Historical anthropology: critical exchange between two decidedly distinct disciplines or innovative mode of knowledge production? As this volume's title suggests, the essays Brian Keith Axel has gathered in "From the Margins" seek to challenge the limits of discrete disciplinary epistemologies and conventions, gesturing instead toward a transdisciplinary understanding of the emerging relations between archive and field. In original articles encompassing a wide range of geographic and temporal locations, eminent scholars contest some of the primary preconceptions of their fields.
The contributors tackle such topics as the paradoxical nature of American Civil War monuments, the figure of the "New Christian" in early seventeenth-century Peru, the implications of statistics for ethnography, and contemporary South Africa's "occult economies." That anthropology and history have their provenance in--and have been complicit with--colonial formations is perhaps commonplace knowledge. But what is rarely examined is the specific manner in which colonial processes imbue and threaten the celebratory ideals of postcolonial reason or the enlightenment of today's liberal practices in the social sciences and humanities. By elaborating this critique, "From the Margins" offers diverse and powerful models that explore the intersections of historically specific local practices with processes of a world historical order.
As such, the collection will not only prove valuable reading for anthropologists and historians, but also for scholars in colonial, postcolonial, and globalization studies. "Contributors." Talal Asad, Brian Keith Axel, Bernard S. Cohn, Jean Comaroff, John L. Comaroff, Nicholas B. Dirks, Irene Silverblatt, Paul A. Silverstein, Teri Silvio, Ann Laura Stoler, Michel-Rolph Trouillot.

is the work expended on material documentation (books, texts, accounts,
registers, acts, buildings, institutions, laws, techniques, objects,
customs, etc.) that exists, in every time and place, in every society.

The
essential task of theory building. . . is not to codify abstract
regularities but to make thick description possible, not to generalize
across cases but to generalize within them. To generalize within cases
is usually called, at least in medicine and depth psychology, clinical
inference. - Page 72

In
the study of culture the signifiers are not symptoms or clusters of
symptoms, but symbolic acts or clusters of symbolic acts, and the aim
is not therapy but the analysis of social discourse. But the way in
which theory is used—to ferret out the unapparent import of things—is
the same. - Page 72 Source: Books Google
