This book explores the role and implications of responsibility for
anthropology, asking how responsibility is recognised and invoked
in the world, what relations it draws upon, and how it comes to
define notions of the person, institutional practices, ways of
knowing and modes of evaluation. The category of responsibility has
a long genealogy within the discipline of anthropology and it
surfaces in contemporary debates as well as in anthropologists’
collaboration with other disciplines, including when anthropology
is applied in fields such as development, medicine, and
humanitarian response. As a category that unsettles, challenges and
critically engages with political, ethical and epistemological
questions, responsibility is central to anthropological theory,
ethnographic practice, collaborative research, and applied
engagement. With chapters focused on a variety of cultural
contexts, this volume considers how anthropology can contribute to
a better understanding of responsibility, including the
‘responsibility of anthropology’ and the responsibility of
anthropologists to specific others.
