Anthropology is no longer a singular discipline, but rather a blend
of practices engaged in a wide variety of social contexts. New
questions have been posed by the challenge which third world, black
and feminist scholars have provided to the established agenda of
the social sciences and humanities in recent years. It is in this
context that the nature and purpose of social knowledge, and in
particular anthropological knowledge, comes into particular focus.
The question "what is social knowledge for"? is not intended to
provoke an answer, but rather a series of interrogations. In "The
Future of Anthropological Knowledge" the chapters explore the
question of the nature of social perspectives and locations such as
China, Africa, the USA and elsewhere.
By examining the changing nature of anthropological knowledge and
of the production of that knowledge, this book challenges the
notion that only western societies have produced social theories of
modernity and of global scope. Knowledge of society can no longer
be restricted to a knowledge of face-to-face social relations but
must encompass the effect of technology, global consumption
patterns and changing geo-political configurations. "The Future of
Anthropological Knowledge" will be of interest to anthropologists
and students of culture and society.
