点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The upheavals experienced by the neo-liberal modern world have direct effects on the “field” in which anthropologists conduct their research and the people who live there. Problems such as civil wars and massacres, development and environmental destruction, immigration and exclusion, and poverty and the spread of infectious disease are not simply “local” in nature, but manifest themselves as well in the context of global relations of dependence. Under globalised neo-liberalism, anthropology has moved from a position that emphasizes neutrality and objectivity to one that acknowledges the commitment. But what logic justifies engagement and intervention in foreign cultures? In the intellectual and practical struggle to respond to that question, this study has examined and proposed an everyday life oriented anthropological approach.
