Riassunto

This highly original anthropological study demonstrates how methods of social analysis can be applied to the individual, while remaining entirely distinct from psychology and other perspectives on the person.

Contributors draw on approaches from material culture to create fascinating portraits of individuals and offer analytical insights that convey ethnographic encounters with extraordinary people from the world over.

Exploring relationships to places and spaces such as social networking sites, to persons such as parents, to ethical concerns such as fairness and to ideas such as the ideology of struggle, "Anthropology and the Individual" shows how the study of the individual can provide insights into society without losing a sense of the particularity of the person.
