Abstract: My main efforts in anthropology have sought to unite ethnographic and theoretical work by using empirical findings as provocations to critique received theory and raise unasked questions. I have used generative modeling to identify the empirical processes that, in their aggregate, shape social and cultural forms. Much of my time has been spent in ethnographic field studies in the Middle East, New Guinea, Indonesia, and the Himalayas, as well as Norway. This review traces the reflections and opportunities that connect these activities.

Mais cet effort met au defi notre analyse de la pensee operatoire et nos capacites a produire des modeles qui sachent reellement contraindre les economistes et les decideurs politiques. Ces enjeux sont ici explores a partir d'un descriptif utilisant les changements recents survenus dans les pecheries du Lac Victoria.
