How might the anthropological study of cosmologies - the ways in
which the horizons of human worlds are imagined and engaged -
illuminate understandings of the contemporary world? This book
addresses this question by bringing together anthropologists whose
research is informed by a concern with cosmological dimensions of
social life in different ethnographic settings. Its overall aim is
to reaffirm the value of the cosmological frame as a continuing
source of analytical insight. Attending to the novel cosmological
formations that emerge in such fields as modern markets, political
landscapes, digital media and popular cinema, the book's key task
is to explore how modern circumstances are constituted within the
variable imagination of worlds and their horizons. It will be of
interest to all students and researchers in anthropology, as well
as scholars in fields as diverse as film studies, cultural studies,
comparative religion, science and technology studies, and broader
social theory. -- .
