Professor Stephan Feuchtwang is an emeritus professor of the Department of Anthropology, the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He has been engaged in research on popular religion and politics in mainland China and Taiwan since 1966, resulting in a number of publications on charisma, place, temples and festivals, and civil society. He has recently been engaged in a comparative project exploring the theme of the recognition of catastrophic loss, including the loss of archive and recall, which in Chinese cosmology and possibly elsewhere is pre-figured in the category of ghosts. Most recently he has been pursuing a project on the comparison of civilisations and empires.
The institution of local festivals and temples is not as well known as that of ancestor worship, but it is just as much a universal fact of Chinese life. Its content is an imperial metaphor, which stands in relation to the rest of its participants' lives as the poetry of collective vision, theatrically performed, built and painted in temples, carved and clothed in statues. Stephan Feuchtwang has brought together unpublished as well as published results of his own and other anthropologists' fieldwork in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan and put them into an historical, political and theoretical context.
Students of anthropology will be intrigued. This is not a religion of a Book. Nor is it one of the named religions of China. Popular religion includes some elements of both Buddhism and the former imperial cults, more of Daoism, but it is identifiable with none of them. It is popular in the sense of being local and true of the China of the Han, or Chinese-speaking people, where every place had or has its local cults and the festivals peculiar to them. Its rites, in particular offerings of incense and fire, suggest a concept of religion. It is quite different from theories of religion based on doctrine and belief.
Students of politics will also find here vital and new perspectives. Politics is never far from religion, least of all in the People's Republic of China or colonial and post-colonial Taiwan.

翻譯趙旭東這個人算是齣名瞭。我在忍無可忍之下,專門人肉搜索瞭他。這個人,98年就博士畢業,居然在講師的位置上熬瞭7年,纔升為副教授。也難怪,如此一個沒有責任心的人,除瞭靠熬年頭混飯吃,還能有什麼作為呢? 如果有可能,我想重新看看這本書的一些原版章節。

評分雖然這不是一個新問題瞭,但是經常在讀不懂原文和更讀不懂翻譯之間掙紮。 最近連續讀瞭幾個原文+譯文,發現其實很多譯者在術語上都已經盡力瞭。反而是一些英文的習慣說法或者語序顛倒的問題上翻譯錯誤造成瞭整個一段甚至一章都令人睏惑。 舉個例子,原文第九頁說到but far from...

評分與西方不同,中國傳統社會有著相當多的地方性神靈——其中最為人所熟知的就是城隍以及因造福本地而成神的曆史人物。按中國人的邏輯,他們接受一方百姓的供奉,就要保一方的平安,雙方形成一種契約關係;而人們對這些服務於本社區的神靈的祈禱,也更類似於對基層官員的陳情。因...

such an intricate piece of work.some point itself seems to be metaphoric.my point is whether the whole framework is a bit over-political.
評分第三章是核心
評分英語太地道瞭,每看一分鍾就要走五分鍾的神……所以我不敢說我看明白瞭。
