Stoller Argues That This Attitude Is In Itself Eurocentric And Is Particularly Inappropriate For Anthropologists, Who Often Work In Societies In Which The Notion Of Text, And Textual Interpretation, Is Foreign.Throughout Sensuous Scholarship Stoller Argues For The Importance Of Understanding The 'Sensuous Epistemologies' Of Many Nonwestern Societies So That We Can Better Understand The Societies Themselves And What Their Epistemologies Have To Teach Us About Human Experience In General.
