Sex, Law, and Society in Late Imperial Chinaepub,mobi,azw3格式电子书下载，作者：Matthew H. Sommer-读书派

This study of the regulation of sexuality in the Qing dynasty explores the social context for sexual behavior criminalized by the state, arguing that the eighteenth century in China was a time of profound change in sexual matters. During this time, the basic organizing principle for state regulation of sexuality shifted away from status, under which members of different groups had long been held to distinct standards of familial and sexual morality. In its place, a new regime of gender mandated a uniform standard of sexual morality and criminal liability across status boundaries—all people were expected to conform to gender roles defined in terms of marriage.

This shift in the regulation of sexuality, manifested in official treatment of charges of adultery, rape, sodomy, widow chastity, and prostitution, represented the imperial state’s efforts to cope with disturbing social and demographic changes. Anachronistic status categories were discarded to accommodate a more fluid social structure, and the state initiated new efforts to enforce rigid gender roles and thus to shore up the peasant family against a swelling underclass of single, rogue males outside the family system. These men were demonized as sexual predators who threatened the chaste wives and daughters (and the young sons) of respectable households, and a flood of new legislation targeted them for suppression.

In addition to presenting official and judicial actions regarding sexuality, the book tells the story of people excluded from accepted patterns of marriage and household who bonded with each other in unorthodox ways (combining sexual union with resource pooling and fictive kinship) to satisfy a range of human needs. This previously invisible dimension of Qing social practice is brought into sharp focus by the testimony, gleaned from local and central court archives, of such marginalized people as peasants, laborers, and beggars.

污の学术，封面姦字吓人却暗指三种主要事件：强奸（何谓女性节烈，何谓用强等秩序界限），合奸（婚外性行为冲击婚姻秩序），鸡奸（男男性行为法律界定、对基于男性家长制的社会秩序和男性气概污染等）。除借福柯性史还有保卫社会概念，略中西二元对立之理想型认定清朝极力维持家长制、稳定婚姻、财产分配和个人处于国家管治道德教化家庭组织三元规范秩序内，长时段耕地减少、人口增长、地方社会纽带崩解造成男性贫穷流民增多，冲击差序等级和家长制，迫使国家新规训手段从地位转向性别秩序，压抑女性（守贞为良、反抗强奸为节烈、通奸犯罪、卖淫犯罪、寡妇守丧不得再嫁和财产分配受歧视），重新界定男性可接受性行为（强奸重罚，丈夫对妻子可用强，嫖娼犯法），寡妇财产分配注重平衡利益，力图塑造基于性的新秩序也塑造接受性规训与一系列规训的被治者。

头一次有种看书时感到被作者爱着的感觉（或许只是我看书太少了）。能把 -身体的-历史-上升到-政治-层面而且重点是论证-流畅-详实-词汇又不高阶让我这种菜鸟都能读下去，真是很棒了。
