Edward L. Davis
Associate Professor in the Department of History, at University of Hawai'i at Manoa
China: Middle Period
BA Harvard, 1976; MA, PhD California-Berkeley, 1981, 1994
Ned Davis received his B.A. from Harvard College in 1976 and his Ph.D in Chinese History from the University of California at Berkeley in 1994. His research focuses on the social and cultural history of Middle Imperial China (750 - 1600) and the history of Chinese religions from the ancient period until the present. His major publications include Society and the Supernatural in Song China (2001) and The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Chinese Culture (2005) and numerous articles on the development of popular temple cults in the Tang and Song dynasties. He regularly teaches honors sections of World Cultures (161a) for freshman; the general survey of Chinese history (311 and 312); upper division courses on pre-modern Chinese political culture (416); graduate seminars on various topics in ancient, early-imperial, and middle-imperial Chinese history (661b/c); and undergraduate and graduate courses in historiography (396 and 602).
Representative publications:
Society and the Supernatural in Song China (Honolulu, 2003).
"Arms and the Tao. Hero Cult and Empire in Traditional China. 1," in Sôdai no shakai to shûkyô [Song Society and Religion], (Tokyo, 1985).
Co-editor, The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Chinese Culture (London, New York, 2006).
Society and the Supernatural in Song China is at once a meticulous examination of spirit-possession and exorcism in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a social history of the full panoply of China's religious practices and practitioners at the moment when she was poised to dominate the world economy. Although the Song dynasty (960-1276) is often identified with the establishment of Confucian orthodoxy, Edward Davis demonstrates the renewed vitality of the dynasty's Taoist, Buddhist, and local religious traditions.

還原一個真實的宋代社會,忽略所謂的精英、庶民文化之分,儒釋道三教之彆,我想這本書已經給瞭一個很好的範例。宋代社會的活力躍然紙上,我們甚至可以輕易地由其中的材料聯想到現在的情況。 不過令我感到可惜的是,無法在此書中獲得一定的關於宋代道教的瞭解。無論如何,如果想...

評分child-medium possessions
評分觀點獨特,有啓發性。從《夷堅誌》選齣的故事非常典型且有說服力,有力地證明瞭作者的論點。但是故事翻成英文時有很多細節上的錯誤,不知道是由於大意疏忽,還是古文水平有限。
評分喜歡結論~
評分撥亂反正有些過瞭。太強調道教對宋代人的精神世界的影響,反而理不清理學和民間信仰之間的關係。
