In The West, The Idea Of Autonomy Is Often Associated With A Sense Of Freedoma Selfinterested State Of Being Unfettered By Rules Or Obligations To Others. This Original Anthropological Study Explores A Type Of Obedient Autonomy That Thrives On Setbacks, Blossoms As More Rules Are Imposed, And Flourishes In Adversity. Obedient Autonomy Analyzes This Model, And Explains Its Precepts Through Examining The Specialized And Highly Organized Discipline Of Archaeology In China.The Book Follows Chinese Students On Their Journey To Becoming Fullfledged Archaeologists In A Bureaucracysaturated Environment. Often Required To Travel In Teams To The Countryside, Archaeologists Are Uniquely Obliged To Overcome Divisions Among Themselves, Between Themselves And Their Peasantworkers, And Between Themselves And Bureaucratic Officials. This Analysis Reveals How These Interactions Provide Teachers Of Archaeology With Stories Used To Foster Obedient Autonomy In Their Students. Moreover, It Demonstrates How This Form Of Autonomy Enables A Person To Order And Control Their Future Careers In What Appears To Be A Disorderly And Uncertain World.
