Question

Explain the difference between etonology and ethnography? ​

Answer 1

Ethnography is the in depth study of a particular cultural group, while ethnology is the comparative study of ethnographic data, society and culture. Many of the readings for this course and your own research project have been ethnographic in nature.

Answer 2

Ethnography is the study of a specific cultural group in depth, whereas ethnology is the comprehensive analysis of ethnographic data, society, and culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The study of humans as cultural beings is known as ethnology. It investigates how cultural patterns are constructed, preserved, and altered across time, space, and social context. Contemporary analysis and historical reconstruction are used to examine people's cultural behaviors and expressions.

Ethnography is used to study specific communities within the researcher's own society as well as distant or unfamiliar cultures. Ethnographic research (also known as participant observation) has been used to investigate gangs, football fans, call center workers, and police officers, among other things.
