Michel Leiris und Claude Lévi-Strauss haben mit Phantom Afrika (orig. 1934) und Traurige Tropen (orig. 1955) als Erste die Herausforderungen an Ethnologen und Reisende thematisiert, die sich für längere Zeit bei einem ihnen fremden Volk aufhalten: Menschen aufsuchen, ihre Sprache und Gewohnheiten, ihr Denken, ihre Gesellschaft und Glaubenssysteme studieren, ohne dazu eingeladen worden zu sein. Was ist das Fremde? Wie geht man als Forscher dami...

Was heißt Anthropologie heute? Wie könnte sich eine Anthropologie gestalten, die sich darum bemüht, der Offenheit des Jetzt gerecht zu werden und die Spielarten des Menschseins in der Gegenwart zu analysieren? Ist die »Lehre vom Menschen« überhaupt noch als eine universale, auf den Menschen ausgerichtete Wissenschaft denkbar? Ausgehend von Max Webers Sorge um die Menschheit in der Moderne, entfaltet Paul Rabinow eine Anthropologie, die ihren A...

Was heißt Aufklärung heute, was Vernunft? Wie begründet sich das Verhältnis zwischen Vernunft und Lebensführung gegenwärtig? Diesen Fragen geht Paul Rabinow in den hier gesammelten Essays ethnographisch nach. Ethnographisch heißt: die Vernunft selbst als ein menschliches, dem Anthropologen zugängliches und also studierbares Feld sozialer Handlung zu begreifen. In konkreten, der Biotechnologie entnommenen Fallstudien fragt Rabinow nach der Vern...

He begins with an extended rumination on what he gained from two of his formative mentors: Michel Foucault and Clifford Geertz.

Provides insights into the possibilities and limitations of collaboration, and diagnoses the micropolitics which effectively constrained the potential for mutual scientific flourishing. This title utilizes a real-world experience as a springboard for reflections on how the human and life sciences can and should transform each other.

Conversations between two top anthropologists about the intellectual trends in contemporary anthropology and about the discipline's future as it continues to intersect with fields such as science studies.

In 1993, an American biotechnology company and a French genetics lab developed a collaborative research plan to search for diabetes genes. But just as the project was to begin, the French government called it to a halt, barring the laboratory from sharing something never previously thought of as a commodity unto itself: French DNA.

In this study of space and power and knowledge in France from the 1830s through the 1930s, Rabinow uses the tools of anthropology, philosophy, and cultural criticism to examine how social environment was perceived and described. Ranging from epidemiology to the layout of colonial cities, he shows how modernity was revealed in urban planning, architecture, health and welfare administration, and social legislation.

In this landmark study, now celebrating thirty years in print, Paul Rabinow takes as his focus the fieldwork that anthropologists do. How valid is the process? To what extent do the cultural data become artifacts of the interaction between anthropologist and informants? Having first published a more standard ethnographic study about Morocco, Rabinow here describes a series of encounters with his informants in that study, from a French innkeepe...

Deals with the challenge of how to design and put into practice strategies for inquiring into the intersections of philosophy and anthropology. The authors explore the contemporary from past works: how to conceptualize, test, and give form to breakdowns of truth and conduct, and how to open up possibilities for the remediation of such breakdowns.
