Östgöta Correspondenten

I medierna framställs fäder med invandrarbakgrund ofta som dominanta och förtryckande mot sina döttrar. Den bilden vill Layal Kasselias ändra på. Layal Kasselias studerar socialantropologi vid Linköpings universitet. Förra terminen bestämde hon sig för att skriva sin kandidatuppsats om invandrarpappors relation till sina döttrar. Det skrivs mycket om invandrarpappor men utan att de själva får komma till tals, menar Layal Kasselias. Hon är själv född i Damaskus i Syrien. >> les mer

Sveriges Radio

I Sverige har queerperspektivet anammats som ingen annanstans i världen – men också tämjts och blivit ofarligt. Det menar socialantropologen Don Kulick, som i dagarna ger ut forskningsantologin ”Queersverige”. Den innehåller queerteoretiska perspektiv på alltifrån dokusåpor till begravningar – men med fokus på svenska förhållanden. >> les og hør mer

Another great article on the Open Access philosophy, written by Shankar Iyer in the Financial Expressvia del.icio.us)

“The big question on everyone’s mind is, “Why would someone open source an idea that they obviously struggled to work so hard for?” Open sourcing your innovation to the community doesn’t imply bankruptcy. In fact, open sourcing an idea invites “immediate” attention and sparks community interest. And when this interest reaches the brim, the services and support opportunities that exist around that knowledge just explode, allowing the innovator to not just make money – but give birth to a whole new economy. (…) The very success of science in the last 2500 years has been due to the open publication and peer review of scientific results. (…) I am of the firm belief that money should never be made at the expense of restricting knowledge and innovation”

On the Roots of Ethnic Music: Identity and Global Romanticism – Open Access Musicology Journal

Published on August 10, 2005 by lorenz Posted in anthropology in the news, journal articles / papers, music

Tellef Kvifte, Popular Musicology Online

Folk music and popular music represent in many ways two distinct cultural spheres with few contact points. The ‘folk’ in the folk music tradition are a construct of the national romantic era, usually referring to peasants, living close to nature, while the folk of the ‘popular’ are more constructs of urban and modern society.

Given the fundamental differences in ideology one finds here, it may be surprising to find a strong alliance between the two groups. What I have in mind here is that of ‘world music’, ethno pop’, ‘ethnic wave’ or, as I call it, ‘global romanticism’. >> continue

PS: Popular Musicology Online publishes papers in fulltext online. It “is published exclusively online and is a free, un-funded academic resource available to scholarly and general public readerships with an interest in debates on popular music” and is edited by Stan Hawkins, Department of Musicology, University of Oslo, Norway.
