Pink - Chapter 2: Principle for Sensory Ethnography

This article was an introduction to a very complex way of thinking. Personally I believe there is so much common sense to the theories of ethnography that to analyze and discover the reasons behind it, becomes a problem for the very wise. To start off, perception is a very vital key to any research, especially phycological. The place we are in, the senses we use depend greatly on our perception. The Body-mind-environment is a great formulation to summarize the embodiment of perception. The relationship between humans Nd their environment not only creates the human, and the future that it will create, but also the ever changing social and Geographical features of the environment itself. Sour senses are viewed as one organism that influences are perception, or rather is the means to the environment around us. They are facets of the whole organism in its environment. Second, the place upon which we surround our selves has caused us to develope a sense of self and relationships. Our environment is always changing and evolving due to social and material relations and practices. We belong there and it belongs to us. Even when traveling to different environments, we move to a trajectorie that we can relate to. Place is an event, a gathering process and a 'throw togetherness'. Following place, knowledge is formed the experience of knowing through participation in our environment. Knowledge is also practice of skill and mimicking at an early stage of life the developing skill set. Creating one's own emplaned skill is also crucial. This way behavior and development is acceptable and progressive. Memories are another interesting part of the web. It is as the the past is brought through the present due to a triggered sense of the human organism. Lastly imagination, coming from our past, our seems, our environment, our place, is created not only projecting the future, but theories to be discovered, past thought to be debated and dreams or visions towards the better. Ethnography really shows who, whe, when and how we are the way we are. Why we live in the place we live and how our lives take the path they take. As humans we door pay attention to these elements, although we are never without them.
