Inplacement: Global Outbreaks and the Anthropology of Isolation

Bringing together theoretical, ethnographic, and internationally contributed chapters, this book introduces a tripartite approach to anthropology. It highlights the need to study individuals alongside customary groups, to examine persons sequestered within their socio-cultural contexts amid changing global circumstances, and to reflect on one's own society. Drawing on the Covid-19 lockdown, Contributors discuss their own experiences of in-placement. The volume also considers how epidemics qualify as disasters within the risk field and asks whether certain long-established postulations may now be outdated.
