A major concern in current anthropological thinking is that the
method of recording or translating into writing a society's
cultural expressions--dance, rituals, pottery, the social use of
space, et al--cannot help but fundamentally alter the meaning of
the living words and deeds of the culture in question.
Consequently, recent researchers have developed more dialogic
methods for collecting, interpreting, and presenting data. These
new techniques have yielded much success for anthropologists
working in Latin America, especially in their efforts to understand
how economically, politically, and socially subordinated groups use
culture and language to resist the dominant national culture and to
assert a distinct historical identity. This collection addresses
these issues of "texts" and textuality as it explores various Latin
American languages and cultures.
