Collaborations responds to the growing pressure on the humanities
and social sciences to justify their impact and utility after cuts
in public spending, and the introduction of neoliberal values into
academia. Arguing 'in defense of' anthropology, the editors
demonstrate the continued importance of the discipline and reveal
how it contributes towards solving major problems in contemporary
society. They also illustrate how anthropology can not only survive
but thrive under these conditions. Moreover, Collaborations shows
that collaboration with other disciplines is the key to
anthropology's long-term sustainability and survival, and explores
the challenges that interdisciplinary work presents. The book is
divided into two parts: Anthropology and Academia, and Anthropology
in Practice. The first part features examples from anthropologists
working in academic settings which range from the life, behavioural
and social sciences to the humanities, arts and business. The
second part highlights detailed ethnographic contributions on
topics such as peace negotiations, asylum seekers, prostitution and
autism. Collaborations is an important read for students, scholars
and professional and applied anthropologists as it explores how
anthropology can remain relevant in the contemporary world and how
to prevent it from becoming an increasingly isolated and
marginalized discipline.
