ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book demonstrates the feel for ethnographic relevance to a large extent is mediated by the bodily and sensory experience that may precede linguistic competence. It also demonstrates how 'in taste, the experience of world and body are perhaps most closely interwoven'. The book shows how moral judgment is embodied in a particular person. Cultural models are embodied, both in the sense that they become encoded in bodily practices, and in the sense that they are expressed in action rather than words. In the anthropological literature the body has been largely absent as the locus of perceiving, or the ultimate point of orientation. The book also shows how the particular conditions of knowledge in anthropology as founded in fieldwork contribute to a sense of shared experience among anthropologists.
