This book makes a notable contribution to discussions of what
anthropology is and should be in the twenty-first century through a
reconsideration, from diverse sub-disciplinary and
interdisciplinary perspectives, of the interactions between
sociality, matter, and the imagination. It explores the imagination
in its social contexts, how it is put to work, and how, in its
embodied and material forms, it works in practice. The chapters
provide detailed case studies, including film-making in Egypt;
spirit-possession/exorcism in Italy; Theosophy and the production
of knowledge about UFOs; the role of mistakes or glitches in public
performances; humans' varying relationships to the environment;
post-coloniality, time, and crisis in anthropology; and artistic
creativity.
