康拉德•科塔克(Conrad Kottak) (生于1942年10月6日，美国佐治亚州亚特兰大)是一位美国人类学家。科塔克从事田野工作的地点遍及世界各地，包括巴西（1962年起）、马达加斯加（1966年起）与美国。他的主要研究兴趣，在于地方文化如何被整合（以及抗拒整合）进入较大的体系中。这项兴趣将他早年对非洲与马达加斯加的生态与国家形成的研究，连结到最近关于全球化变迁、国家与国际文化，以及大众传播媒体的研究。他目前是密歇根大学的人类学教授，他从1968年起在该校任教。他相信许多美国的传说故事，例如星舰奇航记、星际大战与感恩节的故事，已发展成一种神话，有朝一日可与希腊神话、罗马神话相提并论，或者是现在的一些故事被认为是神话。 科塔克因其学术工作成就，获颁多项殊荣：1992年他荣获密歇根大学文学、科学与艺术学院的杰出教学奖。1999年，美国人类学会颁给科...(展开全部)
