Description
Reflections on Imagination: Human Capacity and Ethnographic Method explores how anthropologists use imagination in their research, and how they can improve its effectiveness. This collection presents case studies from various locations around the world, examining how imagination has been conceptualized and understood in different analytical traditions.
The book focuses on imagination as an activity, technique, and subject situated in everyday life, rather than abstraction. It sheds new light on imagination as a universal capacity and practice that is essential for making sense of our environments and situating our life projects within them.
