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.
##expected sth more humorous and humble until i saw the sentence"the pearl is produced by an oyster in pain not a happy oyster with a laptop" lol an oyster can be still in pain even with a laptop(c'est moi. somehow the interdisciplinary chap makes me less interested in doing a phd mmm
评分##Frog under coconut shell is a strong metaphor indicating the limited horizon formed by one's upbringing,only by efforts of endless endeavor to develop habits of observation and comparison and keeping in mind that our culture is not superior or inferior,could one understand the freedom built by less prejudiced thinking.
评分##Ben老师的传记没有无聊的时地线性回忆,满是学术思路回顾、反省,对学术界规范、状况的批评。这些话题被这头狡猾又诙谐的“粉牛”穿插起各类笑料段子予以讲述,显得轻松好玩又有料(一个名额给老鼠一个名额给拉康真笑死我)。年迈名盛之际还能深刻反省imagined community的思路缺陷也是难能可贵。Frogs of the world unite!
评分##断断续续读了好久,最近终于收束了。老头子太有劲,彻底点燃了我对东南亚的热情和兴趣。
评分##成长及田野经历的部分太精彩。学术部分的话,保持一种开阔的跨学科/地域视野固然重要,不过安德森这种cosmopolitanism毕竟还是一种旧欧洲瓦解之前的所谓布尔乔亚知识分子的精神乃至阶级遗留,年轻人看了不要太冲动。。。
评分##Benedict Anderson shows that a real internationalist should respect cultural diversity and minority rights. 各美其美,天下大同。

评分##1.好看可读性强,长知识八卦。想起《摩洛哥田野作业》,但本尼迪克特·安德森的研究并非人类学角度的,而着重于社会体系,民族认同。 2.欧洲中心。 3.作家本人及其家族可谓贵族加传奇了兄弟Gary Anderson走的也是伊顿牛剑路线,虽然方向不一样,都是大学者。 4.回忆录包括个人和研究环境。研究环境我认为是最有价值的一部分。对东南亚研究的开始基于什么理由,冷战结束后对发展方向,彼时的局限性在哪。 5.frog的隐喻:坐井观天。 6.他的《想象的共同体》不好翻译,因为他写作时是有一个debate对象的:the UKintelligentsia。因此文中有很多英语母语人士能理解的段子,作为外国人不好理解也翻译不出的地方。
