Document Summary
Ethnography- the study of human races and/or culture. For tuesday"s reading- skim the first 8 pages of the kirksey, focus on the lowe. This piece is the closest thing we have read to ethnography- first and foremost interested in recounting how he got to these theories. When he is writing, anthropology is critiquing the ways we use knowledge. Deviates from western thought by defining individual words (linguistic anthropologist) (talks about tone and sharpness) Compared to cronin (critiques that we unwittingly reproduce pieces of the sublime, we are unaware of the fact that culture has influenced our perception of nature. Wants conscious efforts in place making) while basso values this influence and looks at the attachment the people have to nature (liberating) Places have a sort of interaction on humans. This article only makes sense in the context of land claim policy.
