Inspired by existential thought, but using ethnographic methods,
Jackson explores a variety of compelling topics, including 9/11,
episodes from the war in Sierra Leone and its aftermath, the
marginalization of indigenous Australians, the application of new
technologies, mundane forms of ritualization, the magical use of
language, the sociality of violence, the prose of suffering, and
the discourse of human rights. Throughout this compelling work,
Jackson demonstrates that existentialism, far from being a
philosophy of individual being, enables us to explore issues of
social existence and coexistence in new ways, and to theorise
events as the sites of a dynamic interplay between the finite
possibilities of the situations in which human beings find
themselves and the capacities they yet possess for creating viable
forms of social life.
