Description

Explore the evolution of ethnographic thought with Time and the Work of Anthropology: Critical Essays 1971-1981. Part of the Studies in Anthropology and History series, this collection examines the shift toward post-modern ethnography. The text traces the development of the dialogical approach, the autobiographical perspective, and the importance of text-interpretation as they emerge from the practical realities of field research. Readers will follow the movement away from the timeless theorizing of structuralism and functionalism toward a focus on time and history. This transition occurs as anthropology engages with its own epistemology. The essays also address the politics of representing the other. In later sections, the author moves against post-modern fashions to re-assert essential academic needs. This book is an essential resource for those studying the history and methodology of social sciences.
