3. If we speak from the ethnography (as proposed by these authors) What separates and what unites the Cultural Studies and Anthropology?
Firstly, we can see that what separates cultural studies in anthropology is that it comes as a disciplinary field of knowledge, which means about its own methods and theoretical framework delineated. In contrast, cultural studies are presented as a transdisciplinary field that relates different theories and methods borrowed from different fields of knowledge. It is very likely that the emergence of cultural studies and practical has transformed the academic discipline of anthropology and vice versa.
On the other hand, if we consider ethnography as a way of doing anthropology allows us to think about the links between cultural studies and anthropology, ethnography can be conceived both as a field itself and as a method, practice and / or instrument used in other fields, as noted by Willis in Manifesto for Ethnography: "Of course, ethnography is an ESTABLISHED practice Within A variety of disciplines with Their own comprehensive history ... " (Willis 395). In this regard we note that the relationship between these two fields is that ethnography can serve as a tool for building knowledge in Cultural Studies.
Marcus's article makes many observations about contemporary ethnography we believe, could be wrapped up within a close approach to cultural studies. One example is the work of Julie Taylor "Paper Tangos", which may belong to different categories of research, as well as can be seen as a writing exercise, also could be framed as a work of anthropology (given the training, and interests of the author to propose new ways of doing anthropology), or work in cultural studies (since, through different relationships that are woven from the tango, explores social and cultural issues as violence, identity, embodiment, etc.. expressing an interest in the relationship between form and content, among other things).
addition, ethnography multivocal / multilocal, as explained by Marcus, anthropology arises in the context of interdisciplinary work as studies of the media, feminist studies and science studies and technology and some lines of cultural studies and not in the context of traditional anthropology (112). Also if you look at the four points that Willis develops as the "distinguishing characteristics of ethnography" (396-397), ("The Recognition of the role of theory as a precursor, medium, and outcome of ethnographic study and writing, The centrality of culture; A Critical focus in research and writing, An Interest in cultural policy and cultural politics ") we can see that it is also important for cultural studies.
Hence, one of the common elements and contemporary anthropology cultural studies can be seen from the readings, is the awareness that we need both a broad framework of concepts such as multiple methodological tools to understand from a critical perspective and a new way socio-cultural dynamics currently in search of its political transformation. As Willis notes, "A more panoramic view and shows extended and ever-Increasing Importance of the cultural to the social ... The Renewed Importance of everyday cultural practices, Understood From Below, is Picked Up in Different Ways by Virtually all of the subcategories and hyphenated of the social sciences. "(397)
