Quotes by Sherry B. Ortner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Ethnography of course means many things. Minimally, however, it has always meant the attempt to understand another life world using the self - as much of it as possible - as the instrument of knowing.”
Sherry B. Ortner, Anthropology and Social Theory: Culture, Power, and the Acting Subject

“Woman is not "in reality" any closer to (or further from) nature than man - both have consciousness, both are mortal.”
Sherry B. Ortner, Feminist Studies

“In other words, woman's consciousness- her membership, as it were, in culture - is evidence in part by the very fact that she accepts her own devaluation and takes culture's point of view.”
Sherry B. Ortner, Anthropology and Social Theory: Culture, Power, and the Acting Subject
