内容简介
······

Parents in China greatly value higher education for their children, but the intensity and effects of their desire to achieve this goal have largely gone unexamined—until now. Governing Educational Desire explores the cultural, political, and economic origins of Chinese desire for a college education as well as its vast consequences, which include household and national economic priorities, birthrates, ethnic relations, and patterns of governance.

Where does this desire come from? Andrew B. Kipnis approaches this question in four different ways. First, he investigates the role of local context by focusing on family and community dynamics in one Chinese county, Zouping. Then, he widens his scope to examine the provincial and national governmental policies that affect educational desire. Next, he explores how contemporary governing practices were shaped by the Confucian examination system, uncovering the historical forces at work in the present. Finally, he looks for the universal in the local, considering the ways aspects of educational desire in Zouping spread throughout China and beyond. In doing so, Kipnis provides not only an illuminating analysis of education in China but also a thought-provoking reflection on what educational desire can tell us about the relationship between culture and government.

文献做得很好啊

关注人的教育欲望及政府对欲望的治理，从“欲望”切入人的教育狂热。这种情感面向的分析现在依旧不多见。作者似乎是想摆脱结构视角，直面被治理的主体。但这个操作就有个问题，即治理主体依旧是“结构”。不仅如此，这个“结构”还是如此的全能，将被治理者的欲望全然在其操控之中。也因此，书中看似分析了欲望，关照了主体，但其实并无主体，所谓的欲望着的主体实际是结构的欲望客体。另，作者highlight的自己的文化分析…
