Focusing on the social construction of morality, this study
discusses a topic which is complex but central to the study and
nature of anthropology. With the recent shift towards an interest
in indigenous notions of self and personhood, questions pertaining
to the moral and ethical origins of beliefs relating to human
rights become increasingly relevant. Some of the questions that the
contributors will be addressing are: how is the ethical knowledge
grounded? Which social domains most profoundly articulate moral
values and which are most affected? Who defines and who enforces
what is right and wrong? What constitutes an ethical breach?
Suggested answers are made with reference to empirical material so
that the complexities and varieties of theoretical and
methodological issues are highlighted. They are also discussed with
reference to a wide array of ethnographic studies from: Argentina,
Mongolia, Melanesia, Yemen, Zimbabwe, Mexico, Britain and The Old
Testament.
