Fredskorpset og tre FN-organisasjoner i Norge har innledet sin såkalte Tusenårskampanje med å kartlegge nordmenns forestillinger om tilstanden i utviklingsland. De er mye verre enn virkeligheten, går det frem av undersøkelsen som Aftenposten omtalte på verdens fattigdomsdag i går. >> les mer

Unge bliver sociale af at være på nettet, viser et studie fra Københavns Universitet. Og for en ung af i dag er deringen forskel på at leve i den digitale virkelighedeller den fysiske virkelighed. De er internettets indfødte og vil altid have en fordel fremfor deres forældregeneration.

»Timerne foran skærmen gør ikke de unge asociale – tværtimod. Børn har nu mulighed for at omgås jævnaldrende i et helt andet omfang end bare min generation havde,« siger 31-årige Christiane Vejlø, som netop har afsluttet sit specialestudie af unges medievaner på Københavns Universitet.

Lektor på institut for pædagogisk antropologi på Danmarks Pædagogiske Universitet Birgitte Holm Sørensen er leder af projektet »Medier og IT i læringsperspektiv«. Projektets resultater er fuldt på linje med Christiane Vejløs >> les mer

The Future of Anthropology: “We ought to build our own mass media”

Published on October 17, 2004 by lorenz Posted in anthropology (general), anthropology in the news, media, Open Access Anthropology and Knowledge Sharing

Maximilian C. Forte, University of Adelaide, published in Anthronews(2000)

Should anthropologists continue to behave as if Anthropology’s most important market consists of anthropologists themselves and their students? I believe that, beyond a very limited degree, this behaviour can be an impediment to the fullest realization of Anthropology’s potential.

We do not have to depend on the mass media to call on our expertise and bemoan every occasion that they fail to do so. We can become our own mass media — that is the freedom and independence offered by these new technologies.

We should aim to place ourselves on the same footing as any of the better cable television broadcast networks, via the Internet. We could produce our own documentaries and news reports, an Anthropology-focused “open university,” present the expertise of noted anthropologists, and have all of our willing fieldworkers act as “correspondents.” Wide international coverage and multi-lingual programming should be relatively easy for us. Our own audiences would see and hear us both on regular computers and on WebTV >> continue

The Anthropologist as Barman – Durham Anthropology Journal fulltext online

Published on October 17, 2004 by lorenz Posted in anthropology in the news, culture traditions, Europe, fieldwork / methods, journal articles / papers, music, Open Access Anthropology and Knowledge Sharing, tourism

Adam R. Kaul, Durham Anthropology Journal

My doctoral research looks at the way in which tourism is changing and interacting with the performance and meaning of traditional Irish music. I carried out over 14 months of fieldwork in a small, rural Irish village of under 600 people, called Doolin, in northwest County Clare.

Anthropologists and sociologists are relatively new to the field of tourism, but I would argue we have some powerful qualitative tools at our disposal that can contribute to a much richer understanding of tourists and tourist destinations. This is true not just for tourist populations, but for other mobile or shifting groups like asylum seekers or economic migrants.

We need to start discussing the everyday realities of doing fieldwork, the potential problems and opportunities, in much more detail in the literature, and how they might be used as units of analysis in and of themselves. >> continue
