Unlike all the others works concerning the history of anthropology as a single discipline in relation to a range of different traditions, this volume, Histories of Anthropology, offers a representation of anthropology at the plural. In addition to what is widely known, this approach embraces some disciplinary traditions that are still mostly unknown to non-specialists. The aim is to offer a privileged insight as to how the main traditions have been accepted, adapted and adjusted in different cultural and historical-geographical contexts, as well as to define the current role of the anthropological approach in such contexts. It is both a book of anthropology and cultural history, in which the discipline is called upon to come to terms with colonialism and decolonisation, science and ethnosciences, nationalisms and imperialisms. It is a book that aims to exhort world anthropology to lead by example, to escape from a hegemony that no longer looks like matrix of relevant knowledge.
Distinguendosi dalle opere che presentano la storia dell’antropologia declinata al singolare, in relazione alle scuole mainstream, questo volume, Storie dell’antropologia, include contesti di elaborazione della disciplina per lo più ignorati, articola una rappresentazione al plurale dell’antropologia e offre un punto di vista su come le tradizioni disciplinari principali sono state recepite, adattate, ripensate nei diversi contesti geografici e storico-culturali, con esiti spesso divergenti e differenziati. Un libro, dunque, di antropologia e di storia culturale insieme, in cui la disciplina è chiamata a fare i conti con colonialismo e decolonizzazione, scienza e etnoscienze, nazionalismi e imperialismi. Un libro con cui l’antropologia italiana, marginale ma non periferica, per una volta sollecita l’antropologia mondiale a dare l’esempio, a uscire da un’egemonia che non appare più matrice di conoscenze rilevanti.

Abstract
Unlike all the others works concerning the history of anthropology as a single discipline in relation to a range of different traditions, this volume, Histories of Anthropology, offers a representation of anthropology at the plural. In addition to what is widely known, this approach embraces some disciplinary traditions that are still mostly unknown to non-specialists. The aim is to offer a privileged insight as to how the main traditions have been accepted, adapted and adjusted in different cultural and historical-geographical contexts, as well as to define the current role of the anthropological approach in such contexts. It is both a book of anthropology and cultural history, in which the discipline is called upon to come to terms with colonialism and decolonisation, science and ethnosciences, nationalisms and imperialisms. It is a book that aims to exhort world anthropology to lead by example, to escape from a hegemony that no longer looks like matrix of relevant knowledge.Pubblicazioni consigliate
