Participant Observation in the Practice of the Sociological School of Bucharest
Abstract: The monographic campaigns of the Sociological School from Bucharest from 1927-1938 can be discussed (also) in the methodological key of participant observation (accredited at the time by the authority of the fieldwork pursued by Bronislaw Malinowski in the Trobriand Islands, between 1914-1918). In our text, we will refer to the situations of ethnographic “enrollment” of monographic researchers (for example, Dimitrie Gusti or Henri H. Stahl), through their participation in forms of community life and through the reflexivity thus founded on the understanding of the Romanian villages of the past. From a theoretical point of view, the adoption of participant observation in the course of research in Vrancea County, Bucovina and Făgăraș County contributed (along with anthropometry, holism and the study of kinship) to the rapprochement of the two disciplines and (especially) to the Gustian heritage within the Francisc I. Rainer Institute of Anthropology, from the post-war period.
Keywords: participant observation, monograph research, interwar period, Nerej, Fundul Moldovei, Drăguș, Gustian heritage, anthropology
