{"product_id":"stuck-moving-peter-benson-9780520388741","title":"Stuck Moving: Or, How I Learned to Love (and Lament) Anthropology Volume 9","description":"This one-of-a-kind literary and conceptual experiment does anthropology differently--in all the wrong ways. No field trips. No other cultures. This is a personal journey within anthropology itself, and a kind of love story. A critical, candid, hilarious take on the culture of academia and, ultimately, contemporary society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eStuck Moving \u003c\/i\u003efollows a professor affected by bipolar disorder, drug addiction, and a stalled career who searches for meaning and purpose within a sanctimonious discipline and a society in shambles. It takes aim at the ableist conceit that anthropologists are outside observers studying a messy world. The lens of analysis is reversed to expose the backstage of academic work and life, and the unbecoming self behind scholarship. Blending cultural studies, psychoanalysis, comedy, screenwriting, music lyrics, and poetry, \u003ci\u003eStuck Moving\u003c\/i\u003e abandons anthropology's rigid genre conventions, suffocating solemnity, and enduring colonial model of extractive knowledge production. By satirizing the discipline's function as a culture resource for global health and the neoliberal university, this book unsettles anthropology's hopeful claims about its own role in social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Benson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520388747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520388741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Peter Benson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079165276415,"sku":"9780520388741","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88192538-3941-4381-95a2-4f910a10bf24.jpg?v=1685479671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stuck-moving-peter-benson-9780520388741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
