Anthropology is both outside of history and within it. Histories of
anthropology tend to summarise particular authors' intellectual
differences; but, as Marc Auge argues in this book, first published
in English in 1982, these differences may in fact be intrinsically
derived from intellectual divisions within anthropology as obvious
as they are irreconcilable. Auge identifies, in contemporary
debates in French anthropology, the paths that perhaps allow us to
transcend these oppositions. On doing so, he explores and clarifies
the relationship that anthropology enjoys with history, on the
intellectual plane, and with politics, on the historical plane. His
argument is stimulating and challenging, and will interest all
social anthropologists and sociologists concerned with the
theoretical foundations of their disciplines, as well as
demonstrating to historians and political scientists what
anthropology has to offer them.
