In two volumes, the SAGE Handbook of Social Anthropology provides
the definitive overview of contemporary research in the discipline.
It explains the what, where, and how of current and anticipated
work in Social Anthropology. With 80 authors, contributing more
than 60 chapters, this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date
statement of research in Social Anthropology available and the
essential point of departure for future projects. The Handbook is
divided into four sections: -Part I: Interfaces examines Social
Anthropology's disciplinary connections, from Art and Literature to
Politics and Economics, from Linguistics to Biomedicine, from
History to Media Studies. -Part II: Places examines place, region,
culture, and history, from regional, area studies to a globalized
world -Part III: Methods examines issues of method; from archives
to war zones, from development projects to art objects, and from
ethics to comparison -Part IV: Futures anticipates anthropologies
to come: in the Brain Sciences; in post-Development; in the Body
and Health; and in new Technologies and Materialities Edited by the
leading figures in social anthropology, the Handbook includes a
substantive introduction by Richard Fardon, a think piece by Jean
and John Comaroff, and a concluding last word on futures by Marilyn
Strathern. The authors - each at the leading edge of the discipline
- contribute in-depth chapters on both the foundational ideas and
the latest research. Comprehensive and detailed, this magisterial
Handbook overviews the last 25 years of the social anthropological
imagination. It will speak to scholars in Social Anthropology and
its many related disciplines.
