Nächstes Kapitel Insider or Outsider, Both or Neither: Researching Three Generations of Rural Chinese Women’s Lives

The figure was proposed by Marina Thorborg, refer to Jacka (1997). But I suggest that the figure itself is confusing, for there is no mention if it was calculated based on the rural women from all ages, or just those who were able to labour. Meanwhile, the figure offered by E. Croll is 90% in 1958.

Only recent two years, some Chinese Scholars started their exploration on rural women’s labour in the collective era under the collaboration with some US scholars. See Gao (2005) and Jin (2006).

The opposite to this, Kleinman argues, is ethical discourse, which ‘is an abstract articulation and debate over codified values. It is conducted by elites, both global and local. Ethical discourse is usually principle-based, with meta-theoretical commentary on the authorization and implication of those principles.’ (1990: 363).

A similar question is raised by L. Pettinger who stresses the role of ‘friendship’ in the process of labour organisation. See, Pettinger (2005: 40).

Production team (shengchandui) was the lowest and most basic social structure of rural society during Maoist era, with production brigade above. Production team ‘collectively controlled the social organisation of production’, and thus ‘provided the economic, political and social framework within which peasants organised their lives’ (Potter and Potter 1990: 94).
