An [anthropological] approach that studies human cultures through a Thoreauvian lens: emphasising simplicity, [relationship] to nature, resistance to state and market, and the value of local, small‑scale societies. It draws on Thoreau’s [appreciation] of Indigenous ways of living and his critique of “improvement” that destroys meaning. Thoreauvian anthropology is wary of grand narratives of progress and instead attends to how people create meaningful lives with limited resources, often outside formal institutions.
