Nigel Barley (born 1947 in Kingston upon Thames, England) is an anthropologist famous for the books he has written on his experiences. He studied modern languages at Cambridge University and completed a doctorate in social anthropology at Oxford University. He held a number of academic positions before joining the British Museum as an assistant keeper in the Department of Ethnography, where he remained until 2003.
Barley's first book, The Innocent Anthropologist, was a witty and informative account of anthropological field work among the Dowayo people of Cameroon. Thereafter he published a number of works about Africa and Indonesia in such genres as travel, art, historical biography, and fiction.
Barley has been twice nominated for the Travelex Writer of the Year Award. In 2002, he won the Foreign Press Association prize for travel writing.
When British anthropologist Nigel Barley set up home among the Dowayo people in northern Cameroon, he knew how fieldwork should be conducted. Unfortunately, nobody had told the Dowayo. His compulsive, witty account of first fieldwork offers a wonderfully inspiring introduction to the real life of a cultural anthropologist doing research in a Third World area. Both touching and hilarious, Barley’s unconventional story—in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illness—addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork.

评分研究生入学以前,我因成绩不济,被调剂到广西某学校的民族学院学习民族学。家人坚持学习无用,文凭有用的原则,认为如果出国也需要回来,什么也没说,就放心让我从记者转身变成一名民族学家。而我,虽然有大家都懂的崇洋媚外之心,但是想到本人对于中国文字有种狂热的痴迷,无...
评分人类学的罪与爱——《天真的人类学家》读书笔记 人类学与社会学、民族学互有交叉。在我看来,人类学往往以边远族群或早期民族为研究对象,而社会学侧重于成熟社会的运行状态和社会关系。民族学注重资料的收集与记录,带有史学味道;而人类学长于对这些资料、现象的解释。人类...
评分记得上完第一节人类学课程后,身边的同学普遍有一种想法,转系到人类学系跟老师做田野调查去。听着老师在课堂上的描述,人类学家到处去体验全新不同的生活方式,这是多么丰富精彩的人生呀!估计老师也猜透了我们的心思,在课堂上一再强调,田野调查真的不如大家想象中有...
读完了,超满足。太!好!笑!了!
评分怎么能有这么好看的书!从头笑到尾!好想转专业学人类学
评分funny
评分确实是很有趣呢!以前觉得人类学家的田野调查超级酷,看了这本回忆录,发现这份工作真的是考验体力毅力,也很考验在一堆noise里找signal的能力(如何提炼出general models of interpretation和cultural symbolism)。绝对是science和art的结合!当然,还需要超级乐观的心态 :)
评分特别好笑。。我记得一个例子就是他在一个什么场合问一土著他们酋长是谁(总之就是类似的问题吧) 人家说:就是头上有羽毛的那个呀。完了他看了半天没看到羽毛 人说:那是因为他今天没有戴羽毛呀
