Armchair anthropology refers to the study of different cultures and societies from a distance, often without direct fieldwork or immersion in the community being studied. It can involve analyzing secondary sources, literature, or media representations to form conclusions about a culture. However, armchair anthropology is often criticized for lacking the in-depth understanding that comes from firsthand experience and observation.
