Whaley from Dartmouth College give an interesting overview on the linguistic work of Charles W. Furlong who worked on the languages of Tierra del Fuego nearly 100 years ago in their article What Does Digital Technology Have to Do with Yaghan?. The article is also a postulation for the use of digital technology in linguistics.

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.
