Writing Culture

Produktbeschreibung

"Humanists and social scientists alike will profit from reflection on the efforts of the contributors to reimagine anthropology in terms, not only of methodology, but also of politics, ethics, and historical relevance. Every discipline in the human and social sciences could use such a book."--Hayden White, author of Metahistory

"A distinguished, original, and highly significant collection."--Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern 

Kritik

The questions raised by these essays examine the parameters and consequences of anthropological (and other) writing to an extent that goes beyond any previous collection. Highly recommended.
