seanchaidh101 asked: It's Clifford Geertz who did thick description and the whole meaning of a wink.
Hey girl,
I love it when we engage in critical discourse. You’re so right that Clifford Geertz interrogated and popularized the notion of “thick description” by exploring the varied cultural meanings of a wink. However, Geertz was drawing from Gilbert Ryle’s discussion of winking and thick description in the philosophical work, “The Thinking of Thoughts: What is ‘Le Penseur’ Doing?” And when I wink at you, there is a whole other layer of meaning.
