«El antropólogo como autor» is the anthropology essay by Clifford Geertz, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
Geertz analyzes classic anthropology texts as literary constructions: rhetorical devices, construction of the ethnographer's self, and links with other disciplines. The book focuses on four authors, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Evans-Pritchard, Bronislaw Malinowski and Ruth Benedict, and comments on their writing strategies.
The work belongs to the Básica collection from Ediciones Paidós. Its original English title is 'Works and Lives: The Anthropologist as Author'.
For readers of anthropology, literary theory and cultural studies.
