Resumo

This article explores the complex relationship between anthropological knowledge and the lived experiences of those we study. Using the metaphor of "seeing through a glass, darkly," Laidlaw argues that anthropological understanding is always partial and incomplete, shaped by our own cultural biases and the limitations of our methods. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging this inherent ambiguity and embracing the uncertainties that come with attempting to understand other cultures. The article encourages a more reflexive approach to ethnographic research, urging anthropologists to consider the ethical implications of their work and the potential for misrepresentation.
