What does it mean to study culture? Can we even define culture? Anthropology scholars have long looked at the overlap of humans and the cultural form, seeking to answer these very questions. A Genealogy of Method (Anthem Press) adds to this scholarship. Through a complex exploration of ethnography, politics, and philosophy, Hausner considers that culture, at last, may be able to be defined by present-day anthropology through a lens encompassing history, change, and diversity.
