All Tomorrow's Cultures (eBook, ePUB)

Anthropological Engagements with the Future

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The first edition of All Tomorrow's Cultures explored the legacy of futures-thinking in anthropology and marked the beginning of a resurgence of interest in anthropological futures. The new edition has been updated to reflect some of the outpouring of work since then, particularly in science and technology studies and in anthropological analyses of indigenous futures. In addition, Collins has updated the final chapter to expand the field of anthropological possibility in an age of both despair and hope.
