The phrase What we learn from anthropology was borrowed from Maurice Godelier (see the bibliography), an anthropologist and an expert of the Baruya, a society in Papua New Guinea.
Godelier ironically claims that it is not enough for an ethnologist to be accepted by a small group of people who become his or her ‘informants’ and have casual conversations around a fire for a few months.
He said that no one is born an ethnologist: you become one, and may choose to be or to remain one even when the area of research is not in distant lands.
What distinction do you make between ethnography, ethnology and anthropology?
