More about the book

Exploring the anthropology of intensity, this book delves into human experiences and reactions, such as blushing or children's fascination with dirt, within the context of a Mayan village in Guatemala's cloud forests. It examines how people perceive and categorize the gradable features of their social environment during tense times. By analyzing ethnographic and linguistic evidence, the author reframes anthropology for the Anthropocene, offering a culture-specific perspective that challenges traditional linguistic approaches.
