Cutting and Connecting

'Afrinesian' Perspectives on Networks, Relationality, and Exchange

Herausgeber: Myhre, Knut Christian

Beschreibung

Cutting and Connecting rethinks anthropology's comparative endeavor by calling in a conceptual debt that theoretical innovations from Melanesian anthropology owe to network analysis originally developed in African contexts. The contributors adopt and employ concepts from recent anthropological studies of Melanesia to analyze contemporary life on the African continent.
