Ben riffs. Eric Klinenberg, who wrote the book on what happened, talks about how the heatwave exposed inequities that plague Chicago to this day. How Mayor Daley tried to dismiss the deaths as relatively insignificant. How the media was too chicken to challenge Daley. How the city council fell in line with the Boss. How the powers that be looked the other way because the people who died were low-income. Eric's book, published in 2002, changed...

轻刀快马《单身社会》：2.4亿人单身、1.25亿人独居，从哪里来？到哪里去？在1950年代，美国人口中只有22%的人单身生活；而今天，超过一半的美国人正处于单身，其中3100万人独自生活，差不多占到了美国成年人口的1/7。独居人口占到了美国户籍总数的28%，独居已经成为美国最普遍的家庭形式，甚至超越了核心家庭的比例。在过去的半个世纪中，人类一直在从事一项伟大的社会试验，人类史上前所未有的，世界各地数量庞大的不同年龄、不同政治信仰的人们，都选择了独居生活。不久以前，人们还习惯于在年轻时结婚，而死亡才是终止婚姻的唯一方式，当年轻丧偶时，人们选择早早地再婚，而老年丧偶的人们则搬去与家人同住，或是家人选择搬来陪伴他们。但如今，人们选择晚婚，人们离婚，而后十多年地保持着单身。有些人活得比自己的伴侣长久，并且千方百计地避免与他人共同居住——即便这个“他人”常常是他们自己的孩子。上面一段话出自本周与大家分享的这本书《单身社会》，作者是美国社会学家Eric Klinenberg。根据国家统计局2020年发布的“七普”长表数据，中国当前单身人口接近2.4亿人，独居比例超过户籍总数的25%，这意味着1.25亿人独自居住。而在10年前的“六普”数据中，独居比例仅为14.5%；在2000年第五次人口普查时，这个数字甚至只有8.3%。不出意外的话，在2030年第八次人口普查的时候，独居/一人户大概率会成为占比最高的家庭和居住模式。无论是在当下，还是在未来很长的一段时间里，《单身社会》这本书都值得反复被提起，如何看待“单身社会”以及如何过好一个人的生活，也都将是值得所有人思考和探讨的话题。💕本期节目由守护关节健康品牌MoveFree益节赞助播出。MoveFree 益节 氨糖软骨素——美国专业关节健康品牌，连续 6 年天猫国际氨糖品类销售 TOP1，100% 纯进口，产品通过了中国质量检验协会和美国FDA的双重认证。缓痛首选【绿标瓶】，成分配比科学，有效缓解关节不适，有效修复受损的关节软骨，缓痛效果最明显。补钙优选【五合一高钙氨糖】，重视有补钙需求和需要多方补充营养的老人，一瓶多补，高含量钙+VD，不需要吃其他钙片。（商务合作 Live by Somg）🎁「MoveFree益节×轻刀快马」专属折扣领取方式：1️⃣点此 https://m.tb.cn/h.gSF9Yat 进入MoveFree专属购买链接2️⃣在淘宝搜索【MoveFree】进入官方海外旗舰店（不要进错店啦），向客服报暗号「轻刀快马」，即可获得专属链接3️⃣复制淘口令，到淘宝打开获取链接：87￥jFUG3byMlp8￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.gSF9Yat  MF3543 轻刀快马专属（下单记得备注「轻刀快马」哦~）【时间轴】04:08 第一个问题：到底有多少人单身独居？北美、欧洲与东亚，单身独居是否已经成为一种普遍趋势？2.4亿人单身、1.25亿人独居，中国进入“单身社会”了么？18:25 第二个问题：为什么单身独居？女性解放、通讯革命、大规模城市化以及人类寿命的大幅延长，在其中各自扮演了什么样的角色？雇佣关系、工作伦理的变迁又如何与单身独居联系起来？40:12 第三个问题：单身独居是否意味着孤独落寞、凄凉悲惨的生活状况？孤独与否，到底是取决于什么？为什么单身独居可能与更富有活力的城市文化相联系？49:02 第四个问题：如何消除对于单身独居那些“看得见的”和“看不见的”歧视？如果“单身社会”终将到来，如何从商业和政策逻辑入手创造更多可能性？【本期节目提到的资料】👆数据来源：Our World in Data 👆数据来源：United States Census Bureau巫锡炜,曹增栋,武翰涛.高等教育扩张与小家庭崛起——来自大学扩招政策的证据[J].社会学研究, 2022(3):92-114.刘轶锋.晚年独居意味着孤独吗?——基于社会网络的调节与中介作用分析[J].人口与发展,2022(01):68-80.张文婷,谭璇璇.暂时性的生育延迟：适龄婚育青年对于女性冻卵的认知研究[J].当代青年研究,2021(04):39-45.热浪：芝加哥灾难的社会剖析 Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago | Eric Klinenberg萨摩亚人的成年：为西方文明所作的原始人类的青年心理研究 Coming of Age in Samoa: A Psychological Study of Primitive Youth for Western Civilisation | Margaret Mead独自打保龄：美国社区的衰落与复兴 Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community | Robert D.

These ‘left behind places’, where economic prosperity has withered and culture decayed, have made their misery known electorally. The economic consequences, notably assaults on trade and globalism, and the human misery obvious in things like deaths of despair from suicide and opioid overdoses, have provoked a flurry of activity concerned with how to revive left behind places and dampen their rage.

Cautionary Tales with Tim HarfordChicago When It SizzlesJuly 1995: A deadly heatwave gripped Chicago - bridges buckled; the power grids failed; and the morgue ran out of space - but some neighbourhoods saw more deaths than others. Sociologist Eric Klinenberg wanted to know why. So he headed to the hardest hit districts and found that social isolation and loneliness played an unsettling role in their heavy deaths tolls.    Does the Chicago heatwave teach us that in dealing with climate change we need to consider not just physical infrastructure, but social infrastructure too?   Eric Klinenberg's classic text on the topic is called Heat...

Klinenberg is a sociologist at NYU who coined the term "social infrastructure" to capture the idea that shared physical places shape the way people act and the relationships people develop. He has studied how the presence of social infrastructure or the lack thereof can have direct implications on the well-being and resiliency of our local communities. His early research discovered that during the Chicago heat wave in the 90s, when controlling for neighborhood demographics, communities with more thriving...

The Gray Area with Sean IllingWhat social solidarity demands of us in a pandemicThere is no doubt that social distancing is the best way to slow the spread of the coronavirus. But the efficacy of social distancing (or really any other public health measure) relies on something much deeper and harder to measure: social solidarity. “Solidarity,” writes Eric Klinenberg, “motivates us to promote public health, not just our own personal security. It keeps us from hoarding medicine, toughing out a cold in the workplace or sending a sick child to school. It compels us to let a ship of stranded people dock in our safe harbors, to knock on our older n...

Too often we take for granted and neglect our libraries, parks, markets, schools, playgrounds, gardens and communal spaces, but decades of research now show that these places can have an extraordinary effect on our personal and collective wellbeing. Why? Because wherever people cross paths and linger, wherever we gather informally, strike up a conversation and get to know one another, relationships blossom and communities emerge – and where communities are strong, people are safer and healthier, cr...

The Long Now FoundationClimate Change and the Future of Cities - Eric KlinenbergWhat qualities help assure that
 a community can survive the threat of disaster?

Benjamen Walker's Theory of EverythingWhen You’re Lonely, Life is Very Long After moving to New York alone, writer Olivia Laing discovered the truth about loneliness.
