内容紹介

Do places influence human behavior?
In everyday thinking, spaces and places are generally seen as empty vessels where human activity occurs. Digging a bit deeper, we can distinguish spaces from places: places are spaces that have meanings attached — an empty room becomes a classroom or a bedroom depending on what people do in it. Focusing on the Japanese concept ba — usually translated as ‘place’ — these studies recognize that places imbued with social meaning influence human behavior. Ba takes into account the social context, the norms that dictate behavior, the mood of a place, and the individual’s feelings about it. Conceptualized as ba, places limit and direct what we can do, and in the process, shape who we are. Drawing from a wide array of ethnographic studies, this collection illustrates various ways in which place and human agency co-emerge

 「場所」とは,ただ,人の活動が行われる空の容器ではない。何もない部屋が,人の行動によって教室になったり寝室になったりするように,人によって何らかの意味が付加されることで,「空間」は「場所」となる。しかもその「場所」は,ただ社会的な意味が込められた「空間」というだけでない。日本語の「場」という概念は,「space」や「place」の持つ,より深い作用を表現する。すなわち「場」とは,社会的な背景,行動を規定する規範,雰囲気,個人の感情などを含めた,人間の行動に影響を与える人を取り巻く何かであり,このように概念化されたとき,「場所」は,私たちができることを制限し,指示し,その過程で私たち自身を形成する空間であることが分かる。
 日本の暗黒舞踏や世界中の伝統音楽,伝統舞踊への参与型の民族誌を通し,場所と人間のエージェンシーがいかに共に立ち現れるのかに迫る,気鋭の人類学者による挑戦。
