The Editors of THEORETICAL ANTHROPOLOGY are Thomas Fillitz and Ralph Fichtner. The editor of the contributions from the Society for Caribbean Research - Vienna / Utrecht / Berlin is Manfred Kremser.
THEORETICAL ANTHROPOLOGY reflects the diversity of the science and the scholars. Topics from all subdisciplines - social, visual, religion, aesthetics, material culture, etc. - and related sciences are welcomed. The journal does not represent one methodological school. It rather is intended as a forum in which the diversity of the scholars becomes apparent and is wished, in order to convey the opportunity of following scientific debates of all kind.
THEORETICAL ANTHROPOLOGY is an electronic journal which intends to provide the means for such a melting pot. By using the electronic networks, articles, discussions, reports of research projects, or informations can be brought to information world wide. We feel that the electronic text can foster discussion, communication and information as access is free, and as it can reach the scientific community world wide.
The journal should not be seen in challenge with the print media. THEORETICAL ANTHROPOLOGY should be understood as a FORUM FOR DISCUSSION.
With the "Reader's Comment" box, we intend to raise discussions, in order to have direct debates, spontaneous and open to all. By clicking on "Comments", which can be found at the bottom of the table of content (just click on the volume No. at the front page), these statements can be directly read. As such, the journal will also serve as archive, as the most interesting interventions will be stored under "discussions".
The final structure of THEORETICAL ANTHROPOLOGY will be:
