Summary

Introduction

Andrew Beatty considers the emotional worlds that anthropologists are seeking to interpret but embody through experience. Beatty recognizes that if emotions are misunderstood, so is the cultural scene, and most significantly the narrative (3). He desires to enhance ethnography by incorporating emotional experience without sacrificing human complexity (17). Beatty acknowledges the depth of emotion that penetrates human experience and is often sifted out of ethnography.
