What is The Relative Native: Essays on Indigenous Conceptual Worlds (Hau - Special Collections in Ethnographic Theory) about?

This volume is the first to collect the most influential essays and lectures of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Published in a wide variety of venues, and often difficult to find, the pieces are brought together here for the first time in a one major volume, which includes his momentous 1998 Cambridge University Lectures, “Cosmological Perspectivism in Amazonia and Elsewhere.” Rounded out with new English translations of a number of previously unpublished works, the resulting book is a wide-ranging portrait of one of the towering figures of contemporary thought—philosopher, anthropologist, ethnographer, ethnologist, and more. With a new afterword by Roy Wagner elucidating Viveiros de Castro’s work, influence, and legacy, The Relative Native will be required reading, further cementing Viveiros de Castro’s position at the center of contemporary anthropological inquiry. The strength of Viveiros de Castro’s essays is that we no longer have to worry about apathy at all; we are engaged.... To me, these magisterial essays are the benchmark of twenty-firstcentury anthropology, not so much a new beginning as a figure-ground reversal of the old one... [an] arbiter of human perception. - Roy Wagn
