Description

""Networks" and other artifacts of institutional life such as documents, funding proposals, newsletters, or organizational charts are such ubiquitous aspects of the "information age" that they go unnoticed to most observers of late modern sociality. In this new kind of work in the ethnography of legality, Annelise Riles takes a theoretical approach to the aesthetics of these artifacts by analyzing the experiences of one group of adherents - Fijian bureaucrats and activists preparing for and participating in the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995.". "Rich in anthropological and legal detail, The Network Inside Out should have implications for social theorists, anthropologists, lawyers, and international relations scholars interested in the character of late modern transnational political action."--BOOK JACKET.
