AUTHOR
SUMMARY
The concepts of emics and etics have spread throughout the social sciences and humanities since their invention by linguist Kenneth Pike in the 1950s. Referring to insider versus outsider, subjective versus objective views of the world, these concepts are vital for researchers dealing with cultures other than their own. Pike uses this volume as a forum to explain the development of emics and etics and their usage today. He is joined in the debate by renowned anthropologist Marvin Harris, founder of the school of cultural materialism. Eight other scholars add to the scholarly discourse and demonstrate applications of the concepts in a variety of disciplines.Headland, Thomas N. is the author of 'Emics and Etics: The Insider/Outsider Debate - Kenneth Pike - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780803937383 and ISBN 0803937385.
