>>> Anthropology has been shrinking. Once an inclusive inquiry into
>>> the conditions of human life, it has increasingly turned inwards
>>> on itself. One reason for this shrinkage lies in the
>>> identification of anthropology with ethnography. Such
>>> identification leads us to think of observation as a means to the
>>> end of description. The lecturer will aim to show, to the
>>> contrary, how description not just literary but graphic and
>>> performative - can be re-embedded in observation. Overturning the
>>> relation between observation and description will enhance
>>> anthropology's potential to engage with biology, psychology and
>>> archaeology on the great questions of the origins and destiny of
>>> humankind.
