Examining the ethnography of the modern subject, this preeminent group of scholars probes the continuity and diversity of modes of personhood across a range of Western and non-Western societies. Contributors consider what happens to individual subjectivity when stable or imagined environments such as nations and communities are transformed or displaced by free trade economics, terrorism, and war; how new information and medical technologies reshape the relation one has to oneself; and which forms of subjectivity and life possibilities are produced against a world in pieces. The transdisciplinary conversation includes anthropologists, historians of science, psychologists, a literary critic, a philosopher, physicians, and an economist. The authors touch on how we think and write about contingency, human agency, and ethics today. 410 0$aEthnographic Studies in Subjectivity 606 $aEthnology$xResearch 606 $aEthnology$xPhilosophy 606 $aSubjectivity 606 $aEthnopsychology 606 $aMedical anthropology 610 $aanthropologists. 610 $aeconomists. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afree trade economics. 610 $ahuman agency. 610 $aliterary critics. 610 $amedical technologies. 610 $amodern philosophy. 610 $amodern subject. 610 $amodes of being. 610 $amultidisciplinary. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $anonwestern societies. 610 $apersonal identity. 610 $apersonal lives. 610 $apersonhood. 610 $aphilosophers. 610 $aphysicians. 610 $apsychologists. 610 $ascience historians. 610 $asocial scholars. 610 $asocial sciences. 610 $asubjectivity. 610 $aterrorism. 610 $atransformed communities. 610 $awar. 610 $awestern societies. 615 0$aEthnology$xResearch. 615 0$aEthnology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSubjectivity. 615 0$aEthnopsychology. 615 0$aMedical anthropology. 676 $a306 701 $aBiehl$b Joao Guilherme$01053793 701 $aGood$b Byron$0144733 701 $aKleinman$b Arthur$01603249 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820175003321 996 $aSubjectivity$93947932 997 $aUNINA
