Description
Anthropology has long been associated with the study of injustice and exploitation. Yet, its methods can also reveal unseen dimensions of the world at hand and offer radical perspectives on humanity's potential future. In "A Possible Anthropology", Anand Pandian explores the moral and political horizons of anthropological inquiry, examining how this field can be used to imagine a more just and equitable world. Pandian draws on the work of canonical figures like Bronislaw Malinowski and Claude Lévi-Strauss, as well as contemporary scholars and artists who have applied anthropological methods in innovative ways. By examining the creative and transformative potential of an experimental practice, Pandian sheds light on the possibilities for social change and cultural transformation. This book offers a unique perspective on the field of anthropology, highlighting its capacity to inspire new ways of thinking about the world and our place within it.
