Anthropology poses an explicit challenge to standard notions of
scientific knowledge. It claims to produce genuine insights into
the workings of culture in general on the basis of individual
social experience in the field. Social Experience and
Anthropological Knowledge traces the process from the ethnographic
experience to the analytical results, showing how fieldwork enables
the ethnographer to arrive at an understanding, not only of
`culture' and `society', but also of the processes by which
cultures and societies are transformed. The contributors challenge
the distinction between subjectivity and objectivity, redefine what
we should mean by `empirical' and demonstrate the complexity of
present-day epistemological problems through concrete examples. By
demystifying subjectivity in the ethnographic process and
re-emphasizing the vital position of fieldwork, they do much to
renew confidence in the anthropological project of comprehending
the world.
