Socio-Cultural anthropological methodology.
The Barruf is a cultural form that emerged from numerous uncontrolable interactions, tensions and conflicts between us, eachother, the landscape, "our" and "their" history, between the self and the staged self ... It is a state of minfd used by the anthropologist during field research. To be aware of this uncontrolable emerging process as a researcher is to be aware of oneself and his or her place in the world. Furthermore when trying to understand this reality one is obliged to work from the inside out: to understand the system from within. Starting from within the 'self', for the anthropologist does not approach the field, he throws himself in the field. Not with great caution, but with modest self-awareness and decisive humility.
"Like the pebble which marks the surface of the wave with circles as it passes through it, I must throw myself into the water if I am to plumb the depths." Claude Lévi-Strauss, Tristes Tropiques
