摘要

在过去的半个世纪里，中国的空气净化已经催生了一种人类生活方式，作者称之为“过滤生活”。这是一种物质上、美学上、甚至是幽默的住宅形式。在这部电影中，人们在雾化毁灭的条件下面对道德和焦虑。这篇文章特别阐述了性别二元和过滤生活之间的联系。它追溯了在COVID-19大流行之前，科学家、营销人员和居住在中国城市的许多其他人如何以男性国家的方式与空气过滤器互动。值得注意的是，这里记录了对中华人民共和国家庭中出现的生态破坏的批评，从对丈夫在家里吸烟的愤怒到最近对男人破坏环境的控诉。

Filtered Life: Air Purification, Gender, and Cigarettes in the People's Republic of China

Air purification in Chinese contexts over the last half century has been generative for a way of being human, what the author calls “filtered life.” This is a materially, aesthetically, and even humorously mediated form of dwelling. In it, people confront ethics and anxieties under conditions of aerosolized ruination. This article sheds special light on links between gender binaries and filtered life. It traces how, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists, marketers, and many others residing in urban China interacted with air filters in ways textured by the male state. Notably chronicled here is a critique of ecological ruin emergent in homes of the People's Republic of China (PRC), one mutating from ire toward husbands for smoking cigarettes in the home to more recent indictments of men despoiling the environment.

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
