Comment Dept. of ethnologica, kerleone, February 20, 2003 at 2:49:40 PM CET Latest Cannibalism "Myth" It has been often discussed in cultural anthropology, whether cannibalism is a myth or not, and one argument, that it is, was, that cannibalism has been always reported from the enemies. Latest example comes from the congo: The Pygmies are claiming that the congo rebels eat their enemies, at least is CNN reporting this. If you are interested in the Phygmies you may also read this news about them and their logging dilemma: "Renewed Logging Brings Jobs to Africa's Pygmies, but Also Threatens a Way of Life" ...

Comment Dept. of Publications, kerleone, February 20, 2003 at 9:57:25 AM CET Review: Spain's Road to Empire The Guardian has a review of an interesting book about the spanish conquest and colonisation from Henry Kamen, called "Spain's Road to Empire": "The conquistadores were wrongly named. Those brave men who crossed the Atlantic to "discover" the New World were neither all-conquering, nor all Spanish. Perhaps they should have been called adventurers, collaborators or opportunists, though if you ask a Latin American, you'll hear some choicer suggestions. The point, as made by Henry Kamen in this impressive study, is that Spain alone neither created nor maintained the Spanish empire, which at its peak covered a third of the world, from the Netherlands to New Mexico. Spain did not even exist as a political entity until the 18th century. It was merely an association of states, of which the most powerful was Castile." ... Link (0 comments) ...

Comment Dept. of cyberethnologica, kerleone, February 10, 2003 at 12:45:52 PM CET Personal Knowledge Publishing and its Uses in Research Sébastien Paquet from the Université de Montréal wrote an excellent paper about the use of weblogs in science and research.

Pinse-Tawa, A Lengua Witch-Doctor
"A good type of a Lengua witch-doctor's face. Age about 55. Pockmarks and the absence of eyebrows, eyelashes, and all hair on the face is noticeable. The Indian considers himself superior to dogs, horses, and other hairy animals, and gives this as his reason for the painful operation of pulling out all hair on his body, the top of the head excepted."
