During the late imperial era (1500-1911), China, though divided by ethnic, linguistic, and regional differences at least as great as those prevailing in Europe, enjoyed a remarkable solidarity. What held Chinese society together for so many centuries? Some scholars have pointed to the institutional control over the written word as instrumental in promoting cultural homogenization; others, the manipulation of the performing arts. This volume, comprised of essays by both anthropologists and historians, furthers this important discussion by examining the role of death rituals in the unification of Chinese culture.
两位编者华琛和罗友枝之间的“根本分歧”(礼是practice高于belief,还是以practice建立belief)其实未必是人类学家和历史学家的分歧,也未必真的是个分歧。
评分一盆冷水
评分清明前看完也算应景,导论两章引用最多,食物那章也不错,最感兴趣是最后一章殡仪改革,不过小失望。大部分章节看起来应该很有趣,不过变成了材料梳理,例如毛的遗体处理、仪式专家那两章。让我惊讶的是材料我都好陌生,变迁太快了……
评分中国丧葬仪式研究classic,地域覆盖面较局限,不少篇目理论框架过时,依然inspiring
