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.
人類學傢的想象力!
評分初來乍到,對學科脈絡還沒深刻體會,也能直覺到這本書的精彩。整本書像一片飽滿的樹葉,中國西南如此隱秘的人和路,被一個外人描摹,竟然也肌理完好。可思可寫的點太多瞭,自己功力不夠,轉念想還是他的點到為止最好。
評分文筆太好瞭:腳下的景觀和文檔裏的景觀;文獻記錄與個人經驗;text and history
評分震撼,學術寫作居然可以如此優美,飽含質感,柔和而厚重,像翻開大地之書。任何人文學科都可藉鑒的範文。
評分雲山霧罩,卻又在細節裏通透,浸透瞭情感,單這些情感的成分,就足以使其成為最優秀的人類學作品,這不是一般作者能夠處理的。
