the dissertation breakdown. | La Vie en Rouge
https://anamericaninmancunia.wordpress.com/2012/08/03/the-dissertation-breakdown
La Vie en Rouge. A lot of people have asked what my dissertation is on. I’ve decided I might as well give an idea here. Rather than procrastinating, the more I talk about my dissertation, the more it actually helps me to sort through a minefield of research and concepts to create a clearer outline. I reckon in that sense, this post is actually a bit selfish! Which originated in the Pendle Hill area of Lancashire. A dissertation idea was born! What does this interest say about ourselves? I’m not wri...

on reverse culture shock. | La Vie en Rouge
https://anamericaninmancunia.wordpress.com/2012/09/25/on-reverse-culture-shock
La Vie en Rouge. On reverse culture shock. I’ve been back in the United States for about a week, and I’ve spent most of that time trying to “re-acclimate” myself to being here. The common phrase for this discomfort is “reverse culture shock,” but what it actually entails varies from person to person. What is reverse culture shock, after all? Just a bit of jet lag and subsequent depression upon leaving a place you had lived for a year? The uncertainty of starting life over again? Deconstructing. →. Create...

managing expectations. | La Vie en Rouge
https://anamericaninmancunia.wordpress.com/2012/11/16/managing-expectations
La Vie en Rouge. It’s no secret that I’m a little on the high-strung side when it comes to academics. I always have been. But then I sit back and think: wait a minute! I’m not giving myself enough credit. How many people go to graduate school to study a completely new subject to them? A lot of friends and family members were baffled when I told them I was going to school in the UK to study Social Anthropology. The usual reply was, “To study. It’s rude, and I don’t appreciate the sentiment beh...I donR...

the depression game. | La Vie en Rouge
https://anamericaninmancunia.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/the-depression-game
La Vie en Rouge. Um, so. I’m not exactly sure how to begin this post. Any time I see someone write really honestly and openly about their experiences with depression, I think to myself, “I wish I had the courage to write that.” And I suppose this is my attempt to fulfill that. It’s true that many of these feelings were “typical.” I felt low but I’d assumed I’d grow out of it, especially once I went away to college and got out of my hometown. I knew I was. But I didn’t think I had. Once you come to accept...

farewell, Manchester. | La Vie en Rouge
https://anamericaninmancunia.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/farewell-manchester
La Vie en Rouge. I’ve been putting off writing this post because I know there is no way that a few paragraphs will be able to encompass everything I want to say about my year living in Manchester. I came to this city looking for absolution, or at the very least something that would give my life meaning once again. Whether that something would be football or my master’s program I really didn’t know or care — all I wanted was a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Have I found it? You are commenting us...

deconstructing. | La Vie en Rouge
https://anamericaninmancunia.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/living-is-easy-with-eyes-closed
La Vie en Rouge. I recently read this excellent post. On the blog Living Anthropologically about what draws people to anthropology and what keeps them there. The author made the following observation: “Anthropology requires a basic respect for people and working with them, not just studying them. Looking for answers means being humble and open to this process.”. Asked — that re-examine systems and production of knowledge. What I always believed was. 8220;There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not ...
