Entender lo extraño

If you want to understand strange cultures you have to understand their own logic, you have to try to understand how they understand and see themselves, how they see and interpret their own world. The main mistake of most anthropologists and ethnologists consists in the fact, that they impose their own logic at alien cultures. It mostly starts with the description of misunderstood cultures using the logic of the language of unsuspecting anthropologists. In this manner, one logic imposes another. In general, they don’t understand each other. But besides the hardly surmountable differences between cultures, there are also elements which all share. All human beings are born and die; they realize this fact and seek to assimilate it in their own way. They share the same fear of death agony and seek to overcome it by sacrifice cults. There is no community without sacrifice cults. But they understand and interpret the same facts they share different. Here you can start any search to understand the bizarre.
