 (From interview with George Marcus, September 12, 2023)In this particular field work moment I encountered a figure who was, for lack of a better term. in a state of alienation from his own embedded culture. And that's a difficult place to be in these small exhaustively ranked communities. He never lost the tinge of the rank that he had lost. So his adaptation was basically, a kind of alienation, a kind of eccentric, but one who was tolerated because of who he had been, but had lost the outside demonstrations of the ring.
