Nigel Barley (born 1947 in Kingston upon Thames, England) is an anthropologist famous for the books he has written on his experiences. He studied modern languages at Cambridge University and completed a doctorate in social anthropology at Oxford University. He held a number of academic positions before joining the British Museum as an assistant keeper in the Department of Ethnography, where he remained until 2003.
Barley's first book, The Innocent Anthropologist, was a witty and informative account of anthropological field work among the Dowayo people of Cameroon. Thereafter he published a number of works about Africa and Indonesia in such genres as travel, art, historical biography, and fiction.
Barley has been twice nominated for the Travelex Writer of the Year Award. In 2002, he won the Foreign Press Association prize for travel writing.
When British anthropologist Nigel Barley set up home among the Dowayo people in northern Cameroon, he knew how fieldwork should be conducted. Unfortunately, nobody had told the Dowayo. His compulsive, witty account of first fieldwork offers a wonderfully inspiring introduction to the real life of a cultural anthropologist doing research in a Third World area. Both touching and hilarious, Barley’s unconventional story—in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illness—addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork.
左页 “我敢于预言费孝通博士的《中国农民的生活》(又名《江村经济》)一书将被认为是人类学实地调查和理论工作发展中的一个里程碑。”这是在1939年,这一年,费孝通的博士论文出版,他的导师马林诺夫斯基,为他写下了热情洋溢的序言。作为中国人类学的扛鼎之作,它的出现其...
評分《天真的人类学家——小泥屋笔记》真是一本好玩儿的书,不过我笑得很含蓄,相信有人会被逗得哈哈大乐,也许会从椅子上掉下来。 这是巴利于1977年前往喀麦隆与尼日利亚交界的山区研究多瓦悠族人人类学的故事,巴利的研究成果载于一本通常意义的民族志专著,而这本薄薄的...
評分研究生入学以前,我因成绩不济,被调剂到广西某学校的民族学院学习民族学。家人坚持学习无用,文凭有用的原则,认为如果出国也需要回来,什么也没说,就放心让我从记者转身变成一名民族学家。而我,虽然有大家都懂的崇洋媚外之心,但是想到本人对于中国文字有种狂热的痴迷,无...
評分有这样一本书,你在无聊时候随手翻起,忘了从哪页看起,不一会你就读到一段好笑的文字,然后,又翻了几页,你已然兴奋的如发现了一个新大陆,于是你老老实实又迫不及待的从头看起,不想错漏了每一个字,每一页纸。 《天真的人类学家》就是这么对待我的。 是书讲述了一个英国...
評分重读完巴利的《天真的人类学家》,就好像结束了一场疯狂的非洲之行。想像中原始部落与自然和谐共处的画面,多么浪漫而诱人,但其实它只存在于人们的脑海之中。在喀麦隆的多瓦悠部落里,充满了众多的人类恶习,他们那么自然,以致于成了惯例。通奸、懒惰、谎言、巫术、贪财...
果然一邊吐槽一邊田野纔是人類學者的真實工作狀態。話是這麼說,做還是要做
评分我們再有本事,再有本事,也沒辦法做到在不同的文化民族形態間一直來迴切換。每一次轉換,都充滿疏離感。這本書真是精彩有趣。我想起我常說的自己的夢想職業,包括植物學傢,考古學傢,和記者,其實真正嚮往的,就是有這樣的田野調查工作的一個身份啊。
评分特彆好笑。。我記得一個例子就是他在一個什麼場閤問一土著他們酋長是誰(總之就是類似的問題吧) 人傢說:就是頭上有羽毛的那個呀。完瞭他看瞭半天沒看到羽毛 人說:那是因為他今天沒有戴羽毛呀
评分funny
评分怎麼能有這麼好看的書!從頭笑到尾!好想轉專業學人類學
