The ethnographer is a little like Hermes: a messenger who, given methodologies for uncovering the masked, the latent, the unconscious, may even obtain his message through stealth. He presents languages, cultures, and societies in all their opacity, their foreignness, their meaninglessness; then like the magician, the hermeneut, Hermes himself, he clarifies the opaque, renders the foreign familiar, and gives meaning to the meaningless. He decodes the message. He interpretes. [Crapanzano 1986: 51 9, (ale za Yatromanalakisem, bo w ręku żem nie miał, czyli non vidi)]
no to musiałby historyk wyglądać chyba tak jak ten tu po prawej Pater Hermes Philosophorum
(ciekawe co dr House powiedziałby o tych przydługich palcach i ziemistej cerze?)
