Governing Death, Making Persons: The New Chinese Way of Death
商品簡介
Governing Death, Making Persons tells the story of how economic reforms and changes in the management of death, in China, affected the governance of persons. The Chinese Communist Party has sought to channel the funeral industry and death rituals into vehicles for reshaping people into modern citizens and subjects. Since the Reform and Opening period and the marketization of state funeral parlors, the Party has promoted personalized funerals in the hope of promoting a market-oriented and individualistic ethos. However, things did not go as planned.
Huwy-min Lucia Liu writes about funerals she witnessed and the life stories of two kinds of funeral workers: state workers who are quasi-government officials and semi-legal private funeral brokers. She shows that end-of-life commemoration in urban China today is characterized by the resilience of social conventions and not a shift toward market economy individualization. Rather than seeing a rise of individualism and the decline of a socialist self, Liu sees the durability of socialist, religious, communal, and relational ideas of self, woven together through creative ritual framings in spite of their contradictions.
