Document Summary
Indigenous old man plays up the fact that they do things a bit backwards. Two main things: missionary process and the general processes of colonialism. Anthropologists are unbiased, whereas the tourist can be. Anthropologists are involved and more interactive than tourists. Anthropologists are not feeling it or living it, so tourists and anthropologists are t he same (not really right) Interviews, work done in the field, participation, first hand experience = Results from fieldwork comes from 1st hand experience (gathering data) It answers some kind of research question: when anthropologist discuss their fieldwork they say arrival story . Paying close attention when you don"t know all the rules. When an anthropologist lives in and studies another culture over a long period of time (how long = usually depends on the research question you are asking) Missed thursdays class, so missed some of the movie: Long-term approach (hard for questions that need to be answered quickly)
