Contributors’ detailed ethnographic work analyzes the union and mutual shaping of water and social lives. This volume discusses current ecological disturbances and engages in a world where unbounded relationalities and unsettled frames of orientation mark the lives of all, anthropologists included. Water emerges as a fluid object in more senses than one, challenging anthropologists to foreground the mutable character of their objects of study and to responsibly engage with the generative role of cultural analysis.Ethnography, theory, experiment ;Volume 3.WaterSocial aspectsWater useSocial aspectsWater and civilizationHuman ecologyWaterSocial aspects.Water useSocial aspects.Water and civilization.Human ecology.333.91RB 10844rvkHastrup KirstenHastrup FridaAndersen Astrid OberborbeckMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797913303321Anthropology in fluid environments3836975UNINA
