| Description: |
A focused debate on human subjectivity and post-humanism, with a range of theoretical and ethnographic responses to a classic article. |
| Synopsis: |
Whilst anthropocentric Western modernity has come to be held primarily responsible for various political, economic, social, and ecological issues, the search for new ways of thinking about what human beings are and how to conceptualise them has become more important. This volume responds to the often proclaimed 'death of the subject' and common debate across the social sciences for post-humanist approaches in a distinctively anthropological manner. It asks: can we use the intellectual resources developed in those debates to reconstruct a new account of how individual human subjects are contingently put together in diverse historical and ethnographic contexts? Anthropologists know that the people they work with think in terms of particular, distinctive, individual human personalities, and that in times of change and crisis these individuals matter crucially to how things turn out. The volume features a classic essay by Caroline Humphrey, 'Reassembling Individual Subjects' that provides a focus for the debate to bring together a range of theoretical approaches and rich and varied ethnography. |
