alister每周英文文章推荐大家好，一周时间到。本周推荐七篇内卷文章，内容涉及东南亚各种内卷现象与成因。
1.内卷一代
China’s “Involuted” Generation
(https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/chinas-involuted-generation)
内容简介:我们生活在一个万物皆可卷的时代，上学卷绩点，工作卷时长，相亲卷对象，似乎什么东西都可以和卷扯上关系。更为奇怪的是，一旦某件事物被贴上了卷的标签，人们就开始对此理所当然，而不是追求其背后的事实和原因
推荐理由: 卷作为一种隐藏问题的手段
摘抄: 首先去明确，去承认
In contrast to exploitation or suppression or even alienation, involution is presented as part of the natural order of things—like bad weather. You can’t point fingers at an abstraction or rally against a fusty term from an anthropology text.
2.用躺平打败内卷
Why this “Involuted” Generation of Young Chinese Are “Lying Flat”
(https://radiichina.com/laying-flat-involution/)
内容简介:内卷青年如何开始躺平人生，本文以多个年轻人的视角，说明内卷文化是如何兴起的，分析为什么年轻人选择以躺平方式去对抗，进一步这种躺平方式背后的深层次因素是什么
推荐理由:躺平作为反内卷的一种手段
摘抄: 躺平作为一种自我保护机制
In an ever-changing digital world, “lying flat” is a young person’s silent, disappointed and compromising protest to the involuted society behind them, and a self-protecting mechanism to combat an unfriendly system.
3.内卷深度解读
How One Obscure Word Captures Urban China’s Unhappiness
(https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1006391/how-one-obscure-word-captures-urban-chinas-unhappiness)
内容简介:本文是人类学家项飚一个关于内卷的访谈，内容详实又具有启发，主要包括内卷作为一个学术词汇如何演变成大众描述的一种现象、中国内卷的原因特征以及中日对比等等
推荐理由:有关于你想知道内卷的一切
摘抄:明知结局的游戏
People know full well that the results aren’t what they desire, but they still want to compete. They don’t know other ways to live if they’re not competing, and if you quit the competition, you’re left facing moral pressure.
4.韩国理想家庭小日子
Lessons From a Homebody
(https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/15/style/self-care/youtube-korean-cleaning-videos.html)
内容简介:今年以来，油管上关于在家做饭、做家务、整理房间的视频受到韩国人的追捧。这种现象代表着韩国家庭妇女个人意识的觉醒，但同时也揭露了韩国社会长期备受忽视的家庭妇女艰难付出，一些称为三抛族的女性开始学会享受自己的生活，而不是遵循旧有的社会传统
推荐理由:韩国的三抛族
摘抄:韩国三抛族
so-called sampo generation, the growing number of young adults who are rejecting the three pillars of adult life in Korean society — courtship, marriage and children — in favor of independence and financial freedom.
5.平成废宅
The Mystery of Why Japanese People Are Having So Few Babies
(https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/07/japan-mystery-low-birth-rate/534291/)
内容简介:日本年轻人都不太愿意生孩子了，有观点认为是因为新一代年轻人的低欲望，不愿意谈恋爱，不愿意结婚，不愿意。本文从经济原因出发，说明如何的日本年轻人经济不稳定，大量人口从事临时工作或者处于高压工作状态，难以有足够能力和信心组建家庭以及养育下一代
推荐理由:日本平成废宅
摘抄:东亚圈，男性要么养家，要么没家
In a culture that places such an emphasis on men being breadwinners, this has serious implications for marriage and childbearing. Men who don’t have regular jobs are not considered desirable marriage partners; even if a couple wants to get married, and both have irregular jobs, their parents will likely oppose it,
6.满意的日本年轻人
Young Japanese are surprisingly content
(https://www.economist.com/asia/2018/02/17/young-japanese-are-surprisingly-content)
内容简介:本文指出，日本年轻人相比于他们的祖辈，更对目前的生活感到满意。得益于便利的生活环境和父母的收留，他们可以尽情享受现代生活所带来的好处。但故事的另一面是这群年轻人不再对未来抱有希望，而是得过且过，不愿组建家庭，不愿养育下一代
推荐理由:日本式躺平
摘抄:接受现状，享受当下
Yet this silver lining comes with a dark cloud. Mr Furuichi believes that one reason why young people are becoming more satisfied with their current lives is precisely because they see little to look forward to. They focus on enjoying the here and now.
7.博弈论下的内卷
“Involution” (“Neijuan”) in China and Game Theory
(https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2021/09/28/involution-neijuan-in-china-and-game-theory/)
内容简介:本文以博弈论的视角分析内卷，在资源相对稀缺的情况下，个人最佳策略大多数时候都是努力内卷工作，这样才能尽可能获得更多的资源，但当每个人都在内卷工作的时候，投入和产出便出现了显著的不匹配
推荐理由:内卷与博弈论
摘抄:个人最佳策略不是集体最佳策略
the conclusion will always be that in most cases, only those who are willing to work overtime will eventually be the “winner” due to the fact that there are players in the game who also compete for the resources and are willing to contribute extra input.
