When British anthropologist Nigel Barley set up home among the Dowayo people in northern Cameroon, he knew how fieldwork should be conducted. Unfortunately, nobody had told the Dowayo. His compulsive, witty account of first fieldwork offers a wonderfully inspiring introduction to the real life of a cultural anthropologist doing research in a Third World area. Both touching and hilarious, Barley’s unconventional story—in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illness—addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork.
Nigel Barley (born 1947 in Kingston upon Thames, England) is an anthropologist famous for the books he has written on his experiences. He studied modern languages at Cambridge University and completed a doctorate in social anthropology at Oxford University. He held a number of academic positions before joining the British Museum as an assistant keeper in the Department of Ethnography, where he remained until 2003.
Barley's first book, The Innocent Anthropologist, was a witty and informative account of anthropological field work among the Dowayo people of Cameroon. Thereafter he published a number of works about Africa and Indonesia in such genres as travel, art, historical biography, and fiction.
Barley has been twice nominated for the Travelex Writer of the Year Award. In 2002, he won the Foreign Press Association prize for travel writing.
确实是很有趣呢!以前觉得人类学家的田野调查超级酷,看了这本回忆录,发现这份工作真的是考验体力毅力,也很考验在一堆noise里找signal的能力(如何提炼出general models of interpretation和cultural symbolism)。绝对是science和art的结合!当然,还需要超级乐观的心态 :)
评分chapter1,2,3,4
评分我们再有本事,再有本事,也没办法做到在不同的文化民族形态间一直来回切换。每一次转换,都充满疏离感。这本书真是精彩有趣。我想起我常说的自己的梦想职业,包括植物学家,考古学家,和记者,其实真正向往的,就是有这样的田野调查工作的一个身份啊。
评分funny
评分特别好笑。。我记得一个例子就是他在一个什么场合问一土著他们酋长是谁(总之就是类似的问题吧) 人家说:就是头上有羽毛的那个呀。完了他看了半天没看到羽毛 人说:那是因为他今天没有戴羽毛呀
奈吉尔·巴利和列维-斯特劳斯一样,都是不情不愿地开始一段田野考察之旅,完事儿却写了一本精彩的书。只不过列维-斯特劳斯写的是《忧郁的热带》,巴利写的是——“抓狂的热带”。 《天真的人类学家》很逗乐,典型的英式幽默层次不穷。巴利很有文采,我觉得他如果不做人类学家,...
评分书读到一半时,不慎弄丢了。隔了两个月找回来重新读,仍旧喜欢的不得了。之前有人抱怨翻译和作者的人品,书不在手,也没法反驳。现在终有机会。 翻译没有问题,这是比较负责的翻译。作者的英式冷幽默功夫了得,翻译忠实地重现了作者的语气甚至双关语。不得不说台湾编辑的认真,...
评分特想问问作者巴利,他在写正经报告和这两部调侃日志时,哪一个更让他费尽心思? 是不是他把那些按照人类学方法论所无法归纳和总结的事实全都放进这两部日志中了。跟我写“市场战略分析”一样,在星巴克坐个大半天,写在纸上给老板看的不知所云,写在心里的一堆客观事实却耗了三...
评分重读完巴利的《天真的人类学家》,就好像结束了一场疯狂的非洲之行。想像中原始部落与自然和谐共处的画面,多么浪漫而诱人,但其实它只存在于人们的脑海之中。在喀麦隆的多瓦悠部落里,充满了众多的人类恶习,他们那么自然,以致于成了惯例。通奸、懒惰、谎言、巫术、贪财...
评分记得上完第一节人类学课程后,身边的同学普遍有一种想法,转系到人类学系跟老师做田野调查去。听着老师在课堂上的描述,人类学家到处去体验全新不同的生活方式,这是多么丰富精彩的人生呀!估计老师也猜透了我们的心思,在课堂上一再强调,田野调查真的不如大家想象中有...
