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.
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.
听了罗新教授的推荐,花了一天读完。这不是一本典型的人物回忆录,正如作者本人也是一位非典型的人物。 本尼迪克特·安德森是位令人惊叹的学者具有传奇的人生经历,他掌握多种语言:英语,法语,拉丁语,荷兰语,西班牙语,印尼语,泰语,他加禄语。他的父亲是爱尔兰人(曾就职...
評分 評分此书所写的“椰壳碗”形同我们常说的“井底之蛙”的井,都是在描述一种囿于原地、不思进取的状态的。相对的,作者本尼迪克特·安德森于书中恰恰描写的就是他走出“椰壳碗”之外,所遇见的更加广阔的人生,不仅是地域,还有意识形态。 作者自叙平生经历,有几分回忆录的样子,但...
評分有些时候,和某本书的相遇或者重逢,会发生在完全预想不到的时空。如果不是因为本尼迪克特.安德森(Benedict Anderson)的这本新出的个人小传,我恐怕不会重新翻阅《想像的共同体》和《比较的幽灵》这两本书。它们好像在关于欧亚大陆的阅读主干道上突然出现的路标,把我重新带...

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。
评分感覺日文版標題“ヤシガラ椀の外へ”更有意境——“快到碗裏來!”“你纔到碗裏去!”英日兩版封麵都選瞭一隻從碗裏跳齣的蛤,安德森真是續意盎然
评分"...How to use a language to make things so remote also frightening, tragic and understandable."
评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。。。
评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
