Description

Explore the evolving landscape of anthropological study with Anthropology, by Comparison from Routledge. For a long time, comparison served as the backbone of the discipline, providing a framework for understanding human diversity and social structures. However, recent shifts in the field, including new case studies in a globalized world and a move away from grand theory, have changed how comparative work is viewed. This book addresses the current state of the discipline, examining how the critique of objectivist methodology and the move away from hard-science approaches in social sciences have impacted comparative methods. It argues for a return to the central task of anthropology: exploring humankind through comparison. By utilizing newfound critical self-awareness, this work looks to revitalize the comparative method for a modern era. This text is a significant resource for students and professionals looking to understand how anthropology can move forward by integrating critical reflection with its traditional comparative roots.
