuality, family trauma, embodied suffering, social inequality, and power relations. The result is a dispassionate chronicle of survival, loss, caring, and hope rooted in the addicts' determination to hang on for one more day and one more 'fix' through a 'moral economy of sharing' that precariously balances mutual solidarity and interpersonal betrayal.

While many have studied China’s recent rise as an economic power, China itself does not exist solely in the economic realm. Ordinary Chinese still place intense value on moral obligations and the nature of the social ties that connect them to others. This study explores the moral sphere as a key to understanding how rural Chinese experience and talk about their lives in this period of rapid economic transformation. Ellen Oxfeld, who spent time in a village in southeast China’s Guangdong Province over the course of a decade and a half, examines both continuities and changes in the local culture. Although some have suggested that the reform period in China has been characterized by moral cynicism, Oxfeld finds that villagers appeal to a vibrant array of moral discourses when choosing a path of personal action or evaluating the behavior of others.
