Encyclopedia of Social and Cultural Anthropology

Edited by Alan Barnard

Introduction

Gapped text. Supply the missing articles.

1 […] If ….. anthropology is indeed ….. most encyclopedic of disciplines, it is not especially well—served with reference works of its own. This book aims to meet some of ….. need for an accessible and provocative guide to the many things that ….. anthropologists have had to say. It focuses on ….. biggest and most influential area of anthropology, generally known as …..

5 cultural anthropology in ….. North America and ….. social anthropology (or ethnology) in ….. Europe. By combining ‘social’ and ‘cultural’, the American and the European, in our title we have tried to indicate our desire to produce ……. volume that reflects ….. diversity of ….. anthropology as ….. genuinely global discipline. That desire is also shown in …… topics we have covered, from ….. nutrition to ….. postmodernism, ….. incest to ….. essentialism, and above all in 10 ….. specialists we have invited to contribute.

[…] Since ….. Second World War, anthropology has grown enormously, and its concerns are far wider than popular preconceptions about ….. study of ‘primitive peoples’. There is, now, an anthropology of capitalism and global consumerism, an anthropology of gender, an anthropology of war and an anthropology of peace; there is ….. lot of anthropology in …..

15 museums but more and more anthropology of ….. museums; anthropologists are still interested in ….. political life of people who live on ….. margins of the modern state, but they are also increasingly interested in ….. nationalism and ….. ethnicity and ….. rituals and symbols employed by modern politicians at ….. centre of modern states; anthropologists are often now employed to advise on ….. development projects, but they have also started to look at ….. very 20 idea of ‘development’ as ….. product of a particular culture and history, one more way to imagine what it is to be human. Even ….. idea of the ‘primitive’, it has lately been discovered, tells us rather more about ….. people who use …. term to describe other people, than it does about ….. people so described.

Readers should think of this book, then, as ….. guide and ….. introduction, ….. map which will 25 help them find their way around the anthropological landscape rather than an authority set up to police what counts as anthropologically correct knowledge about ….. world.
