Todd Sanders

This second edition of the widely praised Anthropology in Theory: Issues in Epistemology , features a variety of updates, revisions, and new readings in its comprehensive presentation of issues in the history of anthropological theory and epistemology over the past century. Provides a comprehensive selection of 60 readings and an insightful overview of the evolution of anthropological theory Revised and updated to reflect an on-going strength and diversity of the discipline in recent years, with new readings pointing to innovative directions in the development of anthropological research Identifies crucial concepts that reflect the practice of engaging with theory, particular ways of thinking, analyzing and reflecting that are unique to anthropology Includes excerpts of seminal anthropological works, key classic and contemporary debates in the discipline, and cutting-edge new theorizing Reveals broader debates in the social sciences, including th.e relationship between society and culture; language and cultural meanings; structure and agency; identities and technologies; subjectivities and trans-locality; and meta-theory, ontology and epistemology.

Guangtian Ha

Anthropology is at a crossroad; in the twilight of the human as the nuclear bomb increasingly replaces the nuclear family in defining who we are and how we feel, anthropologists are claiming for the venerable discipline a special status in explaining why the end of the human sciences spells new promises for all creatures, living or otherwise. In this course we walk – totter down, more precisely – the path of modern anthropology to trace the intended shifts and unexpected turns that mark this young – and notorious – discipline from its early days to the present. Texts are chosen primarily for their innovative and rounded arguments; but accessibility – even enjoyability – is also considered. The order of their arrangement is not necessarily chronological, though a cursory look will reveal a rough chronology. The ethnographies are chosen for their demonstration of the breath-taking diversity of the anthropological enterprise; they show an impressive variety of the approaches adopted by anthropologists in the study of societies, cultures, and more often than not, the limit of humanity. How can we come to grips with the present by engaging with the past? How do we explain death in the age of atomic and H-bombs using theory fashioned us by the Zuni and the Guayaki? Does anthropology teach us how to live, or how we cannot not die?

Reviews in Anthropology

Albert Doja

Discourse analysis and ethnography are sophisticated research methods used in fieldwork by all anthropologists. The recent tendencies in both linguistic and political anthropology have made even abundantly clear that reflexive ethnography and discourse analysis are become central for the current fundamental developments in anthropological theory. The discussion of anthropological methods as the political reproduction of knowledge cannot be, however, for the merely sake of an exclusive self-reflexive methodology and discoursing verbal flow. I strongly believe that the scope of anthropology as a discipline, be it linguistic or political, by using different kinds of research methods for writing and talking culture and cultural content is supposed to be after all a search of cultural meaning and cultural understanding. Namely, beyond questions of methodology, I try in these two articles to understand the politics of identity and religion in their organisational structure as ideological and cultural system as well as how they are reproduced in some recent anthropological accounts.

This paper demonstrates realist ethnographic paradigms and practices of engaging an extended period of time to collect the information of distinctive socio-cultural structures or institutions of alien tribal or indigenous societies and describing their cultural ways of life patterns in positivistic manner detaching them from the research process. It argues that the interpretive or hermeneutic wave of ethnography deconstructs this Western hegemonic research tradition giving birth to the interpretation of socio-cultural world of the researched attaching meaning to what they say and do. It further argues that the emergence of critical reflexive ethnographic tradition is the dramatic shift that challenges the colonial ethnographic practices giving space to the self as reflexive research participant. It helps to contest the colonial assumptions of structured and objective visualization of the world and authoritative representation of the other. The ethnographic tradition is further shif...

Dialectical Anthropology

Moslih Kanaaneh

Anthropologists in general believe that there is an unresolved "tension" or contradiction between being indigenous and being anthropologist. Long-term engagement in the anthropological community leaves one with the absolute confidence that this belief (though almost never explicitly stated) informs the general mood prevailing in the discipline and its departments and associations. For, anthropologists in general somewhat feel that being indigenous entails the danger of becoming subjective, biased or, simply, less scientific. With regard to Third World indigenous anthropologists in particular, being indigenous is considered not only a danger that must be avoided, but a flaw that must be “fixed” or an obstacle that must be overcome. As such, the anthropology reader’s evaluation of the “scientificity” and “anthropologicality” of the product of a Third World indigenous anthropologist is inevitably an evaluation in terms of: “did this indigenous anthropologist manage to ‘fix’ the flow and overcome the obstacle of being indigenous?”

A Post-Exotic Anthropology of Soqotra Vol. 1

Serge D. Elie, D.Phil

This Prologue outlines the broad set of concerns that constitute the context in which this book intervenes. Accordingly, it summarizes the nature of the research project that resulted in this two-volume total community study of Soqotra; it identifies the initial vector that launched my quest for an alternative to the prevailing practice of anthropology; it invites the global audience of established and aspiring social scientists, to whom the book is addressed, to consider a different modality of doing anthropology; it highlights the pitfalls of the narcissistic foundation of ethnography and calls for its abandonment; it explains my oppositional attitude toward the transactional nature of fieldwork and its bathos; it situates Soqotra within an interstitial geo-cultural space that exempts it from the prevailing assumptions and themes associated with neighboring regional social formations; it proposes the re-centering of research subjects as audience of our research results as part of a discursive ethic of reciprocity; it laments the intellectual impasse engendered by the discipline’s anachronistic commitment to a Eurocentric geopolitics of knowledge production that insists on a West-Rest antinomy and suggests an exit strategy; and finally, it confronts the endemic dumbing-down campaign for the use of “plain English” in academic social science that promotes the use of language as “mental popcorn.”

Scott MacLeod

In this paper I want to examine both Evans-Pritchard’s and Malinowski’s concepts of culture and the role the individual plays in the context of epistemology, a theory of knowledge. Evans-Pritchard emphasized the role of subjectivity as a lens with which to examine the behavior of people, implicitly separating the study of natural science as a field of study from the historical/cultural study of people; in contrast to Malinowski, ‘individual’s’ motivations do not play a significant role in Evans-Pritchard’s thought, but humans are also not automatons of social structure. Malinowski assumed that Trobriand Islanders were rational, self-interested actors, and framed his understanding of the individual in terms of an elastic culture-concept of functionalism, which had a number of key meanings for him, but which, for him, served primarily to integrate the society. In this paper I want to contextualize the implications inherent in these anthropologists’ theories of knowledge within a broader map of epistemology and philosophy. I want to address what Evans-Pritchard and Malinowski viewed as the ‘objects’ of their study and where these conceptions might fit within a version of a map of the way branches of knowledge relate to each other, drawn from The Oxford Companion to Philosophy (see map below). For the purposes of this paper, I want simply to identify where anthropology might situate itself epistemologically in terms of Evans-Pritchard and Malinowski’s main approaches. I want to propose that while both authors create stylistically ‘interesting’ anthropological accounts, neither author can be said to have created a coherent approach that comfortably or logically situates itself within the epistemological categories of knowledge suggested by the map. By examining this map of knowledge in relation to the work of these critical anthropologists, I want to draw into relief both some of the strengths and weaknesses of anthropological ‘knowledge.’

Helmut Wautischer, ed.Tribal Epistemologies: Essays in the Philosophy of Anthropology. Burlington vt: Ashgate Publishing, 1998. 264 pp. Cloth, $79.95. Anne Waters, Albuquerque nm What is it that perennially leads to questions about our humanly situated place in the cosmos? Perhaps it is as Rudolph C. Ryser comments in an article called "Observations on `Self ' and `Knowing' " in a new book titled Tribal Epistemology: Essays in the Philosophy of Anthropology, edited by Helmut Wautischer: "Like all people, humans have the capacity to learn; but humans have a greater need to learn owing to their relative youth, inexperience, and lack of knowledge. It is because of this serious limitation that humans have needed a brain that allows them to learn more things" (28). This idea complements Wautischer's view in his introductory article, "Pathways to Knowledge," that "consciousness is but a tool through which power symbols are recognized and managed" (3). These explanations of why and how human consciousness learns, via the use of consciousness's tools, may suggest why postmodernism embraces the standpoint of multiple truths. The reasoning process, via tools of consciousness, closes the dual chasms of subject and object--what appears to modern science as a tripartite dual

First published in 1998, this collection of ten essays transforms our understanding of both the role of philosophical anthropology in modern world philosophy and the origins of tribal knowledge in their relation to contemporary assessments of cognition and consciousness. Ethnographic data from geographically distant cultures - such as the Maori of New Zealand, the Fore of New Guinea, the Sea Nomads of the Andaman, the Cowlitz of North America, the Maya, Australian Aborigines, Siberian Shamans - are carefully crafted toward an empirical basis for discussing a variety of phenomena traditional labelled in Western thought as transcendent or metaphysical. This anthology is a valuable source of information relevant for any theories of knowledge and a solid challenge for reductionist models of consciousness. The essays enhance our recognition and appreciation of fundamental similarities as well as differences in world views and cultural perspectives related to knowledge claims. This anthology illustrates unplumbed depths of human consciousness, reveals experiential understandings beyond linguistic thought, and stands aside from the view that behaviour and intelligence can be understood by deterministic principles.

This volume of essays should be read with stereoscopic vision: one lens focusing on the rich ethnographic material of folk societies, the other focusing on the wider awareness of how we come to know what we know. It features specialists in philosophy, ethnology and comparative sociology, comparative religion, cross-cultural psychology, physical anthropology, environmental and marine scientists, Indian affairs, anthropology, comparative literature, shamanism and theoretical biology. These contributors explore issues including individuality in relational cultures, Maori epistemology, shamanistic knowledge and cosmology and images of conduct, character and personhood in the Native American tradition.
