Anthropology at the Edge of Words
Anthropology has seen major challenges regarding methods, epistemologies, and how one writes ethnographically. As practicing ethnographers and poets, we focus on one among many vibrant new styles of anthropological scholarship: ethnographic poetry. As poetry appears more regularly in scholarly venues, anthropologists may wonder how to create ethnographic poetry and toward what end. To address this, we begin with definitions of ethnographic poetry…
The Poetic Turn of Culture, or the “Resistances of Structure”
Paul Friedrich (1996 ) argues that poetry helps us to understand the cultural assumptions of particular societies, as well as think about what culture is. What does it mean to say that culture is in poetry, or poetry in culture? And what are the consequences of such questions for theories of culture or structure? I qualify what Friedrich says about poetry and culture, taken separately, as well as the two interwoven sides of his equation—culture i…

On Sociocultural Discontinuity
M. Estellie Smith has recently attacked the concepts "tradition" and "change" as reifications which mislead us in our study of sociocultural process. She favors "sociocultural continuity" as an analytic construct that focuses attention on the interconnected processes of continuous change and persistent collective identity that characterize all human sociocultures. This approach suffers, however, from reification analogous to that it rejects, for …
Reading The Nuer [and Comments and Reply]
The argument of Evans-Pritchard's classic The Nuer has been subject to conflicting interpretations. We examine these interpretations and then present a reading of the work that treats it as a whole. A key conclusion is that Evans-Pritchard distinguishes among three aspects of the "systems" he describes: (1) logical possibilities immanent in all forms of action, (2) cultural or local idioms in terms of which action is formulated and expressed, and…

On Reading The Nuer
This article comprises three separate responses to Sharon Hutchinson's review of Evans-Pritchard's Nuer ethnography. Pierre Bonte critiques Hutchinson's reliance on simplistic binary oppositions and her mischaracterization of Evans-Pritchard's structuralist approach. Ivan Karp argues that Hutchinson's focus on the political and economic aspects of Nuer society neglects the importance of kinship and symbolic systems. Kent Maynard defends Evans-Pri…
