凱特·福剋斯(Kate Fox),社會人類學傢,牛津大學社會問題研究中心聯執主任,英國文化研究學會研究員。在英格蘭、美國、愛爾蘭、法國等地輾轉完成敦育後,赴劍橋大學攻讀人類學和哲學。她的工作主要是觀察和評估全球社會文化的趨勢,特彆是針對人類行為的諸多方麵,例如飲酒、調情、酒吧行為、暴力、賽馬、手機聊天、健康憂慮、嗅覺心理等,一些成果頗受關注和好評。她的父親羅賓 福剋斯(RobinFox)也是一位人類學傢。
In WATCHING THE ENGLISH anthropologist Kate Fox takes a revealing look at the quirks, habits and foibles of the English people. She puts the English national character under her anthropological microscope, and finds a strange and fascinating culture, governed by complex sets of unspoken rules and byzantine codes of behaviour. The rules of weather-speak. The ironic-gnome rule. The reflex apology rule. The paranoid-pantomime rule. Class indicators and class anxiety tests. The money-talk taboo and many more ...Through a mixture of anthropological analysis and her own unorthodox experiments (using herself as a reluctant guinea-pig), Kate Fox discovers what these unwritten behaviour codes tell us about Englishness.
谁是Kate Fox心目中,全英国穿衣服穿得最奇特的人呢? Kate Fox说,是:「英国女王」。 每次在新闻里看见英国女王,常常忍不住打心底对她的穿著感到佩服: 她的布料都去哪里剪的? 她是从哪里找到颜色几乎跟衣服一样的皮包? 她出门前,如何确定头上戴的是帽子,而不是她客厅的...
評分尽管有些学者认为用文化整体的论调来描述某种“集体性格”是一种令人遗憾的失误,但人们对所谓“国民性”的剖析和批判,一直抱有浓厚的兴趣。作为一个人类学家,凯特•福克斯在踏入这片有着激烈争议的雷区时,采取了这样一种视角:向英国人平时视为理所当然的那些社会言行规...
評分身为在这边工作的外国人 有时难免觉得格格不入 为什么同事每次去酒吧都要喝的颠三倒四才甘心呢?; 每个周一都要被问到 How was your weekend? 等你真的细细回答起来 大家都觉得很尴尬了,所以现在一般都支吾一下就算了; 每年Xmas party 上发生的事都有超出我的想象的内容; ...
評分虽说是本轻松的读物,却写得很规范。从前言、结论和后记中可以看出,这是一本纯正的人类学著作。 我最喜欢“前言:本土人类学”这一章,作者(她本人也是英国人)用英国的幽默方式介绍了研究对象、研究综述和方法论,却没有采用任何一个吓人的专业术语和标签,反而讲述了很多...
評分The Home Office should base its UK knowledge test on this book!
评分TBH The English have so many in common with the Chinese: the social dis-ease, the hypocrisy, the politeness etc. But how can they utter these to the best is what we are lacking... in addition, the quirky humour is what I fancy about the English, which sets them in and out of what is happening. An overall very informative book and fun to read!
评分最大的樂趣和收獲就是學會瞭怎樣僞裝成英國上流階層:飯後甜點一定要說pudding而不要說dessert,廁所一定要說loo或lavatory而不要說toilet,客廳叫做living room而不叫lounge,沙發叫做sofa而不是couch(because couch is much too American...)非常好玩的一本書!
评分-"im currently working on the sex chapter" -"well..that will be 20 more blank pages huh"....XXDDDD英國人太有趣瞭。。不過中國人也有很多的相似之處。換一個角度看文化很有意思!
评分English is of wittily irony and hypocritical courtesy enough, but an English anthropologist can be faaaaaar more better.
