The art of anthropology was the fieldwork-based description of faraway others?of how social structures secretly organized the living-together of a given society, of how a people had endowed the world surrounding them with cultural meaning. While the poetics and politics of anthropology have changed dramatically over the course of a century, the basic equation of anthropology with ethnography?as well as the definition of the human as a social and cultural being?has remained so evident that the possibility of questioning it occurred to hardly anyone. In After Ethnos Tobias Rees endeavors to decouple anthropology from ethnography?and the human from society and culture?and explores the manifold possibilities of practicing a question-based rather than an answer-based anthropology that emanates from this decoupling. What emerges from Rees's provocations is a new understanding of anthropology as a philosophically and poetically inclined, fieldwork-based investigation of what it could mean to be human when the established concepts of the human on which anthropology has been built increasingly fail us. 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aAnthropology$xPhilosophy 606 $aEthnology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aAnthropology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEthnology. 676 $a301 686 $aLB 29000$2rvk 700 $aRees$b Tobias$0897994 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476758103321 996 $aAfter ethnos$92006319 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03901nam 2200709 a 450 001 9910962214403321 005 20240313072319.0 010 $a9781283833660 010 $a1283833662 010 $a9780226922362 010 $a0226922367 024 7 $a10.7208/9780226922362 035 $a(CKB)2670000000276645 035 $a(EBL)1061195 035 $a(OCoLC)819816691 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000756824 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12351505 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000756824 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10753633 035 $a(PQKB)11721102 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000099496 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1061195 035 $a(DE-B1597)524278 035 $a(OCoLC)820172862 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780226922362 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1061195 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10623027 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL414616 035 $a(Perlego)1853160 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000276645 100 $a20120510d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aRomanticism and the question of the stranger /$fDavid Simpson 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aChicago ;$aLondon $cUniversity of Chicago Press$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (282 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780226922355 311 08$a0226922359 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aAfter 9/11: the ubiquity of others -- Theorizing strangers: a very long romanticism -- Hearth and home: Coleridge, De Quincey, Austen -- Friends and enemies in Walter Scott's crusader novels -- Small print and wide horizons -- Strange words: the call to translation -- Hands across the ocean: slavery and sociability -- Strange women. 330 $aIn our post-9/11 world, the figure of the stranger-the foreigner, the enemy, the unknown visitor-carries a particular urgency, and the force of language used to describe those who are "different" has become particularly strong. But arguments about the stranger are not unique to our time. In Romanticism and the Question of the Stranger, David Simpson locates the figure of the stranger and the rhetoric of strangeness in romanticism and places them in a tradition that extends from antiquity to today. Simpson shows that debates about strangers loomed large in the French Republic of the 1790s, resulting in heated discourse that weighed who was to be welcomed and who was to be proscribed as dangerous. Placing this debate in the context of classical, biblical, and other later writings, he identifies a persistent difficulty in controlling the play between the despised and the desired. He examines the stranger as found in the works of Coleridge, Austen, Scott, and Southey, as well as in depictions of the betrayals of hospitality in the literature of slavery and exploration-as in Mungo Park's Travels and Stedman's Narrative-and portrayals of strange women in de Staël, Rousseau, and Burney. Contributing to a rich strain of thinking about the stranger that includes interventions by Ricoeur and Derrida, Romanticism and the Question of the Stranger reveals the complex history of encounters with alien figures and our continued struggles with romantic concerns about the unknown. 606 $aRomanticism 606 $aOther (Philosophy) in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aRomanticism. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy) in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/145 686 $aHL 1101$qBVB$2rvk 700 $aSimpson$b David$f1951-$01808545 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962214403321 996 $aRomanticism and the question of the stranger$94358840 997 $aUNINA
