Culture Figures : A Rhetorical Reading of Anthropology, Hardback Book

Culture Figures : A Rhetorical Reading of Anthropology Hardback

Part of the Studies in Rhetoric and Culture series

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Ethnographic research, anthropological theory, and the understanding of the objects of inquiry, are co-created through figuration (using tropes and rhetorical figures) and techniques of persuasion.

Delving into descriptive ethnography and theoretical texts spanning across classical monographs and recent texts in cultural anthropology, Culture Figures places rhetoric and rhetoricity as central to the discipline’s self-understanding.

It focuses on how understandings of ‘culture’ and social life are shaped and conveyed in cultural anthropology through textual rhetoric.

The book demonstrates how processes of using tropes and modes of persuasion underlie the creation of meanings or misunderstandings in society.
