Writing Culture by James Clifford
Places ethnography at the center of a fresh intersection of social history, interpretive anthropology, discourse theory, and textual criticism. This work analyzes classic examples of cultural description, from Goethe and Catlin to Malinowski, Evans-Pritchard, and Le Roy Ladurie, showing the persistence of allegorial patterns and rhetorical tropes.
James Clifford, Professor in the History of Consciousness Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz, is the author of The Predicament of Culture and coeditor (with George Marcus) of Writing Culture.
