Pub. date: 24 August, 1995
Series: ASA Decennial Conference Series: The Uses of Knowledge
Pages: 208
Description: An examination of the contexts in which people make different orders of knowledge as a prelude to questioning assumptions about the size of knowledge implied in the contrast between global and local perspectives.
Synopsis: To suppose anthropological analysis can shift between global and local perspectives may well imply that the two co-exist as broader and narrower horizons or contexts of knowledge. The proof for this can be found in ethnographic accounts where contrasts are repeatedly drawn between the encompassing realm and everyday life or in value systems which sumultaneously trivialise and aggrandise or in shifts between what pertains to the general or to the particular.
