From twilight in the Himalayas to dream worlds in the Serbian state, this book provides a unique collection of anthropological and cross-cultural inquiry into the power of rhetorical tropes and their relevance to the formation and analysis of social thought and action through a series of ethnographic essays offering in-depth studies of the human imagination at work and play around the world.
“This book shows what is to be gained from thinking rhetorically about any particular problem, family of objects, or traditional discipline. It demonstrates the vitality of rhetoric in the social sciences as anything but a mere formalism or “linguistic turn”.”• Haun Saussy, University of Chicago
