This is my first time posting to ANTHRO-L. I am currently working on a
double masters:Cultural Anthropology/Information Science. For my most
recent paper I am attempting to combine the two disciplines. I am seeking
information regarding field techinques of collecting ethnographic
information. Specifically dealing with the problem of retaining the emic
viewpoint of the native group without interjecting Western bias.
If anyone has information regarding this topic
please respond to me personally.
Thanks in advance :)
