An intellectual memoir by the author of the acclaimed Imagined Communities
Benedict Anderson is one of the leading historians of nationalism and Southeast Asia. His seminal book Imagined Commu-nities has changed the way we think about the reason why people live, die and kill in the name of nation-hood.
Born in China, Anderson spent his childhood in California and Ireland, was educated in England and finally found a home at Cornell University, where he immersed himself in the growing field of Southeast Asian studies. After field work in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, he was banned from Suharto’s Indonesia for disputing the legitimacy of the 1965 coup. In his memoir, he brings to life the intellectual formation of a life spent open to the world, resisting the easy comforts of imagined homes: the joys of learning languages; the importance of field work; the influence of the New Left upon global think-ing; and the satisfactions of teaching.
##真心看得一愣一愣。我也要這樣進入東南亞!
評分##斷斷續續讀瞭好久,最近終於收束瞭。老頭子太有勁,徹底點燃瞭我對東南亞的熱情和興趣。
評分##人的一生也是要看曆史的行程嘛,如果不是趕上瞭大時代,也沒有什麼特彆beyond boundaries的地方瞭
評分##Frog under coconut shell is a strong metaphor indicating the limited horizon formed by one's upbringing,only by efforts of endless endeavor to develop habits of observation and comparison and keeping in mind that our culture is not superior or inferior,could one understand the freedom built by less prejudiced thinking.
評分##1.好看可讀性強,長知識八卦。想起《摩洛哥田野作業》,但本尼迪剋特·安德森的研究並非人類學角度的,而著重於社會體係,民族認同。 2.歐洲中心。 3.作傢本人及其傢族可謂貴族加傳奇瞭兄弟Gary Anderson走的也是伊頓牛劍路綫,雖然方嚮不一樣,都是大學者。 4.迴憶錄包括個人和研究環境。研究環境我認為是最有價值的一部分。對東南亞研究的開始基於什麼理由,冷戰結束後對發展方嚮,彼時的局限性在哪。 5.frog的隱喻:坐井觀天。 6.他的《想象的共同體》不好翻譯,因為他寫作時是有一個debate對象的:the UKintelligentsia。因此文中有很多英語母語人士能理解的段子,作為外國人不好理解也翻譯不齣的地方。
評分##正在緊鑼密鼓的製作中
評分##expected sth more humorous and humble until i saw the sentence"the pearl is produced by an oyster in pain not a happy oyster with a laptop" lol an oyster can be still in pain even with a laptop(c'est moi. somehow the interdisciplinary chap makes me less interested in doing a phd mmm
評分##充滿深刻的感悟。真正有誌於學者應該打破各種邊界,沉迷在自己的小殼裏可能舒服,但一定可鄙。
評分##真人生偶像。
