Klappentext The first edition of Anthropology in Theory: Issues in Epistemology garnered widespread praise for its comprehensive presentation of issues relating to the history of anthropological theory and epistemology over the past century. The new edition includes a variety of revisions and updates to reflect an on-going resurgence of the discipline, and features several new readings that point to innovative theoretical directions in the development of anthropological theory in recent years.While tracing the course of anthropological theory, readings cover a broad range of topics that include excerpts and central concepts of seminal anthropological works, key classic and contemporary debates in the discipline, and cutting-edge new theorizing. Also revealed are the ways anthropological projects continue to shape broader debates in the social sciences--everything from society and culture, structure and agency, identities and technologies, subjectivities and trans-locality to meta-theory, ontology, and epistemology. At once enlightening and accessible, Anthropology in Theory: Issues in Epistemology, 2nd Edition, offers invaluable insights into the theoretical assumptions underlying the development of modern cultural anthropology. Zusammenfassung This second edition of the widely praised Anthropology in Theory: Issues in Epistemology, features a variety of updates, revisions, and new readings in its comprehensive presentation of issues in the history of anthropological theory and epistemology over the past century.
