Mary Douglas:
"Today too much dominance is given to the anthropologists themselves within the research. This is strange, as it used to be that the main criticism was that anthropologists kept themselves invisible in the research in a way that was really artificial. This accusation - pretending to be anonymous on the part of the writers - changed, and in its stead there has been an opposite phenomenon: dominance of the writers over the research material. Thus, today we are exposed far more to the experiences and thoughts of the writer, while the methodology and the orderly method have declined considerably."
