Other Histories

Informationen zum Autor Kirsten Hastrup Klappentext The historization of anthropology has entailed a radically new view upon history and the nature of history. This collection of papers from the first conference of the newly formed European Association of Social Anthropologists demonstrate how ways of thinking about history are important features of any production of history, and how cultural concepts enter as forcs of historical causation. Zusammenfassung Explores the nature of history and assesses the position of history within social anthropology. Using historical and ethnographic material, the contributors show how cultural concepts act as forces of historical causation.
