New Directions in Economic Anthropology
This introductory text is the first of its kind to provide a solid
background to the main themes in economic anthropology: production, distribution,
consumption and social reproduction. It offers a critical approach to the central concepts
and theoretical assumptions in economic anthropology, and presents new perspectives on
issues which are currently transforming the field. Professor Narotzky employs a historical
approach to economic problems, highlighting the interdependent nature of the contemporary
world economy and examining Western societies in case studies. Special emphasis is given
to current issues such as the anthropology of work, the informal economy, the cultures of
industrialisation and work cultures. Professor Narotzky specifies that human material
relations cannot be theoretically separated from their cultural expression which, in turn,
are materially produced and embodied. Economic relations of production need to be analysed
both in their material and cultural aspects within an integrative framework of social
reproduction.
