| Abstract [eng] |
This edited volume addresses the persistent divide between scientific and humanistic approaches in anthropology, while also examining methodological complexities, interdisciplinary connections, and the global and local challenges shaping the field today. Beyond these disciplinary debates, the volume engages with various contemporary issues: minority and majority relations in Poland, China, Palestine-Israel, India; localized effects of neo-liberalism and its impact on the environment in Mongolia; social inequalities and marginalization linked to ethnicity in Lithuania and caste in India; evolving family dynamics and population decline in Europe; minority religions in Ukraine and India; and precarious labor on Indian opium farms. Thus, it presents a rich and multifaceted exploration of anthropology as a discipline while illuminating the complexities of contemporary human condition. |
