An Evaluation of Geertz' Interpretive Anthropology

Více o knize

The essay explores the complexities of Geertz's approach to interpretive anthropology, emphasizing his integration of various intellectual traditions from social sciences and philosophy. It critiques the idea of a singular theory of cultural interpretation, suggesting that Geertz's work is a synthesis rather than a definitive framework. Key concepts such as semiotic culture, thick description, and the importance of local narratives are discussed, highlighting how these elements contribute to understanding cultural practices in depth.
