The Anthropology of Organisations de Alberto Corsin Jimenez

The Anthropology of Organisations: The International Library of Essays in Anthropology

Editat de Alberto Corsin Jimenez
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 iul 2007
The Anthropology of Organisations offers a critical overview of the work that for over sixty years anthropologists have been carrying out in and on organisations and of the contribution that this work has made to social theory at large. Moving beyond earlier preoccupations with ’culture’ and ’relationality’, the volume brings together a selection of classic and contemporary articles that cast new light on the relevance of ethnography for organisational and social theory. It offers an indispensable resource for students and scholars interested in the politics behind the institutionalisation of social life.
