Nancy Scheper-Hughes is Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Director of the doctoral program in Medical Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her many publications include two books published by California, the award-winning Death without Weeping (1992) and Small Wars (1998).
TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, UPDATED AND EXPANDED When Saints, Scholars, and Schizophrenics was published twenty years ago, it became an instant classic--a beautifully written study tracing the social disintegration of "Ballybran," a small village on the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. In this richly detailed and sympathetic book, Nancy Scheper-Hughes explores the symptoms of the community's decline: emigration, malaise, unwanted celibacy, damaging patterns of childrearing, fear of intimacy, suicide, and schizophrenia. Following a recent return to "Ballybran," Scheper-Hughes reflects in a new preface and epilogue on the well-being of the community and on her attempts to reconcile her responsibility to honest ethnography with respect for the people who shared their homes and their secrets with her.

非常值得看的一本书
评分给分一般因为感觉有种用西方standard去judge当地文化的意思。不过prologue和epilogue里面对于自我的解析和村民的反应变化还是很有意思的。这本毕竟应该只是thesis,只能说如果成熟一点的时期写应该更好。我更期待了解当地人如何construct mental illness,所以关于可爱的傻子和可怕的神经病人的对比我更喜欢。
评分Scheper Hughes basically got kicked out by a whole village of people because of this book. What intrigued me more than the psychiatric conditions in remote Irish villages is the ongoing debate on knowledge vs ethics in the anthropological field. Would strongly recommend 'Ire in Ireland' (also by Scheper-Hughes) as follow-up reading.
