The disruptive power of montage has often been regarded as a threat
to scholarly representations of the social world. This volume
asserts the opposite: that the destabilization of commonsense
perception is the very precondition for transcending social and
cultural categories. The contributors-anthropologists, filmmakers,
photographers, and curators-explore the use of montage as a
heuristic tool for comparative analysis in anthropological writing,
film, and exhibition making. Exploring phenomena such as human
perception, memory, visuality, ritual, time, and globalization,
they apply montage to restructure our basic understanding of social
reality. Furthermore, as George E. Marcus suggests in the
afterword, the power of montage that this volume exposes lies in
its ability to open the very "combustion chamber" of social theory
by juxtaposing one's claims to knowledge with the path undertaken
to arrive at those claims.
