Publisher's Synopsis
The 57 articles collected in
Anthropology in Theory: Issues in Epistemology, together with the editors introduction, provide the most comprehensive selection of readings and insightful overview available of anthropological theory and epistemology over the past century.
Anthropology in Theory identifies crucial conceptual signposts for the continued resurgence of the discipline and new theoretical directions. Moreover, it demonstrates both the vitality and value of anthropological theorizing within the discipline, as well as how such anthropological projects are fundamentally reconfiguring broader debates in the social sciences: debates about society and culture; structure and agency; identities and technologies; subjectivities and translocality; meta–theory, ontology and epistemology; language and meaning; subjectivity and objectivity; and localities and globalities.
