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.

2003年的时候,《天真的人类学家:小泥屋笔记》出版了简体本,那时我刚在人类学的大门附近亦步亦趋地徘徊缓行;2008年,从老师那里,我复印了《天真的人类学家:重返多瓦悠兰》(续篇)的台版繁体本,稍能抚平的,是我在学术岔道上踯躅焦虑的心绪。2011年的夏日,我看到了“小...
评分人类学家自十九世纪以来试图通过综合生物学和社会达尔文主义的理论描绘出人类文化与社会的蓝图。他们的形象要么是信仰坚定、走乡串野,寻找类似人类头骨之类的生物人类学家(biological anthropologist);要么是睿智善谈、专注于资料研究,在跨学科领域备受瞩目的文化人类...
评分有这样一本书,你在无聊时候随手翻起,忘了从哪页看起,不一会你就读到一段好笑的文字,然后,又翻了几页,你已然兴奋的如发现了一个新大陆,于是你老老实实又迫不及待的从头看起,不想错漏了每一个字,每一页纸。 《天真的人类学家》就是这么对待我的。 是书讲述了一个英国...
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...
评分研究生入学以前,我因成绩不济,被调剂到广西某学校的民族学院学习民族学。家人坚持学习无用,文凭有用的原则,认为如果出国也需要回来,什么也没说,就放心让我从记者转身变成一名民族学家。而我,虽然有大家都懂的崇洋媚外之心,但是想到本人对于中国文字有种狂热的痴迷,无...

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.
看完只觉得也太惨了。。
评分chapter1,2,3,4
评分终于读完啦!!!没有100%读懂因为好多生词懒得一个个查直接跳过了,可能影响了一些读后感错过了不少笑点吧。但总的来说还是很有趣的
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。
评分中文版完全没有翻译出原版的笑点,我现在腹肌都笑出了!!!看的时候就画面感满满,甚至一度想到崔娃,读书真好啊
