Knowledge and Practice A Series Edited by Jane Fajans and Dominic Boyer The Knowledge and Practice series will provide much-needed forum that bridges old and new conversations in anthropology concerning practices of knowledge and knowledges of practice. The editors conceive of this forum broadly and inclusively, and they welcome projects from one of several ethnographic and conceptual directions, including (but not limited to): •the status of knowledge as a long-standing subject of anthropological inquiry
•reflexivity within everyday and expert ways of knowing
•practices of education, socialization, ritual and esoteric training
•relations of knowledge, power and agency
•the production, objectification and circulation of institutional knowledge
•local and translocal circuits of knowledge and their enablers
•relations between subjects and objects of knowledge
•the commodification of knowledge and epistemic commodities
•cultural expertise within professions (law, medicine, etc.)
•indigenous knowledge, human and cultural rights, and intellectual property rights
•practices of critical knowledge, counterhegemony, and activism
•consciousness,ideology and habitus
•embodied modes of knowing and the corporeality of knowledge
"This list is by no means exhaustive," editors Jane Fajans and Domic Boyer note. "We intend Knowledge and Practice
to serve as a gathering point for original research at the juncture of
interest in ways of knowing and productive action and also as a
stimulus for deepened scholarly engagement in these areas." They also
stress that "although we have organized the series primarily with
anthropological research in mind, we also welcome projects from outside
anthropology that engage knowledge and practice in a substantive and
original manner."
