Contents:

Introduction: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos -- Midst Anthropology's Problems -- Method -- Object; Chapter 4 Mode -- Form -- Discontents and Consolations -- Demons and Durcharbeiten -- Conclusion: From Progress to Motion.

Summary: The discipline of anthropology is, at its best, characterized by turbulence, self-examination, and inventiveness. In recent decades, new thinking and practice within the field has certainly reflected this pattern, as shown for example by numerous fruitful ventures into the "politics and poetics" of anthropology. Surprisingly little attention, however, has been given to the simple insight that anthropology is composed of claims, whether tacit or explicit, about anthropos and about logos--and the myriad ways in which these two Greek nouns have been, might be, and should be, connected. Today represents a pathbreaking effort to fill this gap.
