In "Anthropology and Social Theory", the award-winning anthropologist Sherry B. Ortner draws on her longstanding interest in theories of cultural practice to rethink key concepts of culture, agency, and subjectivity for the social sciences of the twenty-first century. The seven theoretical and interpretive essays in this volume each advocate reconfiguring, rather than abandoning, the concept of culture. Similarly, they all suggest that a theory which depends on the interested action of social beings - specifically practice theory, associated especially with the work of Pierre Bourdieu - requires a more developed notion of human agency and a richer conception of human subjectivity. Ortner shows how social theory must both build upon and move beyond classic practice theory in order to understand the contemporary world. Some of the essays reflect explicitly on theoretical concerns: the relationship between agency and power, the possibility of producing an anthropology of subjectivity, and the problematic quality of ethnographic studies of resistance. Others are ethnographic studies that put into practice Ortner's theoretical framework. In these, she investigates aspects of social class, looking at the relationship between race and middle-class identity in the United States, the often invisible nature of class as a cultural identity and as an analytical category in social inquiry, and the role that public culture and media played in the creation of the class anxieties of Generation X. Written with Ortner's characteristic lucidity, these essays constitute a major statement about the future of social theory from one of the leading anthropologists of our time.

缺陷 1.過於強調階級、對抗、主體性、能動性,少瞭世界觀和宇宙觀。 2.文化象徵體係的修正不夠,還認為這是外化於人的。 3.闡述的僅僅是美國的社會觀。 另外其中講到Generation X的問題蠻有意思的,說的是公共文化錶述中的X代人在這個被大眾媒體深滲浸染的場域中的某些特點。...

either the now much developed reflections on agency or the dissolution of class in ethnographic writing is obvious truism, considering most of the essay is written in the middle 90s, but really worth citing
評分一個很清晰的理論綜述,雖然有時候未免把經典理論都簡化得過於厲害瞭。不過,它本來就寫得有點像教科書。
評分老生常談,概念分析不嚴謹。缺少哲學功底就把問題簡單化瞭,中間環節沒講清。缺乏人類學洞見。
評分repetitive and simplistic
