{"product_id":"the-end-of-anthropology-holger-jebens-9781907774058","title":"The End of Anthropology?","description":"Decolonisation, modernisation, globalisation, the crisis of representation, and the 'cultural turn' in neighbouring disciplines have unsettled anthropology to such an extent that the field's foundations, the subjects of its study as well as its methods and concepts, appear to be eroded. It is now time to take stock and either abandon anthropology as a fundamentally untenable or superfluous project, or to set it on more solid foundations. In this volume some of the world's leading anthropologists - including Vincent Crapanzano, Maurice Godelier, Ulf Hannerz and Adam Kuper - do just that. Reflecting on how to meet the manifold institutional, theoretical, methodological, and epistemological challenges to the field, as well as on the continued, if not heightened, importance of anthropology in a world where diversity and cultural difference are becoming ever more important economically, politically, and legally, they set upon the task of reconstructing anthropology's foundations and firming up its stance vis-à-vis these challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Holger Jebens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 190777405X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907774058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sean Kingston Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012","brand":"Holger Jebens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437127774463,"sku":"9781907774058","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6393f05f-81da-4a92-9ea8-359d33d04ab7.jpg?v=1777160051","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-end-of-anthropology-holger-jebens-9781907774058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
