The End of Anthropology?

Mehr zum Buch

The book addresses the significant challenges facing anthropology, including decolonisation, globalisation, and the crisis of representation. Leading anthropologists, such as Vincent Crapanzano and Maurice Godelier, explore whether the discipline should be abandoned or rebuilt. They reflect on the need to strengthen anthropology's foundations in light of evolving institutional and theoretical demands. The authors emphasize the discipline's relevance in an increasingly diverse world, advocating for a reconstruction of its methods and concepts to better address contemporary cultural complexities.
