Synopsis
Siting Culture argues that it is only through rich ethnographic studies that anthropologists may explore the significance of place in the global space of relations which mold the everyday lives of people throughout the world. It does this by examining the concept of culture through a number of case studies from Europe, Africa, Oceania, Latin America, and the Caribbean in order to probe the methodological and theoretical implications of the divergent scholarly and popular concepts of culture. Siting Culture focuses on new sites of cultural construction which embody the interrelationship between local, supposedly |permanent| frameworks of life, and global, supposedly |transitory| flows of relations. This involves the foregrounding of the methodological and political implications of identifying people with particular places, and the critical analysis of the significance of topical metaphors in anthropological research.
