This volume approaches the concept of reflexivity on two different yet related analytical planes. Whether implicitly or explicitly, both planes of thought bear critically on reflexivity in relation to the nature of selfhood and the very idea of the autonomous individual, ethics, and humanness, science as such and social science, ontological dualism and fundamental ambiguity. On the one plane, a collection of original and innovative ethnographically based essays is offered, each of which is devoted to ways in which reflexivity plays a fundamental role in human social life and the study of it; on the other—anthropo-philosophical and developed in the volume’s Preface, Introduction, and Postscript—it is argued that reflexivity distinguishes—definitively, albeit relatively—the being and becoming of the human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eTerry Evens, Don Handelman, and Christopher Roberts\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reflexivity and Selfhood\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eTerry Evens, Don Handelman, and Christopher Roberts\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eSECTION I: REFLEXIVITY, SOCIAL SCIENCE, AND ETHICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Is There a Difference between Doing Good and Doing Good Research: Anthropology and Social Activism, or the Productive Limits of Reflexivity\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eTerry Evens\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ethic of Being Wrong: Taking Levinas into the Field\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eDon Handelman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cosmopolitan Reflexivity: Consciousness and the Non-Locality of Ritual Meaning\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eKoenraad Stroeken\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Religionist Reflexivity and the Machiavellian Believer\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eChristopher Roberts\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eSECTION II: REFLEXIVITY, PRACTICE, AND EMBODIMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wittgenstein's Critique of Representation and the Ethical Reflexivity of Anthropological Discourse\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eHoracio Ortiz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Human Cockfighting in the Squared Circle: Thai Boxing as a Matter of Reflexivity\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePaul Schissel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect Praxis in Akidō—A Reflexive Body-Self\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eEinat Bar-On Cohen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eSECTION III: REFLEXIVITY, SELF, AND OTHER \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tension, Reflection, and Agency in the Life of a Hausa Grain Trader\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePaul Clough\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reflexivity in Intersubjective and Intercultural Borderlinking\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRené Devisch\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eSECTION IV: REFLEXIVITY, DEMOCRACY, AND GOVERNMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Latent Effects of the Distribution of Political Reflexivity in Contemporary Democracies\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eYaron Ezrahi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePostscript: \u003c\/strong\u003eReflexivity and Social Science\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eTerry Evens\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042549956951,"sku":"9781789200928","price":26.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789200928.jpg?v=1750954596","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reflecting-on-reflexivity-the-human-condition-as-an-ontological-surprise-9781789200928","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
