It was published while Benedict was still a doctoral student studying under Franz Boaz at Columbia University. In this paper, we can already see Benedict's approach to the study of culture that characterizes her work: a careful study of details to reveal diversity and to defy blanket classifications. In describing the diversity of the vision-seeking pattern of the American Indians of the Plains, Benedict discusses how the acquisition of guardian spirits is related to the use of torture, the shamanistic caste, the free exercise of supernatural powers by all men, the conception of visions as savings-bank securities, or the compassion of Wakanda (The Great Spirit) . Translation of this discussion required extensive background research on these customs. "Medicine bundle" of the Plains Indians, which is a collection of objects which symbolizes the spiritual path of an individual or a group, was a term that was particularly difficult to translate. We opted to translate it as メディスン・バンドル with an explanation in parentheses.}, pages = {69--89}, title = {[翻訳] ルース・ベネディクト「平原インディアンの文化における幻視」 : 文化の多様性を探る}, volume = {21}, year = {2019} }
