Alfred (Antony Francis) Gell (June 12, 1945-January 28, 1997): British social anthropologist whose most influential work concerned art, language, symbolism and ritual. Gell is considered one of the most gifted anthropologists of his generation. He as a student studied with Edmund Leach (MPhil, Cambridge University) and Raymond Firth (PhD, London School of Economics). He did his fieldwork in Melanesia and tribal India. He was Reader in Anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and was a fellow of the British Academy. The School posthumously awarded him a Professorship, a post that he had declined during his life time.
Review
This book changes the very basis of the way art has been viewed in the human sciences. It presents what is the first fundamental theory for an anthropology of art. Its publication is a major event. Maurice Bloch, FBA, Professor of Anthropology, London School of Economics. This is a remarkable work ... witty, elegant, broad in its compass and scintillating in its detail. It is characteristically polemical ... alive with his sense of purpose and his quite original and captivating account of how we are captivated by relations between forms ... The book know what to do with the limits of form--one suddenly sees how anthropology might surpass itself. Marilyn Strathern, FBA, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge An extraordinary achievement. Gell offers a profound new understanding of collective agency which completely reshapes the anthropology of art, redefines its objects of study, and inspires new conclusions. Caroline Humphrey, Reader in Asian Anthropology, University of Cambridge

"[This] is not only a contribution to anthropology but a subtle and original counterweight to the banalities of globalization theory."--Times Literary Supplement
先避开这个有标新立异之嫌的标题,说说Gell和本书不得不说的故事。 正如Gell的妻子Simeran在开篇所说,Art and Agency的最后一章是Gell在知道自己得了不治之症之后写下的,而之前的第一稿是Gell在1996年复活节为期三周的假期中写就的,在得知时日不多之后,Gell开始抓紧修改润...

A purely cultural, aesthetic, 'appreciative' approach to art objects is an anthropological dead end.
评分Agency is dead
评分人類學理論主要用來解釋宗教、儀式、族群、婚姻等議題,而Gell本書的貢獻則是他嘗試建立一套理論去解釋“藝術”。在英國社會人類學派傳統下,Gell更關注社會中各元素的關係,於是他建立瞭Agent和Patience兩大關係,在這兩大關係下又各有index, artist, prototype, recipient四大元素,並檢驗這此元素與元素之間的多重關係,從而幫助我們理解人類學場景中所謂的“藝術”。Gell的邏輯非常清晰,讀的過程中一度有當年讀韋伯《社會學的基本概念》同樣的感覺,很是佩服。
评分抱歉,僅僅是為瞭證明我個人的堅強而犧牲瞭書本。寄希望於後來的我能讀懂。
评分把anthropology of art的研究範圍及研究重點定義瞭下 可依舊很無聊
