Short bio
Frederick H. Damon earned his BA in Psychology at Duke University (1970) and Ph.D. in Anthropology from Princeton University (1978). He has taught at the University of Virginia since the 1976-77 academic year. He has lectured about his work in Australia, China, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Singapore, Spain and the US. He is a social anthropologist with regional interests in the Indo-Pacific, primarily Papua New Guinea and southeastern China. He also teaches and writes about modern Western societies, the United States his primary focus. Since 1973 he has spent more than 4 years on an island called Muyuw in Milne Bay Province (PNG), and since 1991 close to 1 year in China (PRC), mostly around Quanzhou in Fujian Province. Topically he has written about ritual, exchange and production systems, ethnobotany, and calendrical systems, employing symbolic approaches emanating from structuralism and the production orientation that developed from European Marxism in the 1960s and 1970s.
讲座内容:
本讲座从路易•杜蒙(Louis Dumont)的包含对立思想出发,探讨其对认识印度、南太平洋航海术、19世纪的美国或中国的社会结构的可能意义。杜蒙的模型最初是基于印度种姓制度的研究,提出“纯”与“不纯”之间的对立,但杜蒙的讨论忽略了分析性问题和可能性。
The Abstract:
This presentation discusses Louis Dumont’s ideas about encompassed contraries as they might be filtered through cultural orders in India, a South Pacific sailing structure, aspects of 19th century US social structure and perhaps China. Originally cast in terms of Dumont’s model of the Indian caste system, his opposition between the ‘pure’ and the ‘impure,’ the logical construct entails analytical problems and potentials overlooked in Dumont’s presentation. So where do we go with this interesting—and common?—cultural/logical device?
