PDF-(EBOOK)-Minima Ethnographica: Intersubjectivity and the Anthropological Project

The postmodern opposition between theory and lived reality has led in part to an anthropological turn to dialogic or reflexive approaches Michael Jackson claims these approaches are hardly radical as they still drift into such abstractions as society or culture His Minima Ethnographica proposes an existential anthropology that recognizes even abstract relationships as modalities of interpersonal life Written in the style of Theodor Adornos Minima Moralia Jacksons work shows how general ideas are always anchored in particular social events and critical concerns Emphasizing the intersubjective encounter over objective descriptions of the whole historical and contemporary situation of a given people he illustrates the power and originality of existential anthropology through a series of vignettes from his fieldwork in Sierra Leone and Australia An awardwinning poet novelist and anthropologist Jackson offers a timely critique of conventions that dull our sense of the links between academic study and lived experience. 73 Anthropological Notebooks, XVII/1, 2011 stantial research evidence to back it up and it is used as a passe partout tool for referring to auto-critical thought and works.

The sixth edition of this market-leading introduction to anthropological theory offers 43 seminal essays from 1860 through the present day, including six new essays from Kroeber, Benedict, Spradley, Wardlow, Ortner, and Gomberg-Munoz. Accessible introductions and commentary provide necessary background information and historical context of each article. This edition also features a new timeline and recommended additional readings. Presenting a selection of critical essays in anthropology from 1860 to the current day, this sixth edition of Anthropological Theory includes classic authors such as Tylor, Marx, Boas, Malinowski, Foucault, Turner, and Geertz as well as contemporary thinkers such as Appadurai, Abu-Lughod, and Bourgois. Most essays are reprinted without abridgement. Those that are shortened include notes explaining how much and what was removed. What sets McGee and Warms\' text apart from other readers are its introductions, footnotes, and index. Detailed introductions examine critical developments in theory, introduce key people and discuss historical and personal influences on theorists. In extensive footnotes the editors provide commentary that puts the writing in historical and cultural context, defines unusual terms, translates non-English phrases, identifies references to other scholars and their works, and offers paraphrases and summaries of complex passages. The notes identify and provide background information on hundreds of scholars and concepts important in the development of anthropology. This makes the essays more accessible to both students and current day scholars. An extensive index makes this book an invaluable reference tool. From the inception of the discipline in the 19th century, great ideas have always inspired and guided anthropologists when conducting their research amongst people all over the world. Such great ideas are born from the social and political contexts of their creators, and the challenge for scholars of anthropology today is to understand the value these ideas bring to modern fields of enquiry.Each chapter in this textbook has been written to provide a thorough yet engaging introduction to one particular theoretical school and style. These chapters build up to a coherent and well-organised picture of the history and contemporary shape of anthropological theory. Beginning with an introduction which reflects on the substantive themes which tie the chapters together, the book ends with an afterword by Marilyn Strathern reflecting on broader themes in the use of history and anthropological concepts.Presenting a detailed and comprehensive critical introduction to the most salient areas of the field, this book is essential reading for all undergraduate students undertaking a course on anthropological theory or the history of anthropological thought. It will also be useful reading for students of social and cultural anthropology, sociology, and human geography, and those enrolled in an anthropology course during their postgraduate degree with no background in the field. Expert anthropologist shows missionaries how to better understand the people they serve and their historical and cultural settings.
