Z. Zhong establishes a methodological principle for cross-cultural research, called anthropological fideism. While anthropologists take for granted that natives don't really believe the unintelligible or inexplicable things they say, and what they say should express a deeper social meaning, Zhong contends that if we have a translation manual that can interpret a foreign language, and if natives are asserting honestly, then what natives say still express natives' belief, no matter how absurd it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613956685975,"sku":"9780761827443","price":7620.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780761827443.webp?v=1775089211","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/possibility-of-anthropological-fideism-an-essay-on-symbol-interpretation-and-enigmas-in-cross-cultural-inquiries-9780761827443","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
