In "Anthropology and Social Theory", the award-winning anthropologist Sherry B. Ortner draws on her longstanding interest in theories of cultural practice to rethink key concepts of culture, agency, and subjectivity for the social sciences of the twenty-first century. The seven theoretical and interpretive essays in this volume each advocate reconfiguring, rather than abandoning, the concept of culture. Similarly, they all suggest that a theory which depends on the interested action of social beings - specifically practice theory, associated especially with the work of Pierre Bourdieu - requires a more developed notion of human agency and a richer conception of human subjectivity. Ortner shows how social theory must both build upon and move beyond classic practice theory in order to understand the contemporary world. Some of the essays reflect explicitly on theoretical concerns: the relationship between agency and power, the possibility of producing an anthropology of subjectivity, and the problematic quality of ethnographic studies of resistance. Others are ethnographic studies that put into practice Ortner's theoretical framework. In these, she investigates aspects of social class, looking at the relationship between race and middle-class identity in the United States, the often invisible nature of class as a cultural identity and as an analytical category in social inquiry, and the role that public culture and media played in the creation of the class anxieties of Generation X. Written with Ortner's characteristic lucidity, these essays constitute a major statement about the future of social theory from one of the leading anthropologists of our time.

缺陷 1.过于强调阶级、对抗、主体性、能动性，少了世界观和宇宙观。 2.文化象征体系的修正不够，还认为这是外化于人的。 3.阐述的仅仅是美国的社会观。 另外其中讲到Generation X的问题蛮有意思的，说的是公共文化表述中的X代人在这个被大众媒体深渗浸染的场域中的某些特点。...

用户评价
either the now much developed reflections on agency or the dissolution of class in ethnographic writing is obvious truism, considering most of the essay is written in the middle 90s, but really worth citing
