EN

The term 'anthropological imagination' means the contestation of Western modernity's existing social order through comparison to a non-Western other. Anthropologists used to perceive this distinction through the concept of culture. The author investigates three fundamental 'turns' of applying imagination into culture research in the history of anthropology. The main thesis of the essay is that today we face a new form of post-anthropological imagination. 'Culture' begins to be a common denominator of the ideology of multiculturalism
