Daribi kinship at perpendicular angles: A trompe l‘oeil anthropology
نویسنده
چکیده
What are the contours of such ―knowledge‖ that does double duty both as a public good or commons and as a source of individual empowerment and liberty? This article offers an analysis of the epistemological organisation of the ―knowledge economy‖ by shooting ethnographic work on Free Software through a playful trompe l‘oeil of Roy Wagner‘s classic piece on Daribi kinship. It offers a preliminary template for thinking of EuroAmerican knowledge as itself a trompe l‘oeil device.

In contrast, it is unclear to which extent kinship affects the social networks in populations with female dispersal. Female Colobus vellerosus show routine facultative dispersal (i.e., some females remain philopatric and others disperse). This dispersal pattern allowed us to ...
متن کاملThe Fall of Kinship¤ Towards an Epidemiological Explanation
Kinship used to be described as what anthropologists do. Today, many might well say that it is what anthropologists do not do.
