Anthropology Now and Next Summary

Anthropology Now and Next: Essays in Honor of Ulf Hannerz by Thomas Hylland Eriksen

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.

Anthropology Now and Next Reviews

The chapters range over a fascinating territory of institutions and sites... {The volume] is very well titled, as it is at once a sort of retrospective and, more importantly, a future oriented study of what anthropology can and should become. * Anthropology Review Database

The cosmopolitan anthropologist Ulf Hannerz has been engaged for forty years on a multi-site ethnography of the intricate web of relationships that he calls the global ecumene. To this ambitious, protean project he has brought remarkable erudition, the insights of the social sciences, and the style and sensibility of a humanist. * Adam Kuper, London School of Economics

One of anthropology's most prescient, capacious, and original thinkers, Hannerz is unique in his worldliness, his genial humanity. He has long epitomized the genius of his discipline to cast light on a culturally complex, translocal world. * Jean Comaroff, Harvard University

This work provides an enormously valuable temporal perspective (in the double sense of both retrospects and prospects) on some key ideas from the very distinguished career of Ulf Hannerz. While all the chapters are clearly influenced by Hannerz, some of them push his seminal ideas in exciting new directions. * A. Jamie Saris, National University of Ireland, Maynooth

The chapters bring to light the visionary work of Ulf Hannerz, not only presenting a set of thoughtful essays about current and future anthropological practice, but also highlight Hannerz's nuanced and visionary thinking, an event that in my view will be of deep disciplinary significance. * Paul Stoller, West Chester University
