具體描述

An inkstone, a piece of polished stone no bigger than an outstretched hand, is an instrument for grinding ink, a collectible object of art, a token of exchange between friends or sovereign states, and an inscriptional surface on which texts and images are carved and reproduced. As such the inkstone is entangled with the production of elite masculinity and the culture of wen (culture, literature, civility) in China, Korea, and Japan for over a millennium. Curiously, this ubiquitous object in East Asia is virtually unknown in Europe and America.

The Social Life of Inkstones introduces its hidden history and cultural significance to scholars and collectors and in so doing, writes the stonecutters and artisans into history. Each of the five chapters is set in a specific place in disparate parts of the empire: the imperial workshops in the Forbidden City, the Duan quarries in Guangdong, inkstonecarving workshops in Suzhou and elsewhere in the south, and collectors’ homes in Fujian. Taken together, they trace the trajectories of the inkstone between court and society, and through the course of its entire social life. In bringing to life the people involved in making, using, collecting, and writing about the inkstone, this study shows the powerful emotional and technical investments that such a small object engendered.

This first book-length study of inkstones focuses on a group of inkstone carvers and collectors, highlighting the work of Gu Erniang, a woman transitioned the artistry of inkstone-making to modernity between the 1680s and 1730s. The sophistication of these artisans and the craft practice of the scholars associated with them announced a new social order in which the age-old hierarchy of head over hand no longer predominated.

##結構比較寫意,文字清晰易讀,寓觀點於行文中。明顯是事業有成以後的作品,字裏行間不忌諱材料缺失和存在的漏洞,信心十足。因為資料所限,隻能談到顧二娘的作坊,也是用的與她往來的文人的記錄。但諸如肇慶黃山村裏的那些在自傢院子裏雕刻硯颱的婦女所掌握的工匠的知識,就很難展現瞭。正因為著筆在和文人相交、為文人追捧的顧二娘,所以她所具備的工藝技術必然帶上瞭“文”的印記。

##craft of wen, materiality of body. 在反思一點,對形式分析的利用可以導嚮風格序列的建立(方聞)、可以揭示“愉悅感”的建構方式(喬迅)、或是展現宗教思想與實踐的轉嚮(金珍我)。但在作者這裏,對形式的描述與感官的喚起缺乏更為明確的錨點:個人很喜歡她對劉源造硯的分析,很好地展現齣清初宮廷對機巧的崇尚,但在顧二娘相關的分析中,由於現存材料極度稀薄,精細的分析也隻能淪作散兵遊勇。作者似乎想要通過對硯颱的仔細觀察與描述來展現齣這一時期人們對物質性及技藝的關注,進而試圖為艾爾曼的“理學到樸學”演進找到更早的潛流。然而,小小的硯颱是否能直接承受如此之重的轉嚮——如何彌閤感官與思想間的鴻溝,對古代身體經驗的當代重構是否也成為瞭一種霸權?觀察與體驗很重要,但這僅僅是第一步。

##完整讀一遍還是有很大收獲的,材料組織能力非常值得學習。迴過頭來說,仍然是個非常史傢的視角,一方麵是科學史和對工匠群體的關注,另一方麵是一種很曆史嚮的物質文化觀察(福州那章裏談ownership的部分可以和Renata Ago寫羅馬的研究對讀)。雖是關注硯颱,但最後似乎還是更多落在硯颱勾連起的人際社會關係上,對實物本身多方位的進一步追究大概就要算藝術史傢的工作瞭。另外這種multi-sited biography的寫法還可以在方法論上再做檢討,尤其是當同種框架落實到全球尺度上該如何來做,所謂biography還是應該實驗多種寫法是更好的。
