During its first six years (1986-1991), the journal Cultural
Anthropology provided a unique forum for registering the lively
traffic between anthropology and the emergent arena of cultural
studies. The nineteen essays collected in Rereading Cultural
Anthropology, all of which originally appeared in the journal,
capture the range of approaches, internal critiques, and new
questions that have characterized the study of anthropology in the
1980s, and which set the agenda for the present.
Drawing together work by both younger and well-established
scholars, this volume reveals various influences in the remaking of
traditions of ethnographic work in anthropology; feminist studies,
poststructuralism, cultural critiques, and disciplinary challenges
to established boundaries between the social sciences and
humanities. Moving from critiques of anthropological representation
and practices to modes of political awareness and experiments in
writing, this collection offers systematic access to what is now
understood to be a fundamental shift (still ongoing) in
anthropology toward engagement with the broader interdisciplinary
stream of cultural studies.
