About this book

Marilyn Strathern is among the most creative and celebrated contemporary anthropologists, and her work draws interest from across the humanities and social sciences. Redescribing Relations brings some of Strathern’s most committed and renowned readers into conversation in her honour – especially on themes she has rarely engaged. The volume not only deepens our understanding of Strathern’s work, it also offers models of how to extend her relational insights to new terrains. With a comprehensive introduction, a complete list of Strathern's publications and a historic interview published in English for the first time, this is an invaluable resource for Strathern’s old and new interlocutors alike.

Reviews

“Ashley Lebner's analytic synthesis of Strathern’s work is remarkable, the writing is elegant and the argument is convincing and important. The breadth of the analysis is impressive and allows for a very personal, sensitive, detailed and deep reading of Strathern’s practice to emerge...a tour-de-force!” · Emilia Sanabria, École Normale Supérieure de Lyon

“Marilyn Strathern remains one of social anthropology's pre-eminent scholars. Since the book provides a glimpse into the ways in which scholars have fruitfully engaged with Strathern's ideas in a form that does not exist at the present moment, this work will have broad appeal.” · Barbara Bodenhorn, University of Cambridge

“Ashley Lebner has assembled an outstanding set of contributors. Marilyn Strathern’s work demands careful reading, and this collection shows us how and why Strathern’s work continues to provoke new conversations.” · Andrew Barry, University College London
