Anthropology Walsh’s (made in madagascar) and Omidian’s (when bamboo bloom)
In ethnographic work, the researcher ideally takes an objective view in order to analyze and describe a culture. Applied anthropology, though, requires the anthropologist to act on behalf of a client (for example, an NGO or a local community). While Walsh’s (made in madagascar) and Omidian’s (when bamboo bloom) experiences are different in many ways (different part of the world, conflict vs non-conflict zone), this question asks you to focus more narrowly on their “job” in the field: What is each supposed to do, and how does each use elements of the anthro toolkit to accomplish the job? Does applied anthro use the toolkit differently from research ethnography? What does this suggest about the necessary difference between “knowing how something [culture] works” and “knowing how to accomplish something [within the culture]’?
