Anthropology is changing. Traditionally seen as the comparative
study of cultural diversity, Anthropology now faces an increasingly
globalised world, a world in which societies are not discrete or
unique but are all, to some degree, connected. The role of the
anthropologist is now less the comparative study of specific
cultures than the study of the flow of goods, persons and ideas in
the contemporary world. The World of the Anthropologist is a guide
to this changing world, revealing what Anthropology is today and
what anthropologists do now. This book explains what remains of a
traditional Anthropology - such as the anthropological construction
of kinship, politics, religion and economics as well as the
continuing centrality of fieldwork -- and also explores the newer
territory which Anthropology is studying, such as performance,
science, sexuality, media, ethics, and visual culture. Clearly
explaining the key ideas and methods which underpin the subject --
from fieldwork through to the construction of knowledge itself -
The World of the Anthropologist offers a fascinating insight into
and overview of Anthropology today.
