Document Summary
All cultures are relatable, there is no inferior or superior cultures. This led to the the interpretivist approach - a thick description of the behaviours that have more than one meaning. Ex. winking (what is happening with the wink) Learned/shared knowledge that people use to generate behaviour. Shared within a system of meaning through knowledge. Tied to the idea of one man, on people, one island. There was a to of practice to the eld. So back then, it would be a trial by re experience. A person exploring a savage space then bringing back their perspective. You have an anxiety when going to a different culture. Ex. being exposed to new languages and food. Build relationships and establishing rapport: key informants have a halfsie status, they are. Should get multiple perspectives to build a better understanding of the culture bilingual, lled them into their culture unknowns such as you might get drafted or tried to get married off)
