| Research Abstract |
This project on Anthropology of the Street has explored new themes and methodologies for anthropology by focusing on 'street' phenomena in contemporary society-a society marked by increasing fluidity driven by the 'reflexive modernization' associated with neo-liberalism and transnationalism. Challenging the constraints of the control society at its periphery, and flouting that society's home orientation, street phenomena are doubly repressed and hidden. The first task, therefore, was to clarify what street phenomena are and where they are taking place. Having excavated the genealogies of street phenomena, the second task was to compile systematic ethnographies, taking into due account the power relationship between the centre and the periphery. By rereading the 'peripheral' as the 'liminal,' we have sought a new horizon for anthropology that will offer resistance to the overwhelming neo-liberal tendency.
