内容简介
 · · · · · ·

Each successive wave of revolution to hit modern China-political, cultural, and economic-has radically reshaped Chinese society. Whereas patriarchy defined the familial social structure for thousands of years, changing realities in the last hundred years have altered and even reversed long-held expectations. Transforming Patriarchy explores the private and public dimensions of these changes in present-day China. Patriarchy is not dead, but it is no longer the default arrangement for Chinese families: Daughters-in-law openly berate their fathers-in-law. Companies sell filial-piety insurance. Many couples live together before marriage, and in some parts of rural China, almost all brides are pregnant.

Drawing on a multitude of sources and perspectives, this volume turns to the intimate territory of the family to challenge prevailing scholarly assumptions about gender and generational hierarchies in Chinese society. Case studies examine factors such as social class, geography, and globalization as they relate to patriarchal practice and resistance to it. The contributors bring the concept of patriarchy back to the heart of China studies while rethinking its significance in dominant Western-centric theories of modernity.

打算作为核心参考书目，导读和大部分章节都很喜欢

朋友推荐。真没想到我目前读过的最翔实且有针对性的关于当下中国男权的书，竟然是本大部分都是外国学者所著的集子。这本书有意思的地方是很多叙事部分你略略扫过就可以了，因为发生的具体事情就是国人日常。看完conclusion之后，又恍然大悟，原来是这样的么！然后自己回答自己，是的原来是这样的。

12章孝道的商品化

性别和代际两条线讲交叉性，不论是材料还是理论都略有陈旧感…
