AN100 Lecture 2: AN 100 Lecture 2
Document Summary
Increasing predictability of social interaction among those who operate with different cultural codes: e. g. peace corps volunteers in botswana, training companies, government agencies on intercultural communities. Administrative anthropology: uses knowledge for planned change by those external to the local cultural groups, e. g. if a mayor wanted to know/feedback on something in the city, so an anthropologist would come, do research, and promote the results. Action anthropology: uses knowledge for planned change by the local cultural group, anthropologist as catalyst but avoids decision making. Advocate anthropology: helping a group gain access to power or self-determination, e. g. james spradley released an article on his studies on tramps to help the tramps gain power against authorities.
