linganth

The unique “linganth” concern is figuring out how to position transcripts in the context of other ethnographic data and how to ground inferences from discourse detail to matters of culture, history and political economy derived from other ethnographic material.

Along with sociologists and psychoanalysts, linganths study identity and, more and more frequently, the process of identification (Smith 2010) – of identifying with someone or as this or that (Kulick 2009).
