The Marquis and the Anthropologist, a Collaboration

Beschreibung

Anthropologist George Marcus and Fernando Mascarenhas, Marques of Fronteira and Alorna, reveal the key relationship between anthropologist and subject through their letters and commentaries. This innovative and experimental ethnography is a reflection on the survival of the contemporary Portuguese nobility. It will appeal to scholars of anthropological methods and fieldwork, and to researchers interested in the anthropology of elites and in Portuguese culture.
