Synopsis
Anthropology lies at the heart of the human sciences, tackling questions having to do with the foundations, ethics, and deployment of the knowledge crucial to human lives. The Ethics of Knowledge Creation focuses on how knowledge is relationally created, how local knowledge can be transmuted into 'universal knowledge', and how the transaction and consumption of knowledge also monitors its subsequent production. This volume examines the ethical implications of various kinds of relations that are created in the process of 'transacting knowledge' and investigates how these transactions are also situated according to broader contradictions or synergies between ethical, epistemological, and political concerns.

Newspapers & Magazines
"Anthropology has long been keenly aware of the complicated ethical terrain of fieldwork, knowledge-acquisition and -creation, and the representation, dissemination, and use(s) of that knowledge. The chapters here though are a worthy contribution to that disciplinary self-reflection, which-as a form of knowledge itself-can never be completed or exhausted." * Anthropology Review Database



"Drawing from contexts of migration and biomedicine, this compelling collection offers timely contributions to current debates on the anthropology of knowledge, and tackles the challenging question of knowledge production during fieldwork, primarily in contexts of cultural difference and diversity." * Astrid Bochow, University of Goettingen
