Resumo

This special issue of Man explores the diverse ways in which ethnographic writing has been shaped by regional traditions and local contexts. The articles examine how specific intellectual currents, political circumstances, and social structures have influenced the production of ethnographic knowledge in various parts of the world, including Melanesia, Amazonia, the Andes, and Southern Africa. The contributors argue that ethnographic writing is not a neutral or objective practice, but rather a situated activity that reflects the particularities of the place and time in which it is produced. They challenge the notion of a universal ethnographic method and highlight the importance of understanding the local conditions that shape anthropological research and representation.
