In this paper, the anthropologist Lila Abu-Lughod discusses and criticizes the propositions announced by the book Writing Culture, edited by James Clifford and Marcus Fisher. The author proposes that anthropologists begin to write against the concept of culture, emphasizing a type of ethnography of the particular that is able to escape the crystallization of differences and generalizations. The article is also a reaction to the absence of feminists and researchers of multiple ethnic and regional origin in the set of chapters published by Clifford and Fisher that in turn inaugurated a whole theoretical movement in anthropology commonly known as postmodern anthropology. Abu-Lughod's text, as influential as the book by Clifford and Fisher, marks an important theoretical and ethnographic moment for the discipline, by emphasizing and showing the positionality of knowledge beyond the partiality enunciated by postmodern authors.
