The postmodernist critique of objectivism, realism and essentialism
has somewhat shattered the foundations of anthropology, seriously
questioning the legitimacy of studying others. By confronting the
critique and turning it into a vital part of the anthropological
debate, this study provides a discussion of central theoretical
problems in anthropology. It makes the case for a renewed and
invigorated scholarly anthropology with reference to recent
anthropological debates in Europe and the US, as well as to new
developments in linguistic theory and, especially, newer American
philosophy. Through discussions of the relationship between
language and the world, of "the empirical", of the nature of the
anthropological imagination, of the point of raising cultural and
theoretical awareness, this study argues that far from invalidating
the scholarly, even scientific, ambition of anthropology, the
recent insights into subjectivity, reflexivity and the writing of
culture give the discipline a new life and a new pertinence in the
world.
