The Anthropology of a Delusion. Delving into the obverse of the very texture of ethnographic inquiry, namely phantasmagoria which overwhelm the practice of participant observation, Pierre Dlage takes us through an enthralling journey across the long days and endless nights of the indigenous Arctic world, moving skilfully between ethnobiography and the analytic conundrums that arise in the scene of profound cognitive displacement. Whoever wishes to know the cost of knowing alien cultures will find this anthropological novella hard to put down.
