Summary
James Clifford: The predicament of culture
Predicament of Culture is a critical ethnography of the West in its changing relations with other societies. Analyzing cultural practices such as anthropology, travel writing, collecting, and museum displays of tribal art, James Clifford shows authoritative representations of other ways of life as contingent fictions, now actively contested in a postcolonial context. His critique raises questions of global importance: Who has the authority to speak about the identity and authenticity of any group? What are the essential elements and boundaries of culture? How do I and "the other" clash in the encounters of ethnography, travel and contemporary inter-ethnic relations?
