In this powerful, compassionate work, one of anthropology's most distinguished ethnographers weaves together rich fieldwork with a compelling critical analysis in a book that will surely make a signal contribution to contemporary thinking about violence and how it affects everyday life. Veena Das examines case studies including the extreme violence of the Partition of India in 1947 and the massacre of Sikhs in 1984 after the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In a major departure from much anthropological inquiry, Das asks how this violence has entered 'the recesses of the ordinary' instead of viewing it as an interruption of life to which we simply bear witness. Das engages with anthropological work on collective violence, rumor, sectarian conflict, new kinship, and state and bureaucracy as she embarks on a wide-ranging exploration of the relations among violence, gender, and subjectivity. Weaving anthropological and philosophical reflections on the ordinary into her analysis, Das points toward a new way of interpreting violence in societies and cultures around the globe. The book will be indispensable reading across disciplinary boundaries as we strive to better understand violence, especially as it is perpetrated against women.

The tradition of fieldwork meant that anthropologists learnt about systems by entering into relationships with those whose social life they were studying. (查看原文)

非常好看，尽管更像札记而不是特别完整的民族志写作，尽管有过强的审美倾向。喜欢她讨论时间的部分，还有谈女性苦难从印度讲到中世纪欧洲。

倒是也不敢说自己看懂了，毕竟是作者呕心沥血酝酿了二十载的东西。但这是我第一次看到真正融汇了哲学与人类学的作品，就其深度上来说不得不感到叹服。 以后有机会一定再进一步阅读。
