Frontmatter -- Contents -- Regimes of Ignorance: An Introduction -- Chapter 1 Mind the Gap: On the Other Side of Knowing -- Chapter 2 Ignoring Native Ignorance: Epidemiological Enclosures of Not-Knowing Plague in Inner Asia -- Chapter 3 Managing Pleasurable Pursuits: Utopic Horizons and the Art s of Ignoring and ‘Not Knowing’ among Fine Woodworkers -- Chapter 4 Ignorant Bodies and the Dangers of Knowledge in Amazonia -- Chapter 5 What Do Child Sex Offenders Not Know? -- Chapter 6 Problematic Reproductions: Children, Slavery and Not-Knowing in Colonial French West Africa -- Chapter 7 Power and Ignorance in British India: The Native Fetish of the Crown -- Chapter 8 Secrecy and the Epistemophilic Other -- INDEX
Summary: Non-knowledge should not be simply regarded as the opposite of knowledge, but as complementary to it: each derives its character and meaning from the other and from their interaction. Knowledge does not colonize the space of ignorance in the progressive march of science; rather, knowledge and ignorance are mutually shaped in social and political domains of partial, shifting, and temporal relationships. This volume’s ethnographic analyses provide a theoretical frame through which to consider the production and reproduction of ignorance, non-knowledge, and secrecy, as well as the wider implications these ideas have for anthropology and related disciplines in the social sciences and humanities.
