History and Theory in Anthropology 人类学历史与理论.pdf

History and Theory in Anthropology Anthropology is a discipline very conscious of its history, and Alan Barnard has written a clear, balanced, and judicious textbook that surveys the historical contexts of the great debates in the discipline, tracing the genealogies of theories and schools of thought and con- sidering the problems involved in assessing these theories. The book covers the precursors of anthropology ;evolutionism in all its guises diVusionism and culture area theories, functionalism and structural- functionalism ;action-centred theories ;processual and Marxist perspec- tives ;the many faces of relativism, structuralism and post-structuralism and recent interpretive and postmodernist viewpoints. alan barnard is Reader in Social Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh. His previous books include Research Practices in the Study of Kinship (with Anthony Good, 1984), Hunters and Herders of Southern Africa (1992), and, edited with Jonathan Spencer, Encyclopedia of Social and Cultural Anthropology (1996).
