This collection of 14 essays describes the sometimes agonizing process of creating and maintaining ways of learning about ourselves and others, focusing on paradigms and polemics from dialectics in philosophy, the practice of an anthropology of philosophy, using religion as a way of knowing, and auditing or "dumbing down" knowledge. Those on time and the disruption of knowing describe the case of the Potosi cover-up, Gaden's brand of ethnographic knowledge, and an embodiment of knowledge in the village of the sick, while those on rethinking the embodiment address the art of crafting knowledge, communities of practice and form, and the elasticity of perception. The collection closes with the thought of Riles, abjection and knowledge at unusual sites, and teaching and learning experiences. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
