Description

This collection of critical essays examines the evolution of anthropological thought across a pivotal decade, tracing how the discipline moved away from timeless structuralist and functionalist frameworks toward approaches grounded in history and temporal awareness. The author explores the emergence of dialogical methods, autobiographical perspectives, and text-interpretation as defining features of post-modern ethnography, arguing these developments arose directly from the practical demands of fieldwork. Central to the work is a rigorous examination of anthropology's own epistemology and the politics of representing cultural others. The essays balance engagement with post-modern methodologies whilst reasserting the necessity for grounded, reflexive scholarly practice. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Anthropology and History series, this volume remains essential reading for scholars studying the disciplinary history of anthropology and the theoretical transformations that shaped contemporary ethnographic practice.
