Inhaltsangabe

As they enter the dialogue and debate of post-moderism, cultural anthropologists are caught in a transition from emphasizing what they know about peoples of the world to the development of questions about how they know these things and about the many complicated ways in which experience is endowed with meaning. In "Anthropological Poetics", 14 distinguished anthropologists cast their imaginations self-consciously in a search for less conventional forms of understanding and expression. These essays provide an eloquent demonstration that there is more then one way to say anthropology and that some things said poetically about anthropological experience can't be said with equal effectiveness any other way. They challenge anthropologists to see and do things differently while keeping in mind the prospect that such change may do more than remake the past by redefining the present.
