Description: "The Art of Anthropology collects together the most influential of Alfred Gell's writing, which span the past two decades, with a new introductory chapter written by Gell. The essays vividly demonstrate Gell's theoretical and empirical interests and his distinctive contribution to several key areas of current anthropological inquiry.

A central theme of the essays is Gell's highly original exploration of diagrammatic imagery as the site where social relations and cognitive processes converge and crystallise."--BOOK JACKET.
