This original, field-changing collection explores the plasticity
and unfinishedness of human subjects and lifeworlds, advancing the
conceptual terrain of an anthropology of becoming. People's
becomings trouble and exceed ways of knowing and acting, producing
new possibilities for research, methodology, and writing. The
contributors creatively bridge ethnography and critical theory in a
range of worlds on the edge, from war and its aftermath, economic
transformation, racial inequality, and gun violence to religiosity,
therapeutic markets, animal rights activism, and abrupt
environmental change. Defying totalizing analytical schemes, these
visionary essays articulate a human science of the uncertain and
unknown and restore a sense of movement and possibility to ethics
and political practice. Unfinished invites readers to consider the
array of affects, ideas, forces, and objects that shape
contemporary modes of existence and future horizons, opening new
channels for critical thought and creative expression.
Contributors. Lucas Bessire, Joao Biehl, Naisargi N. Dave,
