becoming an anthropologist: May 2006

http://becomingananthropologist.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

This blog is about me and my life somewhere between bahia, chicago and helsinki. May 31, 2006. One more week to go. Until then though I have to figure out how to put Derrida, Massumi, de Certeau and Bourdieu into dialogue with each other and Candomble initiation, give an hour long presentation on qualia in Candomble, and write a paper on the ways discourses of race have affected representations of Candomble, as well as find somebody to sublet my room for the summer.

becoming an anthropologist: Going quantitative?

http://becomingananthropologist.blogspot.com/2007/01/going-quantitative.html

This blog is about me and my life somewhere between bahia, chicago and helsinki. January 23, 2007. Still I do wonder what a quantitative anthropology would look like. Probably not anything like this hilarious "the root of all eval" equation a friend of mine just indulged me with. But how can you quantify social values? Posted by Elina at 9:03 AM.

becoming an anthropologist: Appealing to public sentiment through billboards

http://becomingananthropologist.blogspot.com/2006/10/appealing-to-public-sentiment-through.html

This blog is about me and my life somewhere between bahia, chicago and helsinki. October 21, 2006. Appealing to public sentiment through billboards. I was just reading the news on the Indymedia site, and found an interesting news article on it about how Aracruz, a multinational cellulose company, has resorted to different forms of media to get locals on their side against attempts to designate an 11 thousand area of land indigenous lands. What is that makes someone a representative of a particular group?

becoming an anthropologist: Shaming the aggressor

http://becomingananthropologist.blogspot.com/2006/08/shaming-aggressor.html

This blog is about me and my life somewhere between bahia, chicago and helsinki. August 10, 2006. This Monday President Lula signed a new law for the Enfrentimento da Violência Doméstica . The news papers here hail the law as a significant step forward in the fight against domestic violence directed at women. Before a man caught beating his wife could walk away from the situation with minimal repercussions. Typically he would only be required to provide her with the cesta básica. Chicago, United States.

It feels so good to be training again here. I am feeling my body in a different way again after having spent the last year in the library, sweet aching pains in my muscles that tell me I m getting strong. And my game seems to be improving too.

becoming an anthropologist: March 2006

http://becomingananthropologist.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

This blog is about me and my life somewhere between bahia, chicago and helsinki. March 27, 2006. Verbal virtuosity Southern Illinois style. Here are some souvenirs from our roadtrip down to the Americana of Southern Illinois, an anthropologist would really not need to go far here to find a fascinating field for studying religion and language. And if you settled in the local Cairo, Vienna, Atlanta or Nashville you could even fool your fellow anthropologists into thinking that you had left the Midwest.
