Michael Jackson claims these approaches are hardly radical as they still drift into such abstractions as \"society\" or \"culture.\" His \u003ci\u003eMinima Ethnographica\u003c\/i\u003e proposes an existential anthropology that recognizes even abstract relationships as modalities of interpersonal life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written in the style of Theodor Adorno's \u003ci\u003eMinima Moralia\u003c\/i\u003e, Jackson's work shows how general ideas are always anchored in particular social events and critical concerns. Emphasizing the intersubjective encounter over objective descriptions of the whole historical and contemporary situation of a given people, he illustrates the power and originality of existential anthropology through a series of vignettes from his fieldwork in Sierra Leone and Australia. An award-winning poet, novelist, and anthropologist, Jackson offers a timely critique of conventions that dull our sense of the links between academic study and lived experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614631575703,"sku":"9780226389462","price":4297.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226389462.webp?v=1775095101","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/minima-ethnographica-intersubjectivity-and-the-anthropological-project-9780226389462","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
