No field trips. No other cultures. This is a personal journey within anthropology itself and a kind of love story. A critical candid hilarious take on the culture of academia and ultimately contemporary society. Stuck Moving follows a professor affected by bipolar disorder drug addiction and a stalled career who searches for meaning and purpose within a sanctimonious discipline and a society in shambles. It takes aim at the ableist conceit that anthropologists are outside observers studying a messy world. The lens of analysis is reversed to expose the backstage of academic work and life and the unbecoming self behind scholarship. Blending cultural studies psychoanalysis comedy screenwriting music lyrics and poetry Stuck Moving abandons anthropology's rigid genre conventions suffocating solemnity and enduring colonial model of extractive knowledge production. By satirizing the discipline's function as a culture resource for global health and the neoliberal university this book unsettles anthropology's hopeful claims about its own role in social change.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Stuck Moving Or How I Learned To Love (And Lament) Anthropology\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Benson Peter\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: University Of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780520388741\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 380 Pages, 37 B-W Photographs\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Atelier: Ethnographic Inquiry in the Twenty-First Century\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Social \u0026amp; Cultural Anthropology, Ethnography","brand":"Benson Peter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49595871166769,"sku":"IN-G-9780520388741","price":36.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780520388741.jpg?v=1731016246","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780520388741-stuck-moving-or-how-i-learned-to-love-and-lament-anthropology","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
