Along the way, he spells out the consequences of this anthropology for thinking in general via a major reassessment of the work of Claude LÉvi-Strauss, arguments for the continued relevance of Deleuze and Guattari, dialogues with the work of Philippe Descola, Bruno Latour, and Marilyn Strathern, and inventive treatments of problems of ontology, translation, and transformation. Bold, unexpected, and profound, \u003cem\u003eCannibal Metaphysics\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the chief works marking anthropology’s current return to the theoretical center stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 September 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 229\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 128 mm; Width 202 mm; Thickness 15 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781517905316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eduardo Viveiros de Castro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50170273104122,"sku":"9781517905316","price":19.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9781517905316.jpg?v=1787621871","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/cannibal-metaphysics-9781517905316","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
