Against Exoticism: Toward the Transcendence of Relativism and Universalism in Anthropology
Kapferer Theodossopoulos
This volume confronts the distortions of orientalism, ethnocentrism, and romantic nostalgia to expose exoticism, defined as the construction of false and unsubstantiated difference. Its aim is to re-found the importance of the exotic in the development of anthropological knowledge and to overcome methodological dualisms and dualistic approaches.
