Consider an assembly of thousands of people, all screaming, yelling, and drinking, while a
smaller group in the center of the assembly area fights over the remains of a dead pig. Why
might this be seen as significant in anthropological terms if it were part of the research described
in Horace Miner’s interpretations of Nacirema culture?
a. It helps to understand how to avoid judgment about cultural beliefs and practices.
b. It affords a window into the nature of spectacle.
c. It illustrates mass ritual effectively.
d. It is a powerful example of participant observation.
