"L'anthropologie ne sert-elle qu'à analyser les peuples exotiques ? Il faut, dit-on, de la distance pour «étudier les moeurs des autres peuples» (Descartes). On admet cependant aujourd'hui que l'on peut l'appliquer aux sociétés proches et il y existe même de nombreux travaux dans ce sens. Celui-ci se veut un peu différent. Dans une série de notes (rangées dans un abécédaire), François Pouillon, fait état de sa perplexité lorsque, de retour des pays arabes sur lesquels il s'est spécialisé, il revoit les petites choses de chez lui sous un jour différent, délivré en tout cas de l'illusion que nous vivons dans le meilleur de mondes possibles. Ces réflexions, fondées sur des expériences personnelles du dépaysement, mais aussi sur une connaissance des diversités et des changements que notre société traverse, sont nourries par des souvenirs personnels, des références dans les registres les plus divers (romans, films, sketchs d'humoristes, bandes dessinées, etc.), aphorismes d'écrivains ou de philosophes et, bien sûr, réflexions anthropologiques en bonne et due forme. Vision goguenarde sans doute, qui nous appelle à regarder avec un certain relativisme nos différences comme nos vertus."

In a time of intense uncertainty, social strife, and ecological upheaval, what does it take to envision the world as it yet may be? The field of anthropology, Anand Pandian argues, has resources essential for this critical and imaginative task. Anthropology is no stranger to injustice and exploitation. Still, its methods can reveal unseen dimensions of the world at hand and radical experience as the seed of a humanity yet to come. A Possible Anthropology is an ethnography of anthropologists at work: canonical figures like Bronislaw Malinowski and Claude Lévi-Strauss, ethnographic storytellers like Zora Neale Hurston and Ursula K. Le Guin, contemporary scholars like Jane Guyer and Michael Jackson, and artists and indigenous activists inspired by the field. In their company, Pandian explores the moral and political horizons of anthropological inquiry, the creative and transformative potential of an experimental practice.

This updated second edition of Mark Moberg's lively book offers a fresh look at the history of anthropological theory. Covering key concepts and theorists, Engaging Anthropological Theory examines the historical context of anthropological ideas and the contested nature of anthropology itself. Anthropological ideas regarding human diversity have always been rooted in the sociopolitical conditions in which they arose and exploring them in context helps students understand how and why they evolved, and how theory relates to life and society. Illustrated throughout, this engaging text moves away from the dry recitation of past viewpoints in anthropology and brings the subject matter to life. (Provided by publisher)
