Но я все же студентам давать не буду читать, малые искажения иногда гораздо опаснее крупных. Вот еще высказывание и линк These accounts comprise a tradition of women ethnographers, not always professionally trained, often writing in a novelistic or fictive voice about culture. Some of these women were the wives of male anthropologists, men who upon completion of their fieldwork continued in the mein of publishing for a professional audience. Kevin Dwyer has noted that the male seemed to adopt the 'objective' explanatory mode, and the female a 'subjective, anecdotal' mode (143-51). (There are plenty of exceptions, one of which is Robert and Yolanda Murphy's collaboration on Women of the Forest.) He suggests contrasting the books of Laura Bohannon, Elizabeth Fernea, Margery Wolf, (and I would add Marion Benedict), to those of their anthropologist husbands to get some idea of this division.

Laura Bohannon describes her book Return to Laughter as an 'anthropological novel.' Bohannon was perhaps even more acutely aware than her contemporaries of disciplinary boundaries of truth and fiction, hence the 'fictional name,' Elenore Smith Bowen.
