It claims to produce genuine insights into the workings of culture in general on the basis of individual social experience in the field. \u003cem\u003eSocial Experience and Anthropological Knowledge\u003c\/em\u003e traces the process from the ethnographic experience to the analytical results, showing how fieldwork enables the ethnographer to arrive at an understanding, not only ofculture' andsociety', but also of the processes by which cultures and societies are transformed. The contributors challenge the distinction between subjectivity and objectivity, redefine what we should mean byempirical' and demonstrate the complexity of present-day epistemological problems through concrete examples. By demystifying subjectivity in the ethnographic process and re-emphasizing the vital position of fieldwork, they do much to renew confidence in the anthropological project of comprehending the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46929385455767,"sku":"9780415106580","price":3533.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415106580.webp?v=1771599364","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/social-experience-and-anthropological-knowledge-9780415106580","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
