Beskrivning

'May you live in interesting times’ was made famous by Sir Austen Chamberlain. The premise is that ‘interesting times’ are times of upheaval, conflict and insecurity - troubled times. With the growing numbers of displaced populations and the rise in the politics of fear and hate, we are facing challenges to our very ‘species-being’. Papers in the volume include ethnographic studies on the ‘refugee crisis’, the ‘financial crisis’ and the ‘rule of law crisis' in the Mediterranean as well as the crisis of violence and hunger in South America.

Recensioner i media

“The edited volume raises important questions on methodology, morality, ethics and timeliness of anthropology. Each chapter is written to unmask seemingly obvious cultural representations. Nothing is as it seems at first glance… It could be interesting to students who want to do academic research, but also to students who would like to work in ‘public anthropology’. Moreover, it will be useful to readers interested in the moral economy of capitalism.” • Australian Journal of European Cultures“This is a high-quality volume… Without exception its chapters are interesting, original, and thought-provoking. Each examines different dimensions of the book’s main themes.” • Christopher Houston, Macquarie University
