A formative ethnography of the relationship between markets and social life, back in print. Originally published in 1979, Clifford Geertz's essay on the Moroccan bazaar is a classic ethnographic account of the interplay of economic, social, and religious lives in the bustle of transaction. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the Middle Atlas town of Sefrou, Geertz explores how actors from diverse backgrounds assess the worth and meaning of other people's wares, words, and ways of doing business. He shows how the search for market information, so central to the theorization of markets by economists, is here based on careful appraisals of social relations, embedded in understandings of the broader institutional environment of the market town and its hinterlands. With a richness of insights procured for generations of readers, Geertz's essay on the sūq is a model of and for the craft of ethnographic theory. Long out of print, it is republished here in a stand-alone edition introduced by Lawrence Rosen.

The Pitt-Rivers Omnibus brings together the definitive essays and lectures of the influential social anthropologist Julian A. Pitt-Rivers, a corpus of work that has, until now, remained scattered, untranslated, and unedited. Illuminating the themes and topics that he engaged throughout his lifeâ€"including hospitality, grace, the symbolic economy of reciprocity, kinship, the paradoxes of friendship, ritual logics, the anthropology of dress, and moreâ€"this omnibus brings his reflections to new life. Holding Pitt-Rivers's diversity of subjects and ethnographic foci in the same gaze, this book reveals a theoretical unity that ran through his work and highlights his iconic wit and brilliance. Striking at the heart of anthropological theory, the pieces here explore the relationship between the mental and the material, between what is thought and what is done.

Les Cahiers d’anthropologie sociale se proposent d’accueillir les travaux menés au Laboratoire d’anthropologie sociale du Collège de France, en particulier les journées d’études régulièrement organisées en son sein et qui réunissent des membres du laboratoire et des chercheurs d’autres institutions autour de grands thèmes d’actualité abordés dans la perspective réflexive de l’anthropologie. Toutes les questions dont les anthropologues débattent et auxquelles ils apportent l’éclairage de leur discipline et du savoir qu’elle a accumulé sont en effet au coeur des préoccupations contemporaines, depuis les mutations présentes de la famille, des liens de parenté et des formes de la procréation jusqu’aux transformations des usages et des représentations de la nature, en passant par la réflexion sur le statut des images ou sur l’évolution des goûts alimentaires. Par le « regard éloigné » qu’elle porte sur les objets dont elle s’occupe, nourrie par le point de vue comparatiste et la mise à distance critique qu’engendre la familiarité avec des cultures très diverses, l’anthropologie fait entendre une musique distinctive dans le concert des sciences sociales. Mais cette mélodie n’est pas toujours écoutée, faute de moyens de diffusion adéquats. C’est l’ambition de cette collection que de tenter de combler ce manque et, en attirant l’attention non pas tant sur un problème que sur une manière singulière de l’envisager, de contribuer à mieux faire connaître ce mode de connaissance original qu’est l’anthropologie.
