An Anthropology of the Subject rounds out the theoretical-philosophical cosmos of one of the twentieth century's most intellectually adventurous anthropologists. Roy Wagner, having turned "culture" and "symbols" inside out (in The Invention of Culture and Symbols That Stand for Themselves, respectively), now does the same for the "subject" and subjectivity. In studying the human subject and the way human culture mirrors itself, Wagner has redefined holography as "the exact equivalence, or comprehensive identity, of part and whole in any human contingency."
Evo i kratkog odlomka iz knjige u kome autor objašnjava pojam holografije u antropološkom kontekstu.
The acute problem faced in holography is that of configuring a relational schematic for a subject that is not relational at all. Any form of representation that can be conceived of mentally or projected physically for what an absolute identity of part and whole might be or mean results in perfect scale model of the mistakes made in trying to represent that identity. But it is precisely because the holographic is pragmatic to our efforts to ascertain its reality in this way, know what we know of it, that it is easily accessible to our understanding. We all know exactly what it is and what it means because it is impossible to conceive or represent. It is the identity formed in trope, whatever the words or conventional figures used to describe it, and whatever the classifications, analytic distinctions, or theories of what a trope is and how it works (e.g. what it "does") might be. So it is also the identity formed in us, as subject, witness, hearer, or speaker, as the human counterpart of the mistakes made in trying to represent it.
