In class 17 , we’ve discussed how Cultural Anthropology builds relations to create knowledge. That is, we create second (as well as third) person knowledge by getting to know others and learning about our world through their points of view. For today’s activity, we will write a letter TO someone, while you narrate a story ABOUT them. Be sure to include who YOU are and why YOU are writing to this other person. That is how we forge inter-subjective knowledge and understanding. Letters should be ten sentences, minimum, and be written to someone who you encountered in the course of your fieldwork activity last week. Unless you make a note otherwise atop the letter, asking the letter not be made public, what you write may be shared with the class.
