Using the influential and field-changing Writing Culture as a point
of departure, the thirteen essays in Writing Culture and the Life
of Anthropology address anthropology's past, present, and future.
The contributors, all leading figures in anthropology today,
reflect back on the "writing culture" movement of the 1980s,
consider its influences on ethnographic research and writing, and
debate what counts as ethnography in a post-Writing Culture era.
They address questions of ethnographic method, new forms the
presentation of research might take, and the anthropologist's role.
Exploring themes such as late industrialism, precarity, violence,
science and technology, globalization, and the non-human world,
this book is essential reading for those looking to understand the
current state of anthropology and its possibilities going forward.
