Beskrivning
The scholarship of Ulf Hannerz is characterized by its extraordinary breadth and visionary nature. He has contributed to the understanding of urban life and transnational networks, and the role of media, paradoxes of identity and new forms of community, suggesting to see culture in terms of flows rather than as bounded entities. Contributions honor Hannerz' legacy by addressing theoretical, epistemological, ethical and methodological challenges facing anthropological inquiry on topics from cultural diversity policies in Europe to transnational networks in Yemen, and from pottery and literature to multinational corporations.

Recensioner i media

"The chapters bring to light the visionary work of Ulf Hannerz whose thinking should be much better known in anthropology ... The publication of Anthropology Now and Next will not only present a set of thoughtful essays about current and future anthropological practice but will introduce many readers, especially in North America, to the nuanced and visionary thinking of Ulf Hannerz, an event that in my view will be of deep disciplinary significance." * Paul Stoller, West Chester University
