Η ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΛΟΓΙΑ ΩΣ ΚΡΙΤΙΚΗ ΤΟΥ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΣΜΟΥ
Η ανθρωπολογία ως κριτική του πολιτισμού πιάνει τον σφυγμό της κοινωνικής επιστήμης σήμερα καθώς προσαρμόζει τις θεωρίες και τις τεχνικές της σε μια όλο και πιο σύνθετη κοινωνική πραγματικότητα. Χρησιμοποιώντας την πολιτισμική ανθρωπολογία ως μοντέλο για την ανάλυση αντιπαραθέσεων που έχουν αντίκτυπο σε όλο το φάσμα των Επιστημών του Ανθρώπου, ο George E. Marcus και ο Michael M. J.
