| Summary: | This paper explores the connection between debates within anthropology and larger political processes affecting the universities frequently relating to contemporary globalisation. Such connection is important in order to evaluate some directions in critical reflection within the discipline. It is claimed that anthropological positions concerning ‘fieldwork’ and ‘culture’, often devalued in the climate of current discourse, are significant epistemologically for the discipline and important for its radical potential as offering a continual challenge to the hegemony of metropolitan thought. This kind of challenge may be lost in certain redirections in anthropological approaches that often seem to be more dictated by the managerial revolution in universities than otherwise realised. |
