Opis

This volume is the first to collect the most influential essays and lectures of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Published in a wide variety of venues, and often difficult to find, the pieces are brought together here for the first time in a one major volume, which includes his momentous 1998 Cambridge University Lectures, Cosmological Perspectivism in Amazonia and Elsewhere.

Rounded out with new English translations of a number of previously unpublished works, the resulting book is a wide-ranging portrait of one of the towering figures of contemporary thoughtphilosopher, anthropologist, ethnographer, ethnologist, and more. With a new afterword by Roy Wagner elucidating Viveiros de Castro s work, influence, and legacy, "The Relative Native" will be required reading, further cementing Viveiros de Castro s position at the center of contemporary anthropological inquiry.
