Anthropology: A Student's Guide to Theory and Method By Stanley R. Barrett

In this research study, the background from sociology has been split right into three stages: structure the clinical basis of the discipline, patching the cracks that eventually arose, and demolishing and rebuilding, mostly hitting the original base and starting over. The first phase began in the late nineteenth century and ended in the 1950s when the colonial world began to disintegrate. The second phase centered around the 1960s, when new theories emerged and methods were refined to address the doubts that the scientific study of culture had been established, recognizing that change and conflict were dominant, such as stability and harmony. The third phase began in the seventies of the last century and continued today, dominated by postmodernism and feminist anthropology. One of the main arguments to which I have referred is that the beginning of the second step, and an increase during the third period, created a gap between our theories and our methods. For most of the history of anthropology, we talk about our plans for the language of science. In recent decades, however, our views deny science, in a process that has pushed us more than ever into the humanities.
