Combining great learning, interpretative originality, analytical sensitivity, and a charismatic prose style, Clifford Geertz has produced a lasting body of work with influence throughout the humanities and social sciences, and remains the foremost anthropologist in America. His 1980 book Negara analyzed the social organization of Bali before it was colonized by the Dutch in 1906. Here Geertz applied his widely influential method of cultural interpretation to the myths, ceremonies, rituals, and symbols of a precolonial state. He found that the nineteenth-century Balinese state defied easy conceptualization by the familiar models of political theory and the standard Western approaches to understanding politics. Negara means "country" or "seat of political authority" in Indonesian. In Bali Geertz found negara to be a "theatre state," governed by rituals and symbols rather than by force. The Balinese state did not specialize in tyranny, conquest, or effective administration. Instead, it emphasized spectacle. The elaborate ceremonies and productions the state created were "not means to political ends: they were the ends themselves, they were what the state was for.... Power served pomp, not pomp power." Geertz argued more forcefully in Negara than in any of his other books for the fundamental importance of the culture of politics to a society. Much of Geertz's previous work--including his world-famous essay on the Balinese cockfight--can be seen as leading up to the full portrait of the "poetics of power" that Negara so vividly depicts.

評分這麼低。。說不好讀的,試著讀桑高仁, Rebecca Karl的東西再來看,吉爾茨簡直是業界良心,條理清晰,觀點分明,句子復雜文雅但邏輯清楚,不亂引,不亂噴,這纔是真大神。
评分period approach&developmental approach、作為東南亞星係政治模式的尼加拉和西方政治學理論形成的觀照; 依然疑惑的點有關闡釋人類學的理論核心、有關對符號(儀式)的關注在人類學中是否已經隨著殖民時代的過去而過時(包括應用劇場國傢解釋北韓是否閤理)、有關儀式功能。以及,儀典是否暗示著一種指示性關係,如果是,那它的“所指”是什麼?
