توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
در نوشتن انسانشناسی، پنجاه و دو انسانشناس در مورد نوشتههای علمی به عنوان هنر و تعهد تأمل میکنند. این مقالات کوتاه طیف وسیعی از قلمرو، از قوم نگاری، ژانر، و سیاست نویسندگی گرفته تا تأثیر، داستان سرایی، نویسندگی و مسئولیت علمی را در بر می گیرد. نوشتههای مردمشناختی چیزی بیش از انتقال یافتهها نیست: انسانشناسان مینویسند تا داستانهایی را بیان کنند که مهم هستند، در مقابل جوامعی که در آن تحقیقات خود را انجام میدهند پاسخگو باشند، و بینشهای جدیدی را درباره جهان به اشتراک بگذارند که ممکن است آن را برای بهتر شدن تغییر دهد. مشارکتکنندگان بینشهایی در مورد زیبایی و عملکرد زبان و لذتها و دردهای نوشتن ارائه میکنند و در عین حال تشویق به ماندن در آن میشوند - ادامه نوشتن بهعنوان مهمترین راه نه تنها برای بهبود نوشتار، بلکه برای احترام به داستانها و درسهای آموخته شده. از طریق تحقیق در سرتاسر، آنها افکار، تلقینها و انگیزههای جدیدی را برای نوشتن به اشتراک میگذارند که باعث تحریک گفتگوهایی میشود که سراسر علوم انسانی را در بر میگیرد.

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
In Writing Anthropology, fifty-two anthropologists reflect on scholarly writing as both craft and commitment. These short essays cover a wide range of territory, from ethnography, genre, and the politics of writing to affect, storytelling, authorship, and scholarly responsibility. Anthropological writing is more than just communicating findings: anthropologists write to tell stories that matter, to be accountable to the communities in which they do their research, and to share new insights about the world in ways that might change it for the better. The contributors offer insights into the beauty and the function of language and the joys and pains of writing while giving encouragement to stay at it-to keep writing as the most important way to not only improve one's writing but to also honor the stories and lessons learned through research. Throughout, they share new thoughts, prompts, and agitations for writing that will stimulate conversations that cut across the humanities.
