Studies in Social Analysis

Editors:
Judith Bovensiepen, University of Kent
Martin Holbraad, University College London
Hans Steinmüller, London School of Economics

By forging creative and critical engagements with cultural, political, and social processes, anthropology explores the potential of social analysis to open new paths for thinking about human phenomena.

The focus of this series is on ‘analysis’, understood not as a synonym of 'theory', but as the fertile meeting-ground of the empirical and the conceptual. It provides a platform for exploring anthropological approaches to social analysis in all of their variety, and in doing so seeks also to open new avenues of communication between anthropology and the humanities as well as other social sciences.
