Answer:

The answer is interpretative anthropology.

Explanation:

Interpretative anthropology is based on examining the way certain peoples interpret their own activities. Cliffford Geertz described these activities as "texts" that must be understood by the people who perform them, and then analysed by "literary critics" (the anthropologists).  For this reason, this approach to anthropology is mostly based on the principles of linguistics and philosophy.
