What can a neurologist like Oliver Sacks teach us about anthropology? And how has anthropological thinking been quietly operating in his work all along?An Anthropologist on Sacks reads Sacks as a profoundly anthropological thinker whose neurological case histories function as ethnographic encounters, grounded in attention, participation, narrative breadth, and ethical presence. Drawing on Sacks’s published writings, correspondence, and lesser-read reflections, the book traces the implicit methodological and epistemic affinities between his medical practice and the anthropological imagination. It argues that Sacks’s humanist science, characterized by an embrace of paradox, constitutes a mode of knowing that resists reduction, honors lived experience, and treats (neuro)diversity not as deficit but as a way of being in the world. Through close readings of his tales, prose, and methodological choices, An Anthropologist on Sacks makes a case for the enduring relevance of Sacks’s approach to knowing: one attentive to complexity, ethically engaged with difference, and committed to holding incompatible truths together.At once a critical intervention and a measured tribute, the book invites readers to reconsider Oliver Sacks as a remarkable writer whose work speaks with particular urgency to anthropology today—and to broader debates about how humane knowledge might still be relevant.

This book focuses on the example of surrogate motherhood to explore the interplay between new reproductive technologies and new ethnographic writing technologies. It seeks to interrogate the potential of fictional multimodality in ethnography and to illuminate the generative possibilities of digital artefacts in anthropological research. It also makes a case for the tailor-made character of ethnographic writing in the digital era, arguing that research quests and representational modalities can be paired together to develop unique narrative forms, corresponding to each particular topic’s traits and analytical affordances. Focusing on the intersections of assisted reproduction technologies and digitally mediated writing, this study casts light upon the value of the affective, the fictional and the ‘real’ in the anthropological research and writing of relatedness. Analyzing the situated knowledge of ethnographers and research interlocutors, it experiments with multimodalstorytelling and revisits the century-long debate on the affinity between an object of study and the possibilities for its representation. As the first attempt to bring together digital anthropology, fiction writing and the ethnography of surrogacy, this book fuses the genealogy of feminist critique on the orthodox, phallocentric, and heteronormative aspects of academic discourse with the input of digital humanities vis-à-vis troubling the conventional formal properties of scholarly writing.
