Drawing on anthropological scholarship on the senses, embodiment, and communication, we argue for a capacity-based anthropology that takes account of human variation in all domains of everyday life, including “the field” and “the anthropology seminar.” Such an approach allows us to consider the ways that humans are differently malleable, and we stress that enacting malleability, when possible, is a kind of ethical engagement. Attending to malleability—and its limits—allows us to imagine and produce a more sensitive anthropology. A more sensitive anthropology would expand the discipline's understanding of who counts as an anthropologist and what counts as anthropological praxis.

变得可塑

借鉴人类学关于感官、体现和交流的学术成果，我们主张一种基于能力的人类学，它考虑到人类在日常生活所有领域的差异，包括“现场”和“人类学研讨会”。这种方法使我们能够考虑人类具有不同可塑性的方式，并且我们强调，在可能的情况下，实现可塑性是一种道德参与。关注可塑性及其局限性，使我们能够想象并产生更敏感的人类学。更加敏感的人类学将扩大该学科对谁算作人类学家以及什么算作人类学实践的理解。
