«El surgimiento de la antropología posmoderna» is a compilation of texts by Clifford Geertz, James Clifford and others, published by Gedisa in paperback.
The volume brings together essays on the crisis of anthropology in the face of the postmodern condition. Building on Clifford Geertz's impetus, it examines the shift from an interpretive science to a horizon of uncertainty, with consequences for psychoanalysis, cultural criticism and feminism, and with readings that oscillate between scientific transformation and the end of the discipline.
Cla-De-Ma Anthropology series, edited by Carlos Reynoso. Includes contributions by Richard A. Shweder, Michel Agar, George E. Marcus, Marilyn Strathern, Dennis Tedlock and Stephen Tyler.
For students and professionals in anthropology and social sciences, and for readers interested in cultural criticism and the postmodern debate.
Clifford James Geertz was an American anthropologist who is remembered mostly for his strong support for and influence on the practice of symbolic anthropology and who was considered "for three decades ... the single most influential cultural anthropologist in the United States." He served until his death as professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.
