Michael Herzfeld was educated at the Universities of Cambridge (B.A. in Archaeology and Anthropology, 1969), Athens (non-degree program in Greek Folklore, 1969-70), Birmingham (M.A., Modern Greek Studies, 1972; D.Litt., 1989); and Oxford (Social Anthropology, D.Phil., 1976). Before moving to Harvard, he taught at Vassar College (1978-80) and Indiana University (1980-91) (where he served as Associate Chair of the Research Center for Language and Semiotic Studies, 1980-85, and as Chair of the Department of Anthropology, 1987-90). Lord Simon Visiting Professor at the University of Manchester in 1994, he has also taught at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (1995), Paris, at the Università di Padova (1992), the Università di Roma “La Sapienza” (1999-2000), and the University of Melbourne (intermittently since 2004), and has held a visiting research appointments at the Australian National University and the University of Sydney (1985), at the University of Adelaide, and at the Université de Paris-X (Nanterre) (1991).
Major lectures include the inaugural Distinguished Lecture in European Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (1996), the Munro Lecture at the University of Edinburgh (1997), the Journal of Anthropological Research Distinguished Lecture at the University of New Mexico (2001), the Einaudi Lecture at Cornell University (2004), the keynote address to the Association of Social Anthropologists of the British Commonwealth (2008), three lectures hosted by the Korea Research Foundation (2009), the Kimon Friar Lecture (Deree College, Athens, 2009), and the Eilert Sundt Lecture (University of Oslo, 2009).
His D.Litt. was awarded for a series of publications, including books and articles, that have set out his understanding of the processes at work in cultural identity construction in modern Greece.
A past president of both the Modern Greek Studies Association and the Society for the Anthropology of Europe, he was editor of American Ethnologist during 1994-98 and is now Editor at Large with specific responsibility for the feature "Polyglot Perspectives" in Anthropological Quarterly; he serves on numerous other editorial boards and is currently co-editor of “New Anthropologies of Europe” (Indiana University Press).
In addition to numerous articles and reviews, he has authored the following books: Ours Once More: Folklore, Ideology, and the Making of Modern Greece (1982), The Poetics of Manhood: Contest and Identity in a Cretan Mountain Village, Anthropology through the Looking-Glass: Critical Ethnography in the Margins of Europe (1987), A Place in History: Social and Monumental Time in a Cretan Town (1991), The Social Production of Indifference: The Symbolic Roots of Western Bureaucracy (1992), Cultural Intimacy: Social Poetics in the Nation-State (1997; a second, revised edition has just been released [2005]), Portrait of a Greek Imagination: An Ethnographic Biography of Andreas Nenedakis (1997), Anthropology: Theoretical Practice in Culture and Society (2001), The Body Impolitic: Artisans and Artifice in the Global Hierarchy of Value (2004), and Evicted from Eternity: The Restructuring of Modern Rome (2009). Several of his books have appeared, or are scheduled to appear, in other languages (Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Serbian, Croatian, Polish, and Chinese; a chapter of another has appeared in Japanese). He also filmed and produced Monti Moments: Men's Memories in the Heart of Rome (2007).
Herzfeld's field research has been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the American Philosophical Society, the Spencer Foundation, and the American Council of Learned Societies. He was a cowinner of the Chicago Folklore Prize for 1981. He has also been awarded the J.B. Donne Prize on the Anthropology of Art (1989) and the Rivers Memorial Medal (1994) (both by the Royal Anthropological Institute, London), and the J.I. Staley Prize (by the School of American Research, 1994). In 1997 Herzfeld was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
His current research activity includes completion of a book and a film about historic conservation and eviction in Bangkok and planned new research on Italin-Chinese interactions in Rome and on the profession of town planning in Italy and elsewhere.

当年在哈佛─燕京召开的国际彝学工作坊，经郝瑞建议，我和潘蛟专门邀请了赫茨菲尔德教授参加，他是论评人之一。
记得跟他一道喝咖啡时发现他到美国多年，但一直操着纯正的牛津腔。。。他是“文化亲密”概念（Culture Intimacy）的提出者，有人也译作“文化亲近”。
上海的童鞋们应该不会错过这个机会吧。。。 作者: Robot 时间: 2013-3-25 11:14 标题: Cultural Intimacy: Social Poetics In The Nation-state
Michael 说过，批评和质疑是对同事/同行(含师生关系)最好的尊重方式。而潘老师作为当年在Herzfeld教授“民族志案例批评阅读”课(Critical Readings in Ethnography) 有关无数“屈辱”经历(如连续三周被点到做主持或总结或概述发言)的学生，这次做评议人似乎是有了一次合理“报复”的机会。潘老师首先想到的是Engaged Anthropology 作为理念固然令人向往，但如何在不同的田野语境中践性(即“落地”)的问题。与此相关的另一伦理困境是，作为一名哈佛教授，他要采取何种策略和立场才能避免被当事人(如在罗马和曼谷因城市改造和住宅拆迁过程中被迫迁移的居民)过度利用或操纵摆布的命运。
然而对于像Michael 这样在四十年间辗转于希腊、意大利和泰国三地并且正在把研究触角指向中国的全能型人类学家来说，这一担心可能是多余的。就像他的挚友 Rubie & Woody Watson 一样，Michael 与田野所在地的关系从来不会因为研究的告一段落而停止。他的1985年获奖民族志作品 The Poetics of Manhood 被翻成希腊语出版之后，在克里特岛牧羊人中产生了意想不到的效应。以“偷羊交友”(We steal to make friends) 为豪的村民，常常为雅典精英知识分子们所忽视和轻侮，却在哈佛教授那里得到了经得住时间考验的尊重、欣赏和友情。可以说，Michael 的engagement 方式因时因地因人的不同，会有不同的方式来体现他勇于担当和负责任的道德立场。
