Diashow: Traveling Colombia (in german)


Traveling Colombia... Is Colombia as dangerous as it apears to be on the news? This is for sure no ethnograhphic-dia-show (the students are not anthropologist), but it shows some good and bad sides from this beautiful country... for sure, it shows more than just drugs problems, mafia legends and guerrilla conflicts... appointment: thursday 17th june in Club-in

Pop. Anthropology: Shamanism Conference


Der german newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reports well balanced, sometimes serious, sometimes cynical, about a shamanism conference held in Mondsee, Austria: "Die Wundererwartung ist gewaltig auf Schloss Mondsee. Über jedem Workshop lastet sie drückend wie ein turmhoch aufgestautes Sommergewitter, das sich jeden Moment blitzeschleudernd entladen kann. In den Pausen zucken Vollzugsmeldungen wie Fieberkurven durch die Korridore: Der Indianer hat einem Mann die Migräne ausgesogen. Die Maori hat wieder Unglaubliches gesehen, Tränen sind geflossen! Beim Tanz-Ritual von Kim Keum sind fünf Frauen in Trance gefallen!!! Das Kongress-Energiefeld ist positiv, voll von Enthusiasmen, mit einem wachsenden Drall ins Hysterische. Vorm Schloss-Bistro umklammert ein Rosenheimer Rasta-Man weinend eine Buche." (You may also read the article in the e-paper edition)You may log in to the süddeutsche e-paper with our login (Name:ethno, Passwort:log123) to read the article (Aus den Dunkelkammern ihrer Weisheit) on Seite Drei. After June 14 you can find the article one week in the archive (left border).

torturing for freedom


The US government is defending liberal democracy with means which are denying liberal values. The most appalling thing is that the administration justifies that in public. Read this article and editor's comment in the not quite so radical Financial Times.

Blogging goes commercial


While reading different blogs and comments about a disputed New York Times article about blog addiction (which sadly is no longer available on the internet without subscription. Subscribers can read it here) I found a today's NYT news entry about Nike testing the usage of a blog as advertorial. Nike's Blog is called Art of Speed and is published by a small company called Gawker Media.

The Consumer Anthropologist


I stumbled across this short article about ethnographic methods used for market research issues from Jennifer McFarland published in the Marketing subcategory of Harward Business School "Working Knowledge for Business Leaders" website. Very nice is the how-to on detecting "shady" offers for ethnographic research =).

Alan Macfarlane's webpage


just discovered Alan Macfarlane's website, with lots of personal writing about himself and British Anthropology, and the best: a number of interviews with the intellectual ancestors, among them Geertz, Leach, Firth, fortes. Funny to watch the old guys.
