主講：Donald M. Nonini 教授

時間：2016年5月12日周四 19：30-21：30

地點：中山大學南校區人類學系馬丁堂二樓講學廳

主講簡介：Donald M. Nonini博士，北卡羅來納大學查珀爾希爾分校人類學教授，都市與政治人類學家，曾任美國城市國家與跨國人類學協會主席。 Donald M. Nonini教授最新著作為 “Getting by”: Class and State Formation among Chinese in Malaysia. 

内容簡介： This talk describes the founding of a worker’s “society” among ethnic Chinese in 1978 in a market town in West Malaysia, and how this was possible during the Cold War period, during which ethnic Chinese were suffering strongly from political and legal discrimination by the state in Malaysia.  In order to explain this phenomenon, it is necessary to recover the history of “The Emergency” in Malaysia, during which public politics not only made it difficult to publicly discuss the insurgency of the Malayan Communist Party (Ma Gong) or the colonial state’s counterinsurgency, but also to discuss class inequality and how it affected Chinese and other workers in Malaysia.  Moreover, the talk describes how anthropology played its own modest role in the disappearance of the Chinese working class from everyday discourse in postcolonial Malaysia.
