下沉与应对:村落政治运作的真实图像?——杜赞奇《文化、权力与国家》述评

Submergence and Reply: A True Image of the Operation of the Village Politics——a review on Prasenjit Duara'book "culture、power and state"

杜赞奇的“权力的文化网络”研究为透视国家权力何以下沉乡村社会提供了一个解释平台,乡村社会的文化网络资源成为国家政权建设时期权力下沉的重要通道,但对国家政权为何要借用乡村文化网络资源的说明则显单薄,村落在应对国家权力扩张中的状态与举措又缺乏足够交代,从而使其研究难以呈现村落政治运作的真实图像。

The research of cultural nexus of power presided by Prasenjit Duara offers a platform to observe how the country power submerges into village. Cultural nexus of power becomes a important passage for the power submergence during the period of the construction of regime, but the explication of the reason why the country power relise to the cultural nexus of power seems thin and weak. The state and act of village to reply to the power expansion was lack of expounding. It is difficult for his research to present the true image on the operation of the village politics.
