- W2077805285 abstract "This is not a book for the faint of heart. Parts of it are virtually indigestible: the appendix is entitled “From the Derridean gap to theorizations of consciousness and forgetting: defending expansive experience within the play of signs.” But, although the long excursuses on Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, and Julia Kristeva do stick in the craw, there is real meat here for the reader to enjoy. Drawing from her ethnographic research among Samburu people in northern Kenya, anthropologist Bilinda Straight conducts a series of “thought experiments” concerning Samburu experiences with the extraordinary (23). Her aim is to unsettle Derrida, who famously highlighted the unbridgeable gap separating word from world. While Derrida regards communication as a self-referential play of signs, Straight invites her readers to participate in a Samburu ontology where language is radically implicated with reality. Straight offers vignettes of Samburu deaths and resurrections, describes the smells wafting through her cedar-walled house, summarizes her dreams, and prints photographs that bring Samburu people close to hand. Through these textual strategies, she asks her readers to participate in a reincarnation and experience a dynamic Samburu world." @default.
