The definitive, bestselling book on the origins and development of nationalism.
Imagined Communities, Benedict Anderson's brilliant book on nationalism, forged a new field of study when it first appeared in 1983. Since then it has sold over a quarter of a million copies and is widely considered the most important book on the subject. In this greatly anticipated revised edition, Anderson updates and elaborates on the core question: what makes people live, die and kill in the name of nations? He shows how an originary nationalism born in the Americas was adopted by popular movements in Europe, by imperialist powers, and by the anti-imperialist resistances in Asia and Africa, and explores the way communities were created by the growth of the nation-state, the interaction between capitalism and printing, and the birth of vernacular languages-of-state. Anderson revisits these fundamental ideas, showing how their relevance has been tested by the events of the past two decades.
Benedict Anderson was Aaron L. Binenkorp Professor of International Studies Emeritus at Cornell University. He was editor of the journal Indonesia and author of Java in a Time of Revolution, The Spectre of Comparisons: Nationalism, Southeast Asia, and the World and Imagined Communities.
人的自我认同是一件很神圣的事情,因为它决定了你我的价值谱系,规定了在意义的秩序里如何安身。有共同认同的人,组成了社团、部落、氏族,民族与文明站在认同的顶峰,从某个角度来说,所谓的民族,不过是两三个人际小圈子十万倍百万倍千万倍的放大版。它的不同,在量上,而...
评分《想象的共同体》这本书逻辑严密,层层相扣,引证充分,是难得的一本不但自成体系、自圆其说,而且接近滴水不漏,没有多少逻辑漏洞的书。这在以注重破坏性和解构的左派论述中是非常难得的。以往的左派论述中,往往为了提出一个崭新的角度,或者给出一个经典认识的解构,而作出...

虽考察民族主义的文化性质,但作为马克思主义者,安氏论述要旨深有马主义根底:印刷资本主义,语言整合同化,殖民地精英朝圣之旅形成民族情感,民族主义相互盗版,时间空间经由文艺作品和文字论述而压缩、变成群体可理解可想象,均基于资本主义市场经济发展和殖民体系扩展。这两者决定印刷资本主义深度和殖民地与殖民中央关系、同一系列文化手段结合,影响民族主义形态:旧皇朝地区出现官式民族主义,皇朝官僚强力整合语言民族。南美洲虽有共同语言,碍于殖民时技术条件难突破广阔大陆地理区隔,缺乏母国整体想象,未形成统一南美民族主义。新兴亚非拉地区借助广电技术,想象意识传播更激烈。问题意识是为何亚洲共产政权会相互作战—亚洲共产革命适逢各国民族主义文化建构条件和技术手段成熟的年代,东南亚各国共党多少无意地继承了殖民者的建构话语。

评分我本来以为是我读的翻译版本问题,后来发现是Anderson写的太意识流了好么给词汇好好下定义不行么我读书少不要坑我…
评分越讀到後面越覺得有夾硬來的成份,但自己選的題真是夾硬來也要寫完啊(好討厭一到期末就暴飲暴食的自己,希望隨著學生生涯的正式結束這種狀態也可以徹底告別)
评分polemical; 被捧得太高了吧。。
