This article explores the transformative impact of the phonograph on the field of ethnography. It argues that the introduction of sound recording technology fundamentally altered ethnographic practices, shifting the focus from textual representation to sonic documentation. The authors trace the early uses of the phonograph by ethnographers, highlighting how it facilitated the collection and analysis of musical traditions, oral narratives, and linguistic data. They also examine the challenges and limitations posed by this new technology, including issues of authenticity, representation, and the power dynamics inherent in the recording process. Ultimately, "A Spiral Way" demonstrates how the phonograph revolutionized the study of culture, opening up new avenues for understanding human expression and experience.
