商品簡介
Geertz (emeritus, anthropology, Princeton U.) analyzes transformations in material culture and social relations over time in a village temple in Bali. Drawing upon on-site studies conducted over a 20-year period, she considers what the statues, structures, and designs of Pura Desa Batuan convey to those who worship there. She also explores Western artistic concepts such as aesthetics and representation and confronts the dilemmas they create in field research and ethnographic writing. The text is accompanied by b&w photographs, drawings, and maps. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
