The scholarship of Ulf Hannerz is characterized by its extraordinary breadth and visionary nature. He has contributed to the understanding of urban life and transnational networks, and the role of media, paradoxes of identity and new forms of community, suggesting to see culture in terms of flows rather than as bounded entities. Contributions honor Hannerz’ legacy by addressing theoretical, epistemological, ethical and methodological challenges facing anthropological inquiry on topics from cultural diversity policies in Europe to transnational networks in Yemen, and from pottery and literature to multinational corporations.

In the 21st century Anthropology is under continuous pressure to redefine itself to explore sweeping biological and social transformations that are taking place in the society today. Anthropology over the years is recognized as the discipline that studies man in time and space. The focus of anthropological research is on human population(s) living in an ecological niche. Anthropology has traditionally followed a four fold division recognizing 1. Palaeo-anthropology/Pre-historic Archaeology2. Social/Cultural Anthropology3. Biological Anthropology4. Linguistic Anthropologyas distinct areas of specialization. However, over the years emphasis has shifted. The science of Man in society while conforming to the broad four fold division has over the years developed numerous sub-disciplines that cater to the challenges of comprehending impact of technology and rampant industrialization, global warming and biological interventions on mankind. Various new frontiers have opened in the last century that demands anthropological skills for intervention. The present volume is only an attempt to provide a glimpse to the readers of various methodological and functional modalities of the discipline on a broad platform.To pay befitting tribute to the subject of Anthropology, it will be perfectly in order to state that the discipline has the unique distinction of being a melting pot of all the basic and applied sciences - earth, -physical, -life, -medicine as well as - social and humanities. In the past contributions made by the fraternity has helped mankind pass many milestones. Its contributions to exploring complexities of human civilization are well acknowledged. This volume explores new frontiers that discipline with its advanced theoretical insights and methodological tools is examining. Review articles and other papers take a critical view of the past accomplishments and future possibilities. The volume is presented to you with the hope that it will become a ready reckoner for future researchers looking for new themes and research paradigms.

This book examines emerging automated technologies and systems and the increasingly prominent roles that each plays in our lives and our imagined futures. It asks how technological futures are being constituted and the roles anthropologists can play in their making; how anthropologists engage with emerging technologies within their fieldwork contexts in research which seeks to influence future design; how to create critical and interventional approaches to technology design and innovation; and how a critical anthropology of the way that emerging technologies are experienced in everyday life circumstances offers new insights for future making practices. In pursuing these questions, this book respond to a call for new anthropologies that respond to the current and emerging technological environments in which we live, environments for which thinking critically about the possible, plausible, and impossible futures are no longer sufficient. Taking the next step, this book asserts that anthropology must now propose alternative ways, rooted in ethnography, to approach and engage with what is coming and to contest dominant narratives of industry, policy and government, and to respond to our contemporary context through a public, vocal and interventional approach.

The articles in this influential journal placed it in the thick of a turbulent period for anthropology. Reacting to current research interests and launching what were often heated debates, it set the agenda for disciplinary change and new research. Once described the American Anthropological Association as creating 'a strong voice for anthropology in the public arena', the Founder Editor, Jonathan Benthall, introduces here a personal selection of articles and letters with his own candid retrospect, arguing that the discipline's greatest strength and potential lies in testing and refining the ideas of other disciplines.

During recent years, attempts have been made to move beyond the Eurocentric perspective that characterized the social sciences, especially anthropology, for over 150 years. A debate on the “anthropology of anthropology” was needed, one that would consider other forms of knowledge, modalities of writing, and political and intellectual practices. This volume undertakes that challenge: it is the result of discussions held at the first organized encounter between Iranian, American, and European anthropologists since the Iranian Revolution of 1979. It is considered an important first step in overcoming the dichotomy between “peripheral anthropologies” versus “central anthropologies.” The contributors examine, from a critical perspective, the historical, cultural, and political field in which anthropological research emerged in Iran at the beginning of the twentieth century and in which it continues to develop today.

Born within and against the violence of European colonial conquest, anthropology has aspired to understand the diversity of human experience in ethical and transformative ways. The New Invitation to Anthropology is a fresh and accessible text that takes students to the heart of the discipline and reveals the ongoing relevance of anthropology today. The New Invitation to Anthropology, Fifth Edition has an intimate touch that invites students in and helps them understand the historical roots of anthropology and its connection to recent social and political issues. Part I covers the history of the discipline, the emergence of the concept of culture, and ethnographic field methods in relation to European imperialism and discourses on race. Part II illustrates how the concept of culture shaped specific domains of anthropological study, including ecological adaptation, social class, gender, family, marriage, religion, and medicine.As a timely and engaging “non-textbook,” The New Invitation to Anthropology explores anthropological perspectives on real-world problems, helping students think like anthropologists and become better citizens of the world. New To This Edition Significantly revised Chapter 1, “The Origins of North American Anthropology,” demonstrates how modern anthropology emerged out of 19th century theories of race and social evolutionism and develops critical understandings of modern forms of racism New sections on social class and globalization in Chapter 4 offer insights into the complexities of modern global problems like climate change New elaborations of intersectionality in Chapter 5, “Sex, Gender, and Inequality” reinforces discussions of gender-based inequality Chapter 7 on religious experience now incorporates healing and medicine to expand a framework of studying belief and experience
