What meaning is left in the sheer familiarity of the phrase? The essays here consider how humans come to know themselves and their worlds. Should anthropologists should seek complexity or simplicity in their analyses of other societies? By going beyond the notion that a way of knowing is a perspective on the world, this book explores paths to understanding, as people travel along them, craft their knowledge and shape experience. The topics examined here range from illness to ignorance, teaching undergraduates in Scotland to learning a Brazilian martial arts dance, Hegels concept of the dialectic to the poetry of a Swahili philosopher. A central concern is how anthropologists can know and write about the silent, theconcealed and theembodied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“This book is an important stimulus to ongoing debate, and showcases some of the best of recent approaches and challenges to the ways we know what we know.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  Ethos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/b\u003e ‘Ways of Knowing'\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMark Harris\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: PARADIGMS AND POLEMICS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Of Dialectical Germans and Dialectical Ethnographers: Notes from an Engagement with Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDominic Boyer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Practising an Anthropology of Philosophy: General Reflections and the Swahili Context\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eKai Kresse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Is Religion a Way of Knowing?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eOtávio Velho\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Deskilling, ‘Dumbing Down’ and the Auditing of Knowledge in the Practical Mastery of Artisans and Academics: An Ethnographer’s Response to a Global Problem\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMichael Herzfeld\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: TIME AND THE DISRUPTION OF KNOWING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Knowing Silence and Merging Horizons: The Case of the Great Potosí Cover-Up\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTristan Platt\u003c\/i\u003e with \u003ci\u003ePablo Quisbert\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e The Construction of Ethnographic Knowledge in a Colonial Context: The Case of Henri Gaden (1867–1939)\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRoy Dilley\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Embodying Knowledge: Finding a Path in the Village of the Sick\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePaul Stoller\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART III: RETHINKING EMBODIMENT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Crafting Knowledge: The Role of ‘Parsing and Production’ in the Communication of Skill-Based Knowledge among Masons\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTrevor Marchand\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Communities of Practice and Forms of Life: Towards a Rehabilitation of Vision?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eCristina Grasseni\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e Seeing with a ‘Sideways Glance’: Visuomotor ‘Knowing’ and the Plasticity of Perception\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGreg Downey\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART IV: LEARNING AND REPOSITIONINGS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e Figures Twice Seen: Riles, the Modern Knower and Forms of Knowledge\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTony Crook\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/b\u003e ‘A Weight of Meaninglessness about which there Is Nothing Insignificant’: Abjection and Knowing in an Art School and on a Housing Estate\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAmanda Ravetz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 13.\u003c\/b\u003e The 4 A’s (Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Architecture): Reflections on a Teaching and Learning Experience\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTim Ingold\u003c\/i\u003e with \u003ci\u003eRay Lucas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 14.\u003c\/b\u003e A Discussion Concerning Ways of Knowing\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eNigel Rapport\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMark Harris\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tNotes on Contributors\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042973614423,"sku":"9781845453640","price":96.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ways-of-knowing-new-approaches-in-the-anthropology-of-knowledge-and-learning-9781845453640","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
