Anthropology is the study of humanity. Anthropology has origins in the
natural sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences.[1][2] Ethnography is
both one of its primary methods, and the text that is written as a result of the
practice of anthropology and its elements.
Since the work of Franz Boas and Bronisław Malinowski in the late 19th and early
20th centuries, social anthropology has been distinguished from other social
science disciplines by its emphasis on in-depth examination of context,
cross-cultural comparisons (socio-cultural anthropology is by nature a
comparative discipline), and the importance it places on long-term, experiential
immersion in the area of research, often known as participant-observation.
Cultural anthropology in particular has emphasized cultural relativity and the
use of findings to frame cultural critiques. This has been particularly
prominent in the United States, from Boas's arguments against 19th-century
racial ideology, through Margaret Mead's advocacy for gender equality and sexual
liberation, to current criticisms of post-colonial oppression and promotion of
multiculturalism.
