etnografikus

The term "etnografikus" is a Hungarian adjective meaning ethnographic. It is used to describe anything related to ethnography, the scientific study of people and cultures. This can include methods, materials, or concepts within the field of ethnography. For example, an "etnografikus gyűjtemény" would refer to an ethnographic collection, and an "etnografikus kutatás" would signify ethnographic research.

Ethnography itself is a qualitative research method that involves immersive observation and interaction with a particular community or group of people to understand their social and cultural aspects. It often involves fieldwork, where the researcher lives among the subjects, participates in their daily lives, and documents their customs, beliefs, social structures, and behaviors. The aim is to gain an in-depth, holistic understanding of the culture from the insider's perspective.

Therefore, when something is described as "etnografikus," it implies a connection to this detailed and often participatory study of human societies and their diverse ways of life. It points towards an approach that seeks to understand the world through the eyes of those being studied, emphasizing cultural relativism and the avoidance of ethnocentric judgments. The adjective is a direct linguistic marker of its origin and field of study.
