Berghahn Series
Methodology & History in Anthropology
General Editor:
David Gellner, Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford
Nayanika Mathur, Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford
Just as anthropology has had a significant influence on many other disciplines in recent years, so too have its methods been challenged by new intellectual and technical developments. This series is designed to offer a forum for debate on the interrelationship between anthropology and other academic fields but also on the challenge to anthropological methods of new intellectual and technological developments, and the role of anthropological thought in a general history of concepts.
