One Hundred Years of Argonauts : Malinowski, Ethnography and Economic Anthropology Hardback

Edited by Chris Hann, Deborah James

Part of the Max Planck Studies in Anthropology and Economy series

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Malinowski’s Argonauts of the Western Pacific was a major contribution to anthropological theory and method, while simultaneously establishing the sub-field of economic anthropology.

Even a century after its publication, Malinowski’s pioneering work remains critical for anthropology in a postcolonial age.

This volume uses ethnographic studies from around the world to contextualize the work politically and intellectually, examining its gestation and influence from multiple perspectives.

It critically explores the meaning of “economy” for Malinowski from his formation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to his path-breaking fieldwork in Melanesia and ensuing career in London.
