Document Summary
Fieldwork is a space for changing environments. Pen for change, cuz even though there is a lot of preparation prior to fieldwork, change can happen any time. Phenomena: the thing as it appears to us. *there is a traight relation between these two: the thing is as it appears to me. Positivism: phenomena appears by itself w/o purpose from one"s part. Negativism: cannot understand relationship between phenomena & noumena. A posteriori space created by human action + time. Culture (german): cultivated, has to be grown, has to be done, relationship to the ground (idea of culture coming from somewhere the ground) relationship to the ground. Idea of aim of human existence is to be (like them during this period) Synecdoche: in anthro: substitution of space, making generalizations (i. e. my experience = everybody"s experiences) The production of a field created by the ethnographer a priori fieldwork.
