Críticas

"The importance of public anthropology has been growing around the world making this a timely edition which, 'mark[s] a line in the sand about where we are today' [This volume] provides a place to begin to discuss the different ways in which people are currently engaging in public anthropology, including their methods, types of media used, topics researched and blogs such as 'Savage Minds.' It has the potential to be a valuable resource in instigating discussions around what anthropology can do, should do and has the potential to communicate through being public." - SITES - A Journal of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies

Reseña del editor

Contemporary anthropology is done in a world where social and digital media are playing an increasingly significant role, where anthropological and arts practices are often intertwined in museum and public intervention contexts, and where anthropologists are encouraged to engage with mass media. Because anthropologists are often expected and inspired to ensure their work engages with public issues, these opportunities to disseminate work in new ways and to new publics simultaneously create challenges as anthropologists move their practice into unfamiliar collaborative domains and expose their research to new forms of scrutiny. In this volume, contributors question whether a fresh public anthropology is emerging through these new practices.
