- Title
On Mimicaian-dramaturgy and Anti-Modernity in Melanesianist Anthropology.
- Authors
Knauft, Bruce M.
- Abstract
The author reflects on professor Jadran Mimica's comment on the modernity of the Melanesianist anthropology. He welcomes Mimica's stand on the issue and his argument on Foucault in which he believed motivate a thinning of the ethnography. However, the author asserts that Melanesianist anthropology tends to be sophisticated and nuanced in understanding locally constructed and constituted realities, and agrees Mimica's stand on the effects of modernity in Melanesia.
