Autopsy, deathways, and intercultural healthcare in the southern Peruvian Andes Autopsie, pratiques mortuaires et soins de santé interculturels dans le sud des Andes péruviennes

On the problem of continuity: a theory of culture beyond invention Le problème de la continuité : une théorie de la culture au‐delà de l'invention

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Anthropologists, in common with social theorists more generally, have often understood social life as an emergent phenomenon grounded in practices of creativity and improvisation.
