Anthropological Observation and Self-formation
Anthropological Observation and Self-formation
This chapter examines the ways concepts, values, and beliefs change shape in the specificity of new assemblages, and includes the author's own anthropological inquiries of the life-sciences industry. It tries to estimate the scientific places where life forms emerge and investigates how these forms change things, actors, spatialities, or temporalities in a distinct mode of existence that makes things function differently in an altered public domain. The chapter also provides a methodology that foregrounds the individual and collective processes which continually reconstitute subjectivity.
Keywords: specificity, new assemblages, anthropological inquiry, life-sciences industry, mode of existence, collective processes, individual processes
