内容説明
The influence of French intellectual thought on anthropology worldwide has been immense. This set of outstanding essays examines the influence of Levi-Strauss, internal debates concerning anthropology's place within French culture, the way that anthropologists in France approach the dilemmas of practising in a globalized world, and the shifting relationship between anthropology and museums. They also contain a highly stimulating discussion of how anthropology 'at home' has a particular trajectory in France. Together, they allow us to appreciate better why France has been such a stimulating laboratory for anthropological thought and why it is likely to remain so in the future. Indeed, leading figures have emerged there not only because of the brilliance of French academic culture, but also because of a specific readiness to combine an interest in public life and philosophy with anthropology. A splendid volume: extremely informative and very clearly written. The editor and the authors are to be congratulated on the way they have worked up the material into a coherent account of the contemporary French anthropological scene.
It provides a model for subsequent works in the series, and a model too in general for how to make a collection of essays into a good book. Tim Jenkins, Reader in Anthropology and Religion, University of Cambridge This compelling book provides rich insight into the traditions and institutions of French anthropology, and a unique perspective on the new theoretical approaches that are shaping the discipline's renewal after Levi-Strauss. Marc Abeles, Director of Research, CNRS; Director of Studies, EHESS"
