Just Merit: Authoritarian-Caring Parenting Style in China and the Challenge of Inequality and Hierarchy in Late Post-Revolutionary Societies
The radical transformation of Chinese society in the previous decades has greatly improved the material lives of most people, but has also led to skyrocketing levels of inequality, and has subjected Chinese youths to unprecedented levels of socio-economic competition. Helping them to succeed in this competitive world necessitates both care and control from their families. This is evident in their scholarly education, but also in the pressure they…
Marrying the perfect child - Middle class norms and intergenerational arrangements in the marriage corners of urban China
Caught in the context of a highly competitive development process, within the framework of a policy which limited their reproductive capacity to a single child, PRC urban families have, in recent decades, attached growing importance to their child's education, aiming to lead them to professional and personal success. This, however, also had an impact on the capacities of many young adults to marry early. In this context, the phenomenon of "marria…
The Paradoxical Agora: The Social and the Political in between the People in the Marriage Corners of China
Where is the political located? Since the early 2000s, the phenomenon of ‘marriage corners’ has mushroomed in city parks all over China. It consists of public gatherings attended by middle- to upper-middle-class parents attempting to find a partner for their child. The competitiveness of these gatherings and the vocabulary used by the participants when evaluating each other reflect political tensions of Chinese society without articulating them. …
A question of bank notes, cars, and houses!' Matchmaking and the Moral Economy of Love in Urban China
Chinese practices of matchmaking have been controversial for over a century. Their continued transformations reveal a complex nexus of sentimental and material dimensions in the marriage-decision process at the heart of the negotiations between families and in their selections of proper candidates. This interplay between personal sentiments, concrete considerations, and the desire for success makes marriage controversial, as 'love' is claimed and…
Morality and desire. Sexuality, gender and inequality in contemporary China
La période de réformes économiques qui s’est ouverte à partir des années 1980 en Chine a été associée de manière récurrente à la fois à une période de libération sexuelle et de réaffirmation des identités sexuées. Prostitution et pornographie ont gagné une place publique de plus en plus prégnante, par la généralisation de pratiques de corruption au service de décideurs masculins. Le débat public chinois a dans ce contexte produit une critique sév…
Forum: Commodifying the “Wild”: Anxiety, Ecology and Authenticity in the Late Modern Era
Anxieties about species extinction, habitat loss, and climate change attributed to the uninhibited commodification of nature-the "massive anthropogenic erosion of biodiversity"-are a theme of our times, marking the Anthropocene. 1 Some of the most acute and severe expressions of ecological guilt and "endangerment sensibilities," expressed in the media and the social and cultural sciences alike, revolve around the waning of "wild" fauna, flora, an…
La réinvention des marieuses: Ethnographie d’une agence matrimoniale en Chine urbaine
Les marieuses sont en Chine une institution sociale ancienne. Elles furent longtemps imposées par l'État impérial afin de contrôler les mœurs et les familles. Considérées comme un frein à l'émancipation des nouvelles générations au début du xxe siècle, et donc comme l'une des causes du retard chinois, elles furent par la suite interdites par le régime communiste. La pratique de l'intermédiation matrimoniale n'a cependant jamais vraiment cessé et …
The Affective Scope: Entering China's Urban Moral and Economic World Through Its Emotional Disturbances
From an outsider's perspective, today's Popular China might appear as a self-confident and triumphant country. However, a large-scale examination of the country's recent moral controversies reveals a very different picture, one that has much to do with the widespread local public perception of an ongoing "moral crisis" (Kleinman et al., 2011), whose examination requires careful attention placed on the ethical and affective aspects of the everyday…
Politiques de l’amour et du sexe dans la Chine de la « révolution sexuelle »
Cet article questionne la pertinence de l’emploi du terme de « révolution sexuelle » à propos des évolutions des pratiques sexuelles des jeunes Chinois-es ayant grandis dans la Chine des réformes économiques lancées dans les années 1980. Il propose une perspective historique sur les évolutions de l’encadrement social de la sexualité en Chine au cours du vingtième siècle. Puis il s’attache à montrer la façon dont, loin de constituer une « libérati…
