There is something to add to the first of the two items that followed, and
which Ingold articulated as important for anthropological writing. I'd like to
add this quote from him that i read this morning:
"But there is more to an anthropological perspective than that. At the very
least, it is grounded in the realities of everyday experience, intrinsically
comparative (so that even when describing aspects of their own society,
anthropologists are mindful of other ways of living), and suspicious of any a
priori claim to the superiority of modern Western civilization. "

Technology and Culture 40.1 130-132
