Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weiner's encounter with "discordant realities" between her research findings and Malinowski's findings indicates shifts in anthropological perspectives and knowledge over the 60-year period. It suggests that anthropological knowledge is not static, but rather evolves with time and new research. It does not suggest that Malinowski's work was necessarily flawed or that Weiner was "overinfluenced" by his work. It also does not suggest that Weiner was specifically trying to contradict Malinowski's findings as her "theoretical opponent." Additionally, there is no indication that Malinowski's interpretations were mistaken because of a male-centred perspective.
