Critical Junctions: Anthropology and History beyond the Cultural Turn by Don Kal

Description: Critical Junctions by Don Kalb, Herman Tak " . . . 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 FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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.
