Anthropology in the Arts (I of II)
One of the most critical issues in anthropology today is that of cultural representation. If we consider that the role of the anthropologist is (loosely) 1) to do fieldwork in a select culture and 2) convey the texture of what he has learned in the course of that fieldwork to a naïve audience, then it should not take long for us to arrive at the conclusion that much of what we know about culture (in either the specific or general sense) is largely dependent on our ability as readers to reasonably access meaning within the analytical or descriptive texts produced from that fieldwork.

How accurately can we represent another culture’s sentiments through word-for-word translations? If certain concepts can be claimed to be universal, which ones are they? As the Vestfold dialect of Norway’s southern region is the one I have most familiarity with, I have chosen to focus on this dialect to go over the most commonly used terms and concepts of euphoric and dysphoric emotions in Norwegian.
