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.
##Ben老師的傳記沒有無聊的時地綫性迴憶,滿是學術思路迴顧、反省,對學術界規範、狀況的批評。這些話題被這頭狡猾又詼諧的“粉牛”穿插起各類笑料段子予以講述,顯得輕鬆好玩又有料(一個名額給老鼠一個名額給拉康真笑死我)。年邁名盛之際還能深刻反省imagined community的思路缺陷也是難能可貴。Frogs of the world unite!
評分##"...How to use a language to make things so remote also frightening, tragic and understandable."
評分##Benedict Anderson shows that a real internationalist should respect cultural diversity and minority rights. 各美其美,天下大同。
評分##"...How to use a language to make things so remote also frightening, tragic and understandable."
評分##成長及田野經曆的部分太精彩。學術部分的話,保持一種開闊的跨學科/地域視野固然重要,不過安德森這種cosmopolitanism畢竟還是一種舊歐洲瓦解之前的所謂布爾喬亞知識分子的精神乃至階級遺留,年輕人看瞭不要太衝動。。。
評分##真心看得一愣一愣。我也要這樣進入東南亞!
評分我恨不得給10顆星!老頭是真正達到瞭從心所欲不逾矩啊。全是段子,可是段子裏也全是一生的卓見。又是一個發現瞭,然後痛心疾首已經真正錯過的老先生。
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。
