Description
The articles in this book examine the problems posed to anthropologists by "social understanding" and "cultural translation". Some of the topics discussed in the book include mediations in the global ecumene, foreign myths and sagas in Japan, the anthropologist as shaman - interpreting recent political events in Armenia and the art of translation in a continuous world.
