这本英文期刊的封面,是电影《降临》?!

 

英国皇家人类学会( Royal Anthropology Institute)办的期刊Anthropology Today 的February 2018 这一期,封面是《降临》(Arrival)的海报!

 

这个电影是关于人类和外星人的语言接触问题,讨论了萨丕尔-沃夫假说(Sapir–Whorf hypothesis)。 

 


 里面收录了一篇文章:

Abstract

The recent Hollywood science fiction film Arrival features as its main character a linguist who explicitly references the Sapir‐Whorf hypothesis and linguistic relativism. Unusually for a mainstream film, Arrival presents the insights of linguistic anthropology as a key to the human‐alien encounter and combines these concerns with other key anthropological insights, particularly in relation to notions of time and the embodied nature of writing/drawing. In this article, the author argues that the film can be useful in thinking about anthropological debates on ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ versions of Sapir‐Whorf and suggests that a careful parsing of the anthropological concepts drawn on in the film provides food for thought about the possible usefulness of popular fictional concoctions for thinking through contemporary issues in anthropology and conveying them to a wider audience.
