Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction -- PART I Anthropological Reifications from Ethnicity to Identity -- Chapter 1 Toward Identification: The Unconscious Geopolitics of Ethnicity and Culture in Theory -- Chapter 2 The Diasporic Mind Field in the (Inter)Disciplinary Politics of Identity -- PART II Beyond the Imagined Community of Writing Culture -- Chapter 3 The Predicament of James Clifford in the Anthropological Imaginary -- Chapter 4 Writing Theory Rethinking the Emancipation of the Author from His Function -- PART III Can the Postcolonial Speak in Sociological Theory? -- Chapter 5 Subaltern Studies as Historical Exception / Postcolonialism as Critical Theory -- Chapter 6 Nation as Norm, State as Exception: Unseen Ramifications of a Hyphenated Modernity -- References -- Index
Summary: On the Geopragmatics of Anthropological Identification explores the discursive spaces of our speaking position, or what has routinely been referred to in the literature as the poetics and politics of writing culture. At issue here are its problematic underlying notions of cultural identity, authorial subjectivity and postcolonial critique. Contrary to the widespread assumption that cultural studies and the social sciences share a common discourse of culture and society, Allen Chun argues that 'modern' disciplinary practices and axioms have in fact produced inherently incompatible theories. Anthropology's ethical relativism has also created obstacles for a critical theory of culture and society.
