Ethnologist Marc Auge has studied African societies and the social significance of art objects and structures within its culture.
There is, of course, no reason to deny the early ethnologists our respect for the systems of thought they discovered; I'm thinking, for example, of Marcel Griaule, and his reconstitution of Dogon cosmology.
As ethnologists know, in every ritual system it has clearly been sensed that the administration of otherness is what allows for the definition of identity.

The respected ethnologist, who had spent many decades immersed in the magic world of ethnology, must have been surprised that the time would come when his scientific contribution would be declared unwelcome.
The ethnologist was accused not so much of telling lies, as of concentrating on ‘what divides us as opposed to what unites us’.
Montenegrin ethnologists who returned home after completing their studies at the University of Belgrade dared not to admit their profession for fear of losing their jobs.

 The Space of Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Geertz famously turned the ethnologist from a writer into a reader when he declared: “The culture of a people is an ensemble of texts, themselves ensembles, which the anthropologist strains to read over the shoulders of those to whom they properly belong.”
The underlying rules and structures of a culture, which the ethnologist tries to disclose by observing them whilst they are actually enacted, have to be re-enacted over and over again in face-to-face situations, that is, in the presence of those who belong to a culture.
The ethnologist discovered different groups of people, made the descriptions of these accessible to comparisons, and thereby invented the cultures he proclaimed to have discovered.

Where daily meals are concerned, an ethnologist should always trust the advice of a friend, especially if the friend is curate of the country town where he has chosen to settle temporarily.
Of course – but it is professionally and digestively inappropriate for him to forget that the main meal of the village inhabitants –almuerzo – is eaten at about three in the afternoon, because it ‘divides the day in two’.
Free at last of the constraints imposed by his failure to assimilate the rules of living, and the terror of eating too much or the more or less self-inflicted ethical limitations, he savors this precious moment in which everything contributes to his conviction that his work sometimes provides moments of intense, authentic pleasure.

 Australian Journal of Anthropology, The: The goddess, the ethnologist, the folklorist and the cadre: situating exegesis ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
As Vietnam is a country in which a solitary party remains firmly in control of the public sphere and most of its ethnologists and folklorists are on the state's payroll, one plausible explanation of the scholarly interest in these symbols is that it reflects a new policy direction taken by the state towards religious practice.
This study of scholarly exegesis of goddess worship goes beyond the political and economic factors that influence the writings of Vietnamese ethnologists and folklorists to explore the cultural and social factors that shape their interpretations.
One frequently encounters the assumption among some urban intellectuals in Vietnam that people living in rural and remote areas, with a 'low level' of education are more prone to misapprehend the forces of nature or redress their failings in the face of a potent nature through a religious lens.

 Cannibal Dances in the Kwakiutl World
The dance ethnologist attempts to understand the dance through analyzing, examining and understanding the larger cultural context.
The dance ethnologist also can begin understanding the culture through the study of dance and ritual—the dance event which Schifflin says can be interpreted as a microcosm of the larger society.
Finally, and especially for the dance ethnologist, the Dance Event and the Dance Symbol within it embody and encode layer upon layer of the meaning of their mythic complex and world view.

 HAIDA TATTOO KIT
The "Haida Tattoo Kit" was uncovered by Lars Krutak at the National Museum of Natural History's Museum Support Center (MSC), where all objects associated with that museum (which are not on exhibition) are housed.
Though a carver today may use a chain saw to rough in a design and paint the finished work with enamel house paints, many of the other tools used are not much changed from these traditional ones collected over 100 years ago.
When first seeing photos of the Haida tattooing instruments, (collected by ethnologist James G. Swan in 1883) I was struck by the similarity to Japanese tattooing tools, in particular, the paint brushes.

This seems to put the ethnologist in the position of doing semiotic or textual analysis rather than compiling notes on the comings and goings of the natives, and might make such an ethnological enterprise more akin to the study of language or literature than to participant observation in physically bounded communities.
While the electronic ethnologist does not have to worry about physical appearance and dress, it became clear to us that one's "look" and its grounding in local customs plays a role in whether, how and on what terms a person is accepted into a community.
An ethnologist operating in a text-based community such as alt.cyberpunk must also be cognizant of subtle "dialects" that vary across newsgroups, and of more widely accepted textual linguistic conventions.

 Methods and Results of Ethnology (1865)
Or, the ethnologist may turn to the study of the practical life of men; and relying upon the inherent conservatism and small inventiveness of untutored mankind, he may hope to discover in manners and customs, or in weapons, dwellings, and other handiwork, a clue to the origin of the resemblances and differences of nations.
Or, he may resort to that kind of evidence which is yielded by History proper, and consists of the beliefs of men concerning past events, embodied in traditional, or in written, testimony.
One of the acutest and most original of ethnologists, Desmoulins, originated the idea, which has subsequently been fully developed by Agassiz, that the distribution of the persistent modifications of man is governed by the same laws as that of other animals, and that both fall into the same great distributional provinces.

 Racial Character
And if you're a biologist, ethnologist or medical doctor, you explain it by reference to the actual racial character of Native Americans themselves and by claiming that they had to die out.
Yes, of course it is racist to say that the near-genocide of the native populations of North America was a result of the "racial character" of Native Americans themselves, and that Native Americans "had to die out".
If you have heard a biologist, ethnologist, or medical doctor spout this nonsense, perhaps you could give specifics.
