EmicandEticPerspectivesofHalloweenPaperweek11.docx

Introduction

The Religion chapter of our textbook asserts that:

“. . . to study supernatural beliefs, anthropologists must cultivate a perspective of cultural relativism and strive to understand beliefs from an emic or insider’s perspective” (Henninger-Rener, 2020, p. 288).

In preparation for drafting your paper, consider the following points:

· Analyze the beliefs of people in the United States regarding the holiday of Halloween from both the emic (insider’s) perspective, and from the etic (outsider’s, or observer’s) perspective.

· Consider and discuss the customs, traditions, rituals, and/or practices that some Americans participate in to celebrate Halloween.

· Consider what meanings the celebrations surrounding Halloween have for people celebrating the holiday.

· Do these meanings vary among celebrants?

· Do these meanings vary across sub-cultural groups, genders, age grades, or age sets?

Consider and discuss what it means to reject a holiday or to choose not to celebrate a particular holiday.

Consider and discuss the significance of celebrations that are described as alternatives to Halloween that occur on or near October 31st (such as harvest celebrations in the United States)?
