"Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun..." – #Geertz
We live within complex cultural webs of #symbols and #beliefs, crafting our understanding of the world, yet those meanings are not always self-evident or fixed—they are constantly being #woven and #reinterpreted.
While #Boas and #Geertz highlight the need for balancing structure with agency and cultural nuance, the #FrenchSchoolofSociology profoundly shaped #anthropology by emphasising scientific methods, collective representations, and the interconnectedness of social #systems and #phenomena.
Also, the school’s positivist approach to studying social phenomena led #Geertz to argue it oversimplified the complexities of human cultures, ignoring #subjective experiences and the #nuanced ways people experience their cultures and identities, which cannot be reduced to observable facts alone. ⬇
