Taking the explication of experience as its object as well as its method, Marjorie Shostak's . █████ ███ ████ ███ █████ ██ █ █████ █████ ██████ ████████ █████ █████████ ████████ ███ ██ █████ ██ ██████████ ███ ██████████████ ████████ ███ ███ ███████ ███ ███ ██████████ ███
Topic and significance ·
Shostak's "Nisa," an ethnography (cultural study) built on three narratives
Challenges the typical approach to ethnography, which is general and anonymous. Inference: "Nisa" is specific and personal.
First narrative ·
Shostak's autobiography
Ethnographic account of living with the !Kung people
Second narrative ·
Nisa's story and woman's experience
Unclear who Nisa is, but given context, likely a !Kung woman whom Shostak chose to focus on
Third narrative ·
Cross-cultural
Somehow blurs the line between ethnographer (Shostak) and subject (Nisa). Unclear what this means yet, but likely means Shostak does not play the traditional researcher's role of the impartial, objective observer.
