Correct Transcript:

Approaching cosmological and ontological differences seriously implies suspending the parading of universalism which has proved itself a most effective tool in the neutralisation of the thought and cosmologies of others. There is no need here to deepen further this controversy. No doubt this debate between two prominent figures of the discipline raises measure question not only about cultural and ontological differences, but also about how we are, as anthropologists, to take seriously what the others say about the world, about other ways of being knowing and relating to the world. Another point at which I wish to make here is that, as anthropologists, we should never lose sight of what are considered as one of our main responsibilities, and that is understand and translate.

Printed "parade", the speaker says "parading"

Explanation: Listen again to "the parading of universalism". On the page it shows "parade", so click that one.

Printed "conversation", the speaker says "controversy"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "deepen further this controversy". The page shows "conversation". Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "ontology", the speaker says "ontological"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "and ontological differences". It starts with the same first letter, but the spoken word is longer.

Printed "realising", the speaker says "relating"

Explanation: The speaker says "and relating to the world", not "realising". The two words end the same, so listen for the middle part.

Printed "stand", the speaker says "sight"

Explanation: Listen for "lose sight of what". On the page it is "stand", and they end differently so listen to the final sound.

"neutralisation" matches the audio

Explanation: "the neutralisation of the thought" is a long phrase that may look odd. It is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"anthropologists" matches the audio

Explanation: "as anthropologists, we should" has a long word next to changes. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.
