precise description of the suq

Geertz’s methodology, combining participant observation, interviews, archives, and cartography, provides a dense and precise description of the suq, which he presents as a model of a “bazaar economy” applicable to other traditional markets. However, some critics point out that this morphological approach tends to freeze social categories and underestimate the fluidity and creativity of actors in their daily interactions. Despite these limitations, the study remains a major reference in economic anthropology, offering a detailed understanding of the social, cultural, and economic dimensions of traditional markets. หนังใหม่2025
