Abstract

A have decided to speak of "the gods" rather than "religion," and the "political domain" (le politique) to identify the specific domain that has been recognized as such (to politikon) ever since Aristotle. As for the earliest Greek cities, they constitute the area of my present fieldwork. No doubt you thought, "Presumably, he's a Hellenist" . . . and there is, for heaven's sake, surely nothing shameful about being a Hellenist. All the sanie, I should like to make it clear that, very early on, I was lucky enough to embark upon comparative studies. What kind of comparative stud ies? The kind that involves historians working with anthro pologists, and vice versa. But to work as an anthropologist particularly concerned with the comparativist approaches of ethnologists and historians is more complex than it may ap pear.1 When Hellenists hear of someone "doing anthropology with the ancient Greeks," they manifest irritation, and as for historians?I am thinking of mainstream historians, those of our "major" nations of both today and yesterday?they too are usually less than enthusiastic, particularly if it is a matter of embarking upon comparativism of a widely ranging na ture.
早期希腊城市中的政治之神
A决定用“众神”而不是“宗教”,用“政治领域”(le politique)来识别自亚里士多德以来就被认为是这样的特定领域(对政治而言)。至于最早的希腊城市,它们构成了我目前田野研究的领域。毫无疑问,你会想,“他大概是个希腊人”…而且,看在上帝的份上,作为一个希腊人肯定没有什么可耻的。尽管如此,我还是想说清楚,很早的时候,我就很幸运地开始了比较研究。什么样的比较研究?包括历史学家和人类学家的合作,反之亦然。但是,作为一名人类学家,尤其关注民族学家和历史学家的比较主义方法,要比看起来复杂得多当希腊人听说有人“用古希腊人研究人类学”时,他们会表现出愤怒,至于历史学家呢?我想的是主流历史学家,我们今天和昨天的“主要”国家的历史学家?他们通常也不那么热情,尤其是在涉及范围广泛的比较主义的问题上。

期刊介绍: MORE THAN humane philology is essential for keeping the classics as a living force. Arion therefore exists to publish work that needs to be done and that otherwise might not get done. We want to stimulate, provoke, even "plant" work that now finds no encouragement or congenial home elsewhere. This means swimming against the mainstream, resisting the extremes of conventional philology and critical fashion into which the profession is now polarized. But occupying this vital center should in no way preclude the crucial centrifugal movement that may lead us across disciplinary lines and beyond the academy. Our commitment is to a genuine and generous pluralism that opens up rather than polarizes classical studies.
