Notes and Queries on Anthropology
Author: Ethnography
Author: Harry F. WolcottPublisher: Rowman Altamira
ISBN: 9780761990918
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Harry Wolcott, one of anthropology's leading writers on ethnographic methods, here addresses the nature of the ethnographic enterprise itself. Tracing its development from its disciplinary origins in sociology and anthropology, he helps the reader understand what is distinctive about ethnography and what it means to conduct research in the ethnographic tradition. In this engaging, thought-provoking book, he distinguishes ethnography as more than just a set of field methods and practices, separating it from many related qualitative research traditions as a way of seeing through the lens of culture. For both beginning and experienced ethnographers in a wide range of disciplines, Wolcott's book will provide important ideas for improving research practice.
Homo Hierarchicus
Author: Louis DumontPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226169634
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
Louis Dumont's modern classic, here presented in an enlarged, revised, and corrected second edition, simultaneously supplies that reader with the most cogent statement on the Indian caste system and its organizing principles and a provocative advance in the comparison of societies on the basis of their underlying ideologies. Dumont moves gracefully from the ethnographic data to the level of the hierarchical ideology encrusted in ancient religious texts which are revealed as the governing conception of the contemporary caste structure. On yet another plane of analysis, homo hierarchicus is contrasted with his modern Western antithesis, homo aequalis. This edition includes a lengthy new Preface in which Dumont reviews the academic discussion inspired by Homo Hierarchicus and answers his critics. A new Postface, which sketches the theoretical and comparative aspects of the concept of hierarchy, and three significant Appendixes previously omitted from the English translation complete this innovative and influential work.
The Tape-recorded Interview
Author: Edward D. IvesPublisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press
ISBN: 9780870498787
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Since 1980, The Tape-Recorded Interview has been an essential resource for folklorists and oral historians--indeed, for anyone who uses a tape recorder in field research. Now, Sandy Ives has updated this manual to reflect the current preferences in tape-recording technology and equipment. When this book was first published, the reel-to-reel recorder was the favored format for fieldwork. Because the cassette recorder has almost completely replaced it, Ives has revised the first chapter, "How a Tape Recorder Works," accordingly and has included a useful discussion of the differences between analog and digital recording. He has also added a brief section on video, updated the bibliography, and reworked his original comments on tape cataloging and transcription. As in the first edition, Ives's emphasis is on documenting the lives of common men and women. He offers a careful, step-by-step tour through the collection process--finding informants, making advance preparations, conducting the actual interview, obtaining a release--and then describes the procedures for processing the taped interview and archiving such materials for future use. He also gives special treatment to such topics as recording music, handling group interviews, and using photographs or other visual material during interviews.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes and Queries on Anthropology It has been found necessary to recast entirely the first part Anthropography owing to the great development of this branch of the science. In doing so the editor has had the assistance of Dr. Beddoe, who was author of almost the entire first part of the former edition. Mr. George Atkinson has rendered valuable assistance in the production of the coloured plate, which it is hoped will be more permanent than that in the first edition. The sections on Medical Anthropology in the former edition have been revised and rewritten, and several new sections added; for assis tance in this department, thanks are due to Dr. Robert F elkin.
