CW: Emerging thoughts about a critical, engaged anthropology
Fundamentally, (a critical) anthropology asks:
- how is it that humans have developed the institutions, worldviews, beliefs, behaviours we see today (and have seen historically)?
- how is it that humans have seemingly transcended the limits of pure biological capability, and radically transformed the world around us?
- what are the implications - positive and negative - of humanity's cultural, social, technological development, for individuals, communities, the human species, and the biosphere?
- how might we re-engage with the world around us and re-establish a balance that optimises for life at a planetary scale, the supports both well-being for individuals, communities, humanity, and the planet?#criticalAnthropology #engagedAnthropology #politicalEcology
