This interesting book interweaves the stories of two early twentieth century botanists to explore the collaborative relationships each formed with Yunnan villagers in gathering botanical specimens from the borderlands between China, Tibet, and Burma. Mueggler introduces Scottish botanist George Forrest, who employed native ethnic Naxi adventurers in his fieldwork from 1906 until his death in 1932. We also meet American Joseph Francis Charles Rock, who, in 1924, undertook a dangerous expedition to Gansu and Tibet with the sons and nephews of Forrest's workers. Mueggler describes how the Naxi workers and their Western employers rendered the earth into specimens, notes, maps, diaries, letters, books, photographs, and ritual manuscripts. Drawing on an ancient metaphor of the earth as a book, Mueggler provides a sustained meditation on what can be copied, translated, and revised, and what can be folded back into the earth.
Erik Mueggler is professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan. He was a 2002 winner of the MacArthur Foundation Genius award.
震撼,学术写作居然可以如此优美,饱含质感,柔和而厚重,像翻开大地之书。任何人文学科都可借鉴的范文。
评分希望有一天,历史学者也会有人类学家的感受力。
评分Erik Mueggler好像很不喜欢写结论。。
评分功夫了得,真功夫,煲佛跳墙的功夫。很少人能像他一样把一张旧相片和现象学扯上关系。
评分文笔太好了:脚下的景观和文档里的景观;文献记录与个人经验;text and history
