具体描述
Benedict Anderson was Aaron L. Binenkorp Professor of International Studies Emeritus at Cornell University. He was editor of the journal Indonesia and author of Java in a Time of Revolution, The Spectre of Comparisons: Nationalism, Southeast Asia, and the World and Imagined Communities.
An intellectual memoir by the author of the acclaimed Imagined Communities
Benedict Anderson is one of the leading historians of nationalism and Southeast Asia. His seminal book Imagined Commu-nities has changed the way we think about the reason why people live, die and kill in the name of nation-hood.
Born in China, Anderson spent his childhood in California and Ireland, was educated in England and finally found a home at Cornell University, where he immersed himself in the growing field of Southeast Asian studies. After field work in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, he was banned from Suharto’s Indonesia for disputing the legitimacy of the 1965 coup. In his memoir, he brings to life the intellectual formation of a life spent open to the world, resisting the easy comforts of imagined homes: the joys of learning languages; the importance of field work; the influence of the New Left upon global think-ing; and the satisfactions of teaching.
用户评价
##Anderson的受教育经历与Tony Judt非常相似——战后，伦敦，靠奖学金才得以接受精英教育，分外强调历史、语言学习和文学的人文教育背景，并且两人的生活和研究经历都在突出陌生感在学术研究中的作用。这本书里时不时涉及的美国学科构建、评定教职、对跨学科和“理论”的追捧，被行业黑话所腐蚀的学术写作，让人不得不思考我们是不是在错误的道路上越走越远。
评分##我如此强调我总体上好运连连：我出生的时间和地点、我的父母和祖先、我的语言、我的教育、我移居美国，以及我在东南亚的经历。它让我觉得像是留下来和店主多聊了五分钟的老爷爷。 当这样的机会一闪而过的时候，你必须非常勇敢或者莽撞地抓住它。对真正具有生产力的学术生命而言...
评分 评分##成长及田野经历的部分太精彩。学术部分的话，保持一种开阔的跨学科/地域视野固然重要，不过安德森这种cosmopolitanism毕竟还是一种旧欧洲瓦解之前的所谓布尔乔亚知识分子的精神乃至阶级遗留，年轻人看了不要太冲动。。。
评分##Insightful perspectives about interdisciplinary studies and academic environments from the 1950s of Europe and USA with interesting anecdotes. Loved to see the Southeast Asia through his eyes. An enjoyable read. Last but not the least, frogs of the world unite!
评分 评分##Blend // 目的从不是简化问题，也不是寻求二元的答案 // nationalism和internationalism // 能跳出椰壳碗的青蛙都是幸运的 “跃出椰壳碗下的青蛙” 在泰国和印度尼西亚有一种比喻，一只青蛙被扣在椰壳碗下面。“静静地坐在椰壳下，青蛙很快就开始觉得椰壳碗圈起了整个宇宙。”“对于这个印象的道德判断是青蛙无缘无故地心胸狭隘、迂腐守旧、深居简出和自我满足。就我而言，我在任何地方都无法久居到安...
评分 评分##Benedict Anderson shows that a real internationalist should respect cultural diversity and minority rights. 各美其美，天下大同。
