二月最佳 写作标杆
评分希望有一天,历史学者也会有人类学家的感受力。
评分借用罗姆巴赫的一句话:“大地上的所有一切,必定是从它出发而产生的,对于大地所呈现的所有一切,它给予它们空间和状态、存在和时间”。
评分不只是醍醐灌顶而且还感人肺腑。完美践行了Kroeber的那句名言:Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities.
评分云山雾罩,却又在细节里通透,浸透了情感,单这些情感的成分,就足以使其成为最优秀的人类学作品,这不是一般作者能够处理的。
Erik Mueggler is professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan. He was a 2002 winner of the MacArthur Foundation Genius award.
This interesting book interweaves the stories of two early twentieth century botanists to explore the collaborative relationships each formed with Yunnan villagers in gathering botanical specimens from the borderlands between China, Tibet, and Burma. Mueggler introduces Scottish botanist George Forrest, who employed native ethnic Naxi adventurers in his fieldwork from 1906 until his death in 1932. We also meet American Joseph Francis Charles Rock, who, in 1924, undertook a dangerous expedition to Gansu and Tibet with the sons and nephews of Forrest's workers. Mueggler describes how the Naxi workers and their Western employers rendered the earth into specimens, notes, maps, diaries, letters, books, photographs, and ritual manuscripts. Drawing on an ancient metaphor of the earth as a book, Mueggler provides a sustained meditation on what can be copied, translated, and revised, and what can be folded back into the earth.
