【黥:紋身的士兵與宋代刑罰-軍制複合體】
本書是一部關於 #宋代 基層士兵的社會史,他們絕大多數都可藉由 #紋身 辨識其身份。紋身在歷史記載中常被忽略,但紋身是宋代世界不可抹滅的面向。而它的無所不在性,又與刑罰-軍制複合體的興起密切相關,這是一套龐大的社會控制、戰爭與勞動體系。
雖然關於宋代與其軍事歷史的制度、戰略、政治層面已有諸多作品,本書是首部查考為國奮戰人們的生活的專書。樂永天(Elad Alyagon,獨立學者,漢學研究中心2012年度獎助訪問學人)檢視軍隊作為被邊緣化的社會族群與菁英階級間的匯聚之處。在此過程中,他揭示軍隊是新的下層不法之徒與國家執法者之間的對抗場所。對於被捲入這個這個體制中的數百萬人——身有刺青的士兵、他們的家族與鄉里——宋代並非一個仁政的時代,而是奴役、暴力與反抗的時代。《黥:紋身的士兵與宋代刑罰-軍制複合體》講述著他們的故事。

A sock is an item of clothing worn on the feet. The foot is among the heaviest producers of sweat in the body, as it is able to produce over 1 US pint (0.47 l) of perspiration per day.[1] Socks help to absorb this sweat and draw it to areas where air can evaporate the perspiration. In cold environments, socks decrease the risk of frostbite. Its name is derived from the loose-fitting slipper, called a soccus in Latin, worn by Roman comic actors.[2]
