Anthropology, it is often argued, is an art of translation.
Recently, however, social theorists have raised serious doubts
about the translator's enterprise. Over the last few years the
human social and ecological habitat has seen spectacular
developments. Modern humans inhabit a 'global village' in a very
genuine sense. What lessons may be learned from these developments
for anthropology?
In Beyond Boundaries, ten anthropologists from different countries
address the problem of social understanding and cultural
translation from different theoretical as well as ethnographic
perspectives. Quite appropriately, given the general theme of the
volume, the contributors represent several different academic
traditions and communities - Britain, Finland, France, Iceland,
Israel, Japan, Norway, the former Soviet Union, and Sweden.
