Description

In "Watching the English," anthropologist Kate Fox takes a revealing look at the quirks, habits, and foibles of the English people. She puts the English national character under her anthropological microscope and finds a strange and fascinating culture, governed by complex sets of unspoken rules and byzantine codes of behaviour. The rules of weather-speak, the ironic-gnome rule, the reflex apology rule, the paranoid-pantomime rule, class indicators and class anxiety tests, the money-talk taboo, and many more. Through a mixture of anthropological analysis and her own unorthodox experiments (using herself as a reluctant guinea pig), Kate Fox discovers what these unwritten behaviour codes tell us about Englishness.
