此书所写的“椰壳碗”形同我们常说的“井底之蛙”的井,都是在描述一种囿于原地、不思进取的状态的。相对的,作者本尼迪克特·安德森于书中恰恰描写的就是他走出“椰壳碗”之外,所遇见的更加广阔的人生,不仅是地域,还有意识形态。 作者自叙平生经历,有几分回忆录的样子,但...
评分有些时候,和某本书的相遇或者重逢,会发生在完全预想不到的时空。如果不是因为本尼迪克特.安德森(Benedict Anderson)的这本新出的个人小传,我恐怕不会重新翻阅《想像的共同体》和《比较的幽灵》这两本书。它们好像在关于欧亚大陆的阅读主干道上突然出现的路标,把我重新带...

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.
给我未来是否要读area studies、应该怎样读提供了很多思考,并reconfirm了我对美国academia总体而言的厌恶。
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.
评分我恨不得给10颗星!老头是真正达到了从心所欲不逾矩啊。全是段子,可是段子里也全是一生的卓见。又是一个发现了,然后痛心疾首已经真正错过的老先生。
评分Insightful perspectives about interdisciplinary studies and academic environments from the 1950s of Europe and USA with interesting anecdotes. Loved to see the Southeast Asia through his eyes. An enjoyable read. Last but not the least, frogs of the world unite!
