Anthropology and Science
Author: Jeanette Edwards
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000323676
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
What does it mean to know something - scientifically, anthropologically, socially? What is the relationship between different forms of knowledge and ways of knowing? How is knowledge mobilised in society and to what ends? Drawing on ethnographic examples from across the world, and from the virtual and global 'places' created by new information technologies, Anthropology and Science presents examples of living and dynamic epistemologies and practices, and of how scientific ways of knowing operate in the world. Authors address the nature of both scientific and experiential knowledge, and look at competing and alternative ideas about what it means to be human. The essays analyze the politics and ethics of positioning 'science', 'culture' or 'society' as authoritative. They explore how certain modes of knowing are made authoritative and command allegiance (or not), and look at scientific and other rationalities - whether these challenge or are compatible with science.

Excerpt from Anthropology of the Todas and Kotas of the Nilgiri Hills: And of the Brahmans, Kammalans, Pallis, and Pariahs of Madras City A curious people are the Todas or Tudas, to whom the most sacred objects on this earth are a holy dairy-man (palal) and a large-horned race of semi-domesticated buffaloes, on whose milk and the products thereof (butter and ney 1) they still depend largely, though to a less extent than in bygone days, before the existence of the Ootacamund bazar, for subsistence.
