Yaktovil is an elaborate healing ceremony employed by Sinhalas in Sri Lanka to dispel the effects of the eyesight of a pantheon of malevolent supernatural figures known as yakku. Scott's investigation of yaktovil and yakku within the Sinhala cosmology is also an inquiry into the ways in which anthropology, by ignoring the discursive history of the rituals, religions, and relationships it seeks to describe, tends to reproduce ideological-often, specifically colonial-objects

Examines Talal Asad's (1991) investigation of the relationship between anthropology & colonialism. Prompted by R. G. Collingwood's (1939) notion of the logic of question & answer, Asad mandated a shift in anthropological preoccupation from the production of studies of European colonial occupation to the production of an anthropology of Western hegemony. Asad's contention that the narrative of colonialism should be comprehended as a narrative of the conditions of resistance is examined through a discussion of the construction of anthropological objects & the transforming effects of modern European authority in non-European locations. It is concluded that a historical anthropology of Western domination would essentially produce a historical anthropology of the postcolonial present. 19 References. Adapted from the source document.
