Distinguished anthropologist George Marcus and his co-author Fernando Mascarenhas engage in a new experiment in anthropological writing. Ocasi
Reveals the key relationship between anthropologist and subject through their letters and commentaries. This ethnography is a reflection on the survival of the contemporary Portuguese nobility. It is of interest to scholars of anthropological methods and fieldwork, and to those interested in the anthropology of elites and in Portuguese culture.

1 Foreword by Fernando Mascarenhas 2 Introduction by George E. Marcus 3 Letter Exchanges 4 Epilogue by George E. Marcus 5 Appendix A. Sermon to my Successor by Fernando Mascarenhas 6 Appendix B. Preamble to the Chart of the Foundation 7 Appendix C. The Portuguese Nobility Today: A Preliminary Report by George E. Marcus and Diana L. L. Hill
Les mer
Here is serendipity, with a result both provocative and entertaining. A Portuguese nobleman hosts a scholarly conference at his palace and finds an interesting American among the participants. So begins the story of Marcus and the Marquis, told here as an epistolary ethnography by e-mail, combined with remarkable and surprising autobiography (mostly from Lisbon, some from Houston), an inside account of a developing research project—and isn't there a dash of magical realism as well? In any case, the renewal of anthropology goes on.
