Beskrivning
Malinowski’s Argonauts of the Western Pacific was a major contribution to anthropological theory and method, while simultaneously establishing the sub-field of economic anthropology. Even a century after its publication, Malinowski’s pioneering work remains critical for anthropology in a postcolonial age. This volume uses ethnographic studies from around the world to contextualize the work politically and intellectually, examining its gestation and influence from multiple perspectives. It critically explores the meaning of “economy” for Malinowski from his formation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to his path-breaking fieldwork in Melanesia and ensuing career in London.

Recensioner i media

“This book is remarkably interesting and useful in its composition; it takes us into completely new theoretical territory while tethering conversation back to the moment when Malinowski radically altered the aims of anthropological investigation.” • Huon Wardle, St. Andrews University“This book revisits old themes in innovative and creative ways, and provides new understandings of Malinowski’s contributions to anthropology generally and economic anthropology specifically. The co-editors should be applauded for bringing together a very impressive group of scholars, many of whom have published major works on the history and contributions of Malinowski.” • Peter D. Little, Emory University
