abstract
Ladislav Holy argues in this paper that by virtue of the self-defining character of human activities, anthropological interpretation could proceed only on the basis of understanding indigenous categories and analysing activities in terms of those categories; imposition of outsiders ’ analytic categories onto local concerns wouldonly lead to confused analyses and the distorted representation of local systems of knowledge.
