Document Summary
Review from last week: fieldwork what anthropologists do, ethnography the knowledge anthropologists produce. Objective and subjective knowledge: representation - how anthropologists do ethnography, how we represent the world affects how we act towards it. Representation > often embedded in society, justify actions etc. tsumani questions how kinds of people in the world are viewed as worthy victims". The gaze > who gets to make representations about whom, determines who gets to be worth of attention nd for what purpose > worthy and unworthy victims > how we represent the world affects how we act towards it! Where to invade next - lm plays into assumptions about america. We are developed, progressive, forward thinking it reveals that the ideas of progress and development are based on what our culture tells us, not what is actually happening shown through other areas that are very progressive themselves. Try for truth but will always just be partial truth.
