In For Emplacement, Mario Blaser proposes a new lens for contending with the momentous challenges facing the world, from anthropogenic climate change to rampant socioeconomic inequalities to the rise of neofascism. Blaser shows that the prevalent solutions to these problems--which often depend on intensifying globalization, technological development, and extractivism--only deepen these crises. Effectively addressing these issues, he suggests, might require grounding our ways of being in the specificities of place. Drawing on decades of ethnographic experience in South America and the Canadian subarctic, and engaging with material semiotics, Blaser recasts the fundamental political question of how to live together well as a cosmopolitical one: how to become emplaced with others, in divergence. Ultimately, he presents a political ontology where visions of the good life oriented to the specificities of place guide us through the promises and challenges that a journey toward emplacement holds.

Mario Blaser is Professor of Anthropology, Archaeology, and Geography at Memorial University of Newfoundland, author of Storytelling Globalization from the Chaco and Beyond, and coeditor of A World of Many Worlds, both also published by Duke University Press.
