讲者就士绅化与此伴随的驱逐进行了大量的研究，田野点遍布希腊、意大利与泰国，他亦在中国进行上述议题的讨论。在本次演讲中，Herzfeld教授将讲解在具有象征意义的地区，特别是首都，士绅化与城市美化如何被用作驱逐贫困者以及少数族裔的借口。将已有的民族志资料作为未来社会的投影，讲者进一步认为，就目前的观察而言，在未来，新自由主义的严苛与动荡将对世界范围内的弱势群体带来日渐严重的挑战。最后，Herzfeld教授将讲述人类学在这个过程中扮演的重要角色，如何对上述威胁人类安全的实践进行迅疾、彻底与严厉的批判，即便“新自由主义”拥有最自由的意涵。

Gentrification and its Discontents
An Anthropological talk by Michael Herzfeld
Friday 9 February at 7:00 p.m.
Hong Kong Museum of History Lecture Hall, Ground Floor, 100 Chatham Road, Tsim ShaTsui
The speaker has done extensive research on gentrification and eviction in Greece, Italy, and Thailand, and has followed research on these topics in China. He will speak about the ways in which gentrification and urban beautification have been used to justify the removal of poor and minority people from symbolically important areas of (especially) capital cities, and will discuss what the results of ethnographic observation portent for thefuture – a future in which, at present viewing, the neoliberal imposition of austerity and precarity would seem to suggest an increasingly heavy burden for the most disadvantaged segments of society worldwide. Finally, he will speak about the role that anthropology can play in urging an immediate, thoroughgoing, and unsparing critique of practices that ultimately pose an existential threat to human security in the most literal meaning of that term.
Michael Herzfeld is the Ernest E. Monrad Professor of the Social Sciences in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University.
Following the talk, you are invited to a self-paying dinner with the speaker.
