ETHNODRAMA AS A RESEARCH METHOD IN ANTHROPOLOGY
Keywords:
ANTHROPOLOGYAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to review some of the literature regarding the use of what can be called the ethnodramatic method in anthropology. As an extension of the psychodrama to the study of culture, it appears pertinent to relate ethnodrama to the technique of sociometry, since both can be utilized in such research; therefore some information regarding sociometry as a tool of investigation by anthropologists has been compiled and included here. The emphasis, however, will be on the methodology and suggested application of ethnodrama to the field of cultural anthropology.
