Anthropology

Reflect on Hugh Raffles' account of place-making and knowledge-making in the tropics in In Amazonia. With specific references to the various topics covered in the four chapters, write about the ways in which Raffles weaves together a coherent/conflicting (depends on your interpretation) narrative about the Brazilian Amazonia. If this account helps you to rethink about the processes of place-making/knowledge-creation/evolution of scientific knowledge (or any other topic that you find interesting), explain how it does that.
