Between History and Coincidence: Writing Culture in the Annual Review of Anthropology, ca. 1982
-
Published:March 2015
This chapter historically situates the writing culture moment in the 1980s, comparing it to developments in other anthropological subdisciplines at that time. It argues that twenty-five years later practitioners within different subfields tell very different histories of anthropology; a moment that is seminal in one telling may be coincidental in another.
