Editorial Reviews

A collection of essays by a group of North American and European anthropologists, critically assessing the prevalent conceptual frameworks and analytical instruments employed by contemporary anthropologists in their interpretation and translation of cultural facts. Between the introductory and concluding essays, the volume is divided into four parts: ascetic readings of the text--proximity and fidelity; text and sub-text--the grounding of interpretive violence; divination as interpretation from within; and the cooperative work in interpretation.
