Anthropology Faces the Future

From Savage to Self

Available for over a year

Farrah Jarral concludes her series on anthropology by looking to the future, including the anthropology of outer space. Farrah speaks to the thinker whose writing caused the biggest argument amongst her fellow anthropology students - Donna Haraway. She ponders the anthropology of artisanal cheesemakers, and their cheese, and learns what studying cheese has in common with studying outer space (it has nothing to do with the moon). Producer: Giles Edwards.
