What do we mean when we refer to the world? How does the world
relate to the human person? Are the two interdependent and, if so,
in what way? What does the world mean for the ethnographer and the
anthropologist? Much has been said of worlds and worldviews, but
are we really certain we know what we mean when use these words?
Asking these questions and many more, this book explores the
conditions of possibility for the ethnographic gesture and how
those possibilities can shed light on the relationship between
humans and the world in which they are found. As Joao de
Pina-Cabral shows, important changes have occurred over the past
decades concerning the way in which we relate the way we think to
the way we are as a humanity embodied. Exploring new confrontations
with a new conceptualization of the human condition, Cabral
sketches a new anthropology, one that contributes to an ongoing
separation from the socio-centric and representationalist
constraints that have plagued the social sciences over the past
century.
