Challenging Anthropology
Challenging Anthropology’s Cultural Understanding examines how cultural anthropology pushes beyond one-dimensional views of culture, highlighting its fluid and multifaceted nature. Through the works of Saba Mahmood, Paige West, and Donna Haraway, the essay explores agency, space, and situated knowledge, questioning traditional assumptions about freedom, cultural translation, and objectivity. By embracing diverse perspectives and challenging biases, anthropology fosters a deeper, more inclusive understanding of human societies.
