[Linganth] author interview with Gretchen Bakke

[Ilana Gershon]

Dear Colleagues,

Krisztina Fehérváry interviewed Gretchen Bakke about her new book, The 
Likeness.   You can see the
interview here: *https://campanthropology.org*

For a quick sense of what the book is about -- here is the press blurb:

/The Likeness/ is a close ethnographic study of subjectivity in the 
former Yugoslav republic of Slovenia. In this highly imaginative work, 
the author argues that much of what matters in Slovenia plays out on 
surfaces—of people and things, systems and locations—rendering the 
complexity of expression external and legible, but rarely unique or 
original. Here likenesses are everywhere in bloom and powerfully 
deployed. Moving blithely from Slovenia’s most famous thinkers to its 
most confounding artists, from grammatical categories of number to the 
particularities of history, /The Likeness/ explores alternative modes of 
self-expression as postsocialist Slovenia gains visibility on the world 
stage.


Best,
Ilana
