So apparently <identity> is what personal narratives are all about.
So we set out on the journey to search for each of our identities.
So it is that I start off with a hopeful face.
So incredibly hard is finding my identity; have I tried or have I not?
A minor question:
what happens to the cultures that do not produce anthropologist?
Are they simply meant not to be recorded or studied?
Yum!
Can there be a culture where no curiosity is spawned? Where outliers are born, whom rejects the conventional orthodoxies, who objects to religious dogma, and in its course, analyze the elements constituting a culture, there would be anthropologists. So a short answer, yes anthropologists will be present as much as one can trip over their well-fit sneakers.
ReplyDeleteBut think again, can't cultures evolve to eliminate anthropologists, will not future technologies enable to make aberration a deceased trait? Something else to think about...

it's not only the 'Anthropologist', it's the traveller, the merchant, the student, the immigrant, the poet, the parent, the child . . all are constantly involved in the process of understanding themselves and their world. It's about being self aware, and what we produce; in essence, culture. If you want to write a book about it, you could. It isn't the only option available to you of course, but it is there.
