" . . . highly provocative and, for an edited book, unusually even
. . . Whether moved to agreement or to dissent, the reader will
learn much from this timely collection." . Focaal The "cultural
turn" has been a multifarious and pervasive phenomenon in Western
universities and modes of social knowledge since the early 1980s.
This volume focuses on the conjunction of two disciplines where
both the analytic promises as well as the difficulties involved in
the meeting of humanist and social science approaches soon became
obvious. Anthropologists and historians have come together here in
order to recapture, elaborate, and criticize pre-Cultural Turn and
non-Cultural Turn modes of analysing structures of experience,
feeling, subjectivity and action in human societies and to
highlight the still unexploited possibilities developed among
others in the work of scholars such as Norbert Elias, Max Gluckman,
Eric Wolf, E.P. Thompson and Raymond Williams.
