Taken together, these three works suggest that the conjoining of History and Anthropology is not a matter of fusing two academic fields into a new Something or other, but of redefining them in terms of one another by managing their relations within the bounds of a particular study textual tactics.That sorting things into what moves and what moves it, what victimizes and what is victimized, or what happened and what we can say about what happened, will not, in the end, really do, is hardly the point In the end, nothing will really do, and believing otherwise will but bring forth monsters It is in efforts such as these, and in others employing other rhythms and other distinctions, that what, beside polemic and this kind of work has to offer(not least, I suspect, a critique of both fields) will be discovered.
