| Summary |
In this book the author considers an array of subjects - among them Iranian and Polish cinema, cyberspace, autobiographical and fictional narrative, and genomic biotechnologies - and, in the process, demonstrates a cultural anthropology for a highly networked world. He lays the groundwork for a renewed and powerful twenty-first-century anthropology characterized by a continued insistence on empirical fieldwork, engagements with other disciplines, and dialogue with interlocutors around the globe |
