Book review: Reindeer People – Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia

Published on March 28, 2005 by lorenz Posted in anthropology in the news, Asia, books, culture traditions, indigenous people / minorities

Ronald Hutton, Times Online

Piers Vitebsky is one of a tiny number of British experts on the region and an internationally renowned anthropologist. This book “REINDEER PEOPLE: Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia” is the record of successive visits that he has made over the past 17 years to live with members of a native people called the Eveny in the Verkhoyansk Mountains in the far north-east. Like his earlier work, it shows him to be both an excellent scholar and a gifted writer, with a feeling for landscape and character and a knack for metaphor and allusion. >> continue

Vom Sambesi bis zum Kap der Guten Hoffnung, vom Atlantik bis zum Indischen Ozean erstreckte sich einst das Reich der Buschleute in Afrika. Europäische Kolonisten, die vor 350 Jahren an Südafrikas Küsten landeten, hielten die Buschleute für eine Bedrohung ihrer Viehherden. Man behandelte sie wie Ungeziefer und tötete unzählige von ihnen. Bald siechten die Buschleute an den Rändern der Gesellschaft dahin. >> weiter

The emerging field of commercial ethnography

Published on March 23, 2005 by lorenz Posted in anthropology in the news, applied anthropology, corporate & business anthropology

SFweekly

Since October 2004 Jesse Kipp has been working at a top San Francisco advertising firm, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, where he operates simultaneously as an anthropologist, a market research assistant, and a documentarian. Kipp is the company’s answer to a burgeoning industrywide research movement called “commercial ethnography.”

The documentaries themselves are highly stylized romps into the inner lives of target audience members — everyone from football fans bitching about a cable outage during the big game to the unguarded talk of Lisa and Amanda, which will be used to inform a new advertising campaign for Britney Spears’ perfume, Curious. In the end, the agency uses the films both to woo new clients and to better understand and craft ad messages. >> continue

Iselin Frydenlund, religionshistoriker og forsker ved Institutt for fredsforskning (PRIO) har skrevet en lengre artikkel om emnet. Etter opphold i et konfliktfylt Sri Lanka, belyser hun utfordringer med feltarbeid i konfliktområder, med et spesielt fokus på det å være norsk i en gitt politisk kontekst. >> les mer
