| 摘要 | Imagining the Course of Life offers a rich portrait of rural life in contemporary Southeast Asia and an accessible introduction to the complexities of Theravada Buddhism as it is actually lived and experienced. It is both an ethnography of indigenous views of human development and a theoretical consideration of how any ethnopsychology is embedded in society and culture. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in a Shan village in northern Thailand, Nancy Eberhardt illustrates how indigenous theories of the life course are connected to local constructions of self and personhood. In the process, she draws our attention to contrasting models in the Euro-American tradition and invites us to reconsider how we think about the trajectory of a human life. 本書是一部兼具土著觀點的民族誌與理論角度的民族心理學，對於目前東南亞農村的生活有豐富的描繪，並以深入淺出、栩栩如生的方式，引領我們認識南傳佛教錯綜複雜的面貌。作者根據長期在泰北山村(Shan Village)的田野調查，闡述生命歷程的本土性議題如何與居民建構人生的方式發生關聯，並以之與歐美文化彼此參照。本書描述現實生活裡宗教與心理學之間的關係，說明村民們如何藉由宗教信仰來建構自己、看待別人，並在社會中為自己定位。作者在各個章節中，探討村民對於人類從呱呱墜地到垂垂老死的人生歷程抱持何種態度，從而顯示了村民對於人生、成長、性別、社會不平等、疾病、福祉、情感、心靈健康等問題的觀點。 |
