Thinking Through Things : Theorising Artefacts Ethnographically
TL;DR: The first text to offer a direct and provocative challenge to disciplinary fragmentation as mentioned in this paper argues for the futility of segregating the study of artefacts and society, expanding on the concerns about the place of objects and materiality in analytical strategies, and the obligation of ethnographers to question their assumptions and approaches.
Book
The Ontological Turn: An Anthropological Exposition
TL;DR: The ontological turn in the history of anthropology and its emergence as a distinct theoretical orientation over the past few decades has been discussed in this paper, showing how it emerged in the work of Roy Wagner, Marilyn Strathern and Viveiros de Castro, as well a number of younger scholars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ontology is just another word for culture: Motion tabled at the 2008 meeting of the group for debates in anthropological theory, University of Manchester
Book
Truth in Motion: The Recursive Anthropology of Cuban Divination
TL;DR: Holbraad as mentioned in this paper describes Ifa truth as a motile event that is forged in the ritual of divination, rather than a static state simply needing to be unveiled, and brings this ethnographic analysis to bear on the discipline of anthropology itself, recasting conflicts of truth and the otherness in anthropological inquiry as rooted not in epistemological differences but ontological ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Worlds otherwise": Archaeology, anthropology, and ontological difference
TL;DR: The authors discuss the merits, possibilities, and problems of an ontologically oriented approach to anthropology and archaeology, and discuss the difference that pluralizing ontology might make and whether such a move is desirable given the aims of archaeology and anthropology.
