     An essay by Thomas Hylland Eriksen that critically examines the metaphors which have underlied anthropological theory and research.  
     http://folk.uio.no/geirthe/Culturalislands.html
     
     Extractions: A transformation of the island metaphor along the lines suggested could be seen as an indicator of a more pervasive shift in the dominant anthropological mode of reasoning. This shift, which by now seems definite although a new "paradigm" has yet to appear, has changed the discipline's emphasis from positivist search for truth to less ambitious interpretations of ambiguous worlds; from structure to process, from causality to intersubjectivity, from stable social units to fluctuating systems of signification - and, in a certain sense, from explanation to understanding. The metaphor of insularity, usually implicit in anthropological research and theory, can be used to summarise these fundamental issues. The problem to be addressed here can thus be stated as follows. In which sense can cultural phenomena and human societies meaningfully be said to be discrete, that is to say autonomous, bounded and thus distinctive from each other; and conversely, to what extent is the entire cultural production of humanity woven together in a seamless, continuous pattern of communication and exchange? The issue is of great importance to contemporary social anthropology, and it cannot be answered in a straightforward way. The question may nevertheless be fruitfully approached through a reflection over mechanisms of social and cultural isolation, that is what we may provisionally call cultural island phenomena.
