Abstract
ABSTRACT The three articles published here grew out of talks originally delivered in Frankfurt as part of the Jensen Memorial Lecture series of 2008, which took “The End of Anthropology?” as their topic. The title of this In Focus has been amended to make plain that none of the authors believe that the discipline is about to die, at least not in the foreseeable future as was once believed possible by such luminaries as Margaret Mead and Claude Lévi‐Strauss. Each, rather, offers a provocative reading of the present and future of anthropology: of its raison d’être, of the sorts of substantive problems it might address in times to come, of the discursive strategies and the epistemic practices that it might develop in the early years of the 21st century.
