Alfred (Antony Francis) Gell (June 12, 1945-January 28, 1997): British social anthropologist whose most influential work concerned art, language, symbolism and ritual. Gell is considered one of the most gifted anthropologists of his generation. He as a student studied with Edmund Leach (MPhil, Cambridge University) and Raymond Firth (PhD, London School of Economics). He did his fieldwork in Melanesia and tribal India. He was Reader in Anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and was a fellow of the British Academy. The School posthumously awarded him a Professorship, a post that he had declined during his life time.
Review
This book changes the very basis of the way art has been viewed in the human sciences. It presents what is the first fundamental theory for an anthropology of art. Its publication is a major event. Maurice Bloch, FBA, Professor of Anthropology, London School of Economics. This is a remarkable work ... witty, elegant, broad in its compass and scintillating in its detail. It is characteristically polemical ... alive with his sense of purpose and his quite original and captivating account of how we are captivated by relations between forms ... The book know what to do with the limits of form--one suddenly sees how anthropology might surpass itself. Marilyn Strathern, FBA, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge An extraordinary achievement. Gell offers a profound new understanding of collective agency which completely reshapes the anthropology of art, redefines its objects of study, and inspires new conclusions. Caroline Humphrey, Reader in Asian Anthropology, University of Cambridge
Review
"[This] is not only a contribution to anthropology but a subtle and original counterweight to the banalities of globalization theory."--Times Literary Supplement
先避开这个有标新立异之嫌的标题,说说Gell和本书不得不说的故事。 正如Gell的妻子Simeran在开篇所说,Art and Agency的最后一章是Gell在知道自己得了不治之症之后写下的,而之前的第一稿是Gell在1996年复活节为期三周的假期中写就的,在得知时日不多之后,Gell开始抓紧修改润...

Agency is dead
评分帶著對教授的愛和對小飛蟲的愛看完瞭這本書,今天教授錶現比較搞笑,不知道是不是因為我在response裏提到瞭人類學傢的幽默感(自我存在感爆棚瞭)。意猶未盡打算翻齣Gell之前的作品看看,也很想寫個長書評,但是木有時間啊又要繼續看傅抱石和康德瞭。。。
评分需二刷
评分這書能看得我背過氣去…
评分屌爆瞭,這文筆簡直神一般。要是他還在世,爬都要爬去LSE當他學生。 三年後補的:成為瞭徒孫哈哈哈哈哈,比以前又瞭解得多瞭些。
