Whereas Most Anthropological Research Is Grounded In Social, Cultural And Biological Analysis Of The Human Condition, This Volume Opens Up A Different Approach: Its Concerns Are The Psychic Depths Of Human Cultural Life-worlds As Explored Through Psycho-analytic Practice And/or The Psychoanalytically Framed Ethnographic Project. In Fact, Some Contributors Here Argue That The Anthropological Interpretation Of Human Existence Is Not Sustainable Without Psychoanalysis; Others Take A Less Extreme Radical Stance But Still Maintain That The Unconscious Matrix Of The Human Psyche And Of The Intersubjective (social) Reality Of Any Given Cultural Life-world Is A Vital Domain Of Anthropological And Sociological Inquiry And Understanding.--jacket.

Whereas most anthropological research is grounded in social, cultural and biological analysis of the human condition, this volume opens up a different approach: its concerns are the psychic depths of human cultural life-worlds as explored through psycho-analytic practice and/or the psychoanalytically framed ethnographic project. In fact, some contributors here argue that the anthropological interpretation of human existence is not sustainable without psychoanalysis; others take a less extreme radical stance but still maintain that the unconscious matrix of the human psyche and of the intersubjective (social) reality of any given cultural life-world is a vital domain of anthropological and sociological inquiry and understanding.
