He regards most of what has been written about Haddon in the past as a form of disciplinary folklore shaped by a theory of scientific revolutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tThe main action takes place in Ireland, where Haddon adopted the persona of a very English savage in a new form of performed photo-ethnography that constituted a singularly modernist achievement in anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tFrom the Introduction:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tAlfred Cort Haddon was written out of the story of anthropology for the same reasons that make him interesting today.
