Paperback. Condizione: Very good(+). 2nd Printing. Octavo in wraps; 440 pp: photographs (b&w); 24 cm. Stocking was one of the central architects of modern historiography in anthropology, renowned for insisting that anthropological ideas be understood within their full intellectual, institutional, and political contexts rather than judged by present standards. The "Ethnographer?s Magic and Other Essays in the History of Anthropology gathers some of his most influential work, examining how fieldwork authority, cultural relativism, racial theory, and the professional self-image of anthropology were historically produced rather than naturally given. Through close readings of key figures and moments, Stocking shows how anthropology?s claims to scientific objectivity were shaped by colonial settings, moral anxieties, and changing conceptions of culture. The book remains foundational for demonstrating that anthropology has its own history not as a linear march toward truth, but as a discipline continually negotiating power, representation, and belief." --Publisher.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The Ethnographer's Magic may be read at several levels by practitioners from several disciplines: intellectual history, history of science, anthropology, even comparative literature, new cultural history, and literary criticism. Original in its design, it presents the historiographer as composer, responsive to his own lived experience and to those whom he encounters deliberately and by chance, defensive at times, disengaging himself from academic political sensibilities over certain issues, but, above all, a primary researcher into the further reaches of anthropology as a profession and as a discipline. For this collection, Stocking has written comments on each of the eight essays included, as well as an introduction providing autobiographical and historiographical context and an afterwork reconsidering major themes of the essays in relation to the recent past and present situation of academic anthropology. The essays themselves address the work and influence of Franz Boas and Bronislaw Malinowski; anthropology's powerfully mythic aspect and persistent strain of romantic primitivism; the contradictions of its relationship to the larger sociopolitical sphere; its problematic integration of a variety of natural scientific and humanistic inquiries; and the tension between its scientific aspirations and its subjectively acquired ""data"".…
