 Geertz argued that it was the anthropologist’s responsibility to undertake an interpretive approach to the study of culture in order to make sense of these “webs of significance.” (Geertz, 1973) In order to do so, Geertz advocated for ethnographic studies of culture that provide multi-dimensional descriptions; not only general and reductive information but also idiosyncratic details. Such ethnographies may start out from the most visible elements of culture but dig down into the underlying cultural relations and mechanisms so that we may get a rich understanding of the particulars of the culture in question.
