Zusammenfassung:Sri Lanka-born sociologist Stanley J. Tambiah discusses influences on his anthropology, identifying prominent figures (eg, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, & Pierre Bordieu) & specific ethnographies. Related are personal experiences studying Thai resettlement programs, Southeast Asian Buddhist spiritualism, & linguistics from a Malinowskian perspective, 1950s-1970s. Also addressed are challenges in analyzing postmodern objectivity, the concept of Otherness in an increasingly globalized world, & anthropology's need to constantly reevaluate & reconsider itself as a discipline.
