For my folklore grad program, we had to read an article on
cock fighting. The author was a folklorist/anthropologist who
visited a Central American/South American country (can't
remember which). He and his wife tried to study the
indigenous people. However, the people wouldn't open up to
them. That is, until during an attendance of a cock fight,
they ran away like the natives when the cock fight was raided
by the police. They ran into a house where the people set up
lunch and when the police came, the home owner said, they
hadn't attended the cock fight, they'd been having lunch with
these distinguished professors. After that, the author and
his wife fight in. The author proceeded to study/talk more
about the culture of cockfighting (the bird representing its
owner, etc).
