Description for Breaking the Frames
Hardback. Num Pages: 104 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JHBA; JHMC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 210 x 148. Weight in Grams: 288.
This book argues that the breaking and re-making of frames of analysis underlie the history of theorizing in anthropology. Pamela J. Stewart and Andrew J. Strathern note that this mode of analysis risks fabricating over-essentialized dichotomies between viewpoints. The authors advocate a mindful, nuanced, people-centered approach to all theorizing-one that avoids total system approaches (-isms) and suggest that theory should relate cogently to ethnography. Mindful anthropology, as this book envisages it, is not a specific theory but a philosophical aspiration for the discipline as a whole.
