{"product_id":"after-ethnos","title":"After Ethnos","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eFor most of the twentieth century, anthropologists understood themselves as ethnographers. The art of anthropology was the fieldwork-based description of faraway others—of how social structures secretly organized the living-together of a given society, of how a people had endowed the world surrounding them with cultural meaning. While the poetics and politics of anthropology have changed dramatically over the course of a century, the basic equation of anthropology with ethnography—as well as the definition of the human as a social and cultural being—has remained so evident that the possibility of questioning it occurred to hardly anyone. In \u003ci\u003eAfter Ethnos\u003c\/i\u003e Tobias Rees endeavors to decouple anthropology from ethnography—and the human from society and culture—and explores the manifold possibilities of practicing a question-based rather than an answer-based anthropology that emanates from this decoupling. What emerges from Rees's provocations is a new understanding of anthropology as a philosophically and poetically inclined, fieldwork-based investigation of what it could mean to be human when the established concepts of the human on which anthropology has been built increasingly fail us.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tobias Rees","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615061991804,"sku":"9781478000617","price":107.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781478000617_80c6df0c-95de-4291-a9c4-875e2ccd19e1.jpg?v=1725881773","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/after-ethnos","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
