Starts from the position that we need to ask what kind of work academics/intellectuals should be doing; and how this might affect the design of the research projects. This is not at all common in books of a similar kind. Vital theoretical issues are addressed at length and in a highly provocative manner in key chapters that frame the core ethnographic chapters which demonstrate the application of the theoretical issues addressed. Represents an argument for a particular approach to anthropology and to social enquiry more broadly that the author terms historical realism. He shows how such an approach is an extension of and an advance of approaches referred to as critique of political economy or simply political economy approaches. Makes a case for historical ethnography.

Hardback. Zustand: New. Contemporary forms of capitalism and the state require close analytic attention to reveal the conditions of possibility for effective counter-politics. On the other hand the practice of collective politics needs to be studied through historical ethnography if we are to understand what might make people's actions effective. This book suggests a research agenda designed to maximize the political leverage of ordinary people faced with ever more remote states and technologies that make capitalism increasingly rapacious. Gavin Smith opens and closes this series of interlinked essays by proposing a concise framework for untangling what he calls "the society of capital" and subsequently a potentially controversial way of seeing its contemporary features. This book tackles the political conundrums of our times and asks what roles intellectuals might play therein. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9781782383000
