摘要:
Over the past forty years, Aihwa Ong has invented a remarkable collection of powerful concepts, delivered in compact and vivid terms, that have become essential instruments of a global anthropology. These concepts-which she crafted in response to anthropology's engagement with globalization beginning in the late 1970s-might be understood as products of work in the "middle range." They remain powerful tools for a global anthropology of the present.
