將國傢定義為一個社會中壟斷瞭閤法暴力的中介(追隨韋伯),且該中介與社會生活的其餘部分分開。沒有國傢,也就沒有民族主義的問題。民族的形成有兩種說法,共享文化說和意誌說(同民族的人認識到相互間的權利和義務)。在農耕社會,上層統治者隻關心徵稅和社會穩定,不會將其獨占的高等文化強行推廣至底層;自進入工業時代以來,社會結構的流動增加,思想上推崇一以貫之,運作上追求效率,統治階層的文化壟斷被打破,教育變得通識化、標準化,一方麵得以普及業已高度同質化的文化,另一方麵以便在通識基礎上快速高效地輸齣專業人纔。民族主義本質上是虛弱的(需要外力庇佑),且很難獲得切實有效的政治錶述。民族主義不是靠喚醒那些假定存在、有如神話的政治單元方得成型,而是一種新單元的結晶,盡管它需要求助於傳統文化遺産。是民族主義催生瞭民族。
評分Gellner認為民族主義起源於社會由靜態農業生産轉型為發展型工業生産的經濟需求。由於人口流動性增大,各職業間可以相互轉換,打破麵對麵社會小單位之間的隔閡,因此需要形式化的文字和交流工具,有且隻有國傢的暴力機器有能力和動機承載如此龐大的教育任務。用Gellner的話說,對教育的壟斷纔是民族國傢的最重要特點。而這又使得folk culture接受或形成自己的high culture,Little tradition則被Great tradition兼並或自身進化為Great tradition。對High culture形成的討論十分有意義,但忽視瞭這個過程中民族神話與曆史記憶的關係,譬如在討論語言與印刷工業時錶示“隻有懂得此語言者被包含在道德與經濟共同體之中”,而“到底說瞭什麼則並不重要”。
評分還蠻有意思的一個 argument,認為現代社會的經濟結構-即工作的流動性促使 literary culture成為一個必要性的東西,以便人們可以更有能力去換工作,進行更為準確的溝通。而這一變化促使專門教育機構的形成,為 nationalism奠定瞭基礎
評分Introduction: conceptual, empirical and explanatory criticisms. 在理。23, nationalism emerged in the transition from agrarian society to industrial one. Functionalist analysis. 一種可能性:提到的要素(eg. mass education)轉化成解釋民族主義起源的其他理論,跳脫結構主義框架。#w2
評分非常functionalism的作品,但也很philosophical。nationalism theory裏麵比較經典的作品瞭。
British philosopher, anthropologist and sociologist, self-described Enlightenment rationalist fundamentalist, born to Czech parents in Paris and raised in Prague, where he lived the last few years of his life, and died in 1995. He received a very thorough training in the Wittgensteinian "linguistic" or "ordinary language" philosophy fashionable in Britain (and more particularly Oxford) in the '50s, and found himself quite unable to believe it, so he ran away to become an anthropologist, and studied the Berbers because a mountaineering group at the London School of Economics organized a trip to the Atlas. His first book, Words and Things (1959; preface by Russell, to whom he dedicated his second book) combined a crushing philosophical critique of linguistic philosophy with a sociological analysis of "the narodniks of North Oxford", "an intelligentsia without ideas." It was at once a succès de scandale (probably the only kind Gellner wanted, frankly) and the first real demonstration of his style: a devastating, hilarious combination of learning and intellectual seriousness with verbal play and irreverence, in particular an almost uncanny talent for finding apt, mocking names for things and ideas.
Nationalism is one of the most powerful forces in the modern world, yet it is surprisingly little studied and only imperfectly understood, either by its adherents or its opponents. Its irruption into the modern world is often explained as a resurgence of primitive, atavistic instincts, or as a delusion fostered by a few theoreticians, politicians or propagandists.
The present volume interprets nationalism in terms of its social roots, which it locates in industrial social organization. A society that aims for affluence and economic growth, Professor Gellner argues, depends on innovation, occupational mobility, mass media, universal literacy, and education in a shared, standard idiom. Taken together these transform the relationship between culture and the state. The functioning of the society depends on an all-embracing educational system, tied to one culture and protected by a state identified with that culture. The principle one state, one culture makes itself felt, and political units which do not conform to it feel the strain in the form of nationalist activity. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

一本对各种理论进行比较,并从中建构出自己得理论模式的书,所用文献极少,但阐述了详尽的观点,并做出突破。虽然常常有看不懂和不理解的地方,但的确值得一读。是从一个新的角度(教育体系,识字文化)来理解民族主义的,论述在前半部书让我有点不明白他在说什么,但是随着逐...
評分作者:西闪 □思想光谱 有人说,民族是一个不证自明的实体。也有人讲,民族是一个想像的共同体。这两种说法巧妙地避开了为民族下一个确切的定义。因为人们发现,民族是一个如此难以把握的对象。尽管语言、人种、领土、宗教或者文化等因素被用来定义民族,但都无法...
