Anthropology

Anthropology developed out of the interest for the exotic, for the different, for the other. It was a colonial science serving the task to integrate, to develop, and to administer people that are considered to be behind of development...”

Fieldwork

”The method of anthropological research is participant observation. The term participant observation means to live for a long time with people of very different lifestyle and culture.”

My places

”As a student of anthropology I thought it was very interesting to go to Russia, because I realized that we know quite a little about the Soviet Union. It was closed up for anthropology for almost 70 years and it came a place where real discoveries were possible.”
