Just because someone does not refer to him- or herself as a ‘genius,’ do you not call them a ‘genius’?! We knows an anthr’pologist when we seez ‘em, even if he or she claims to be a historian or social theorist or journalist… Foucault? Anthropologist. Bourdieu? Anthropologist. Karl Marx? Anthropologist. Herodotus? Anthropologist. Buddha? Anthropologist…

But the person I disagree with theoretically in my own department? Not doing anthropology. Nope.

I got a huge laugh from the article though.

As an aside, did Foucault actually refer to himself as an anthropologist?

Apocrypha says that Taussig gave him an A.
