Résumé : |
ENGLISH : This article means to introduce complexity science, more specifically agent-based models, to an anthropological audience. It does so by laying out a research problem that has concerned the author for some time how can illicit drug epidemics be explained ? Traditional social research is simply not adequate to the task. After introducing the newer framework of agent-based modeling, the author argues that both complexity and anthropology focus on narrative of connections and contingencies. With an example of an agent-based model from his own work, the author shows the promising synergies between complexity and anthropological theory and practice. (Author's abstract.) |
