Huntingtons hvite korstog

Published on July 14, 2004 by lorenz Posted in bøker, Kultur tradisjon kunnskap, sosialantropologi i Norge, Sverige og Danmark, vi og de andre

Den amerikanske statsviteren Huntington er på krigsstien igjen. Også denne gang forkledd som sosialantropolog. Hovedtesen i boka er at USAs identitet de siste 20-30-årene har gått i oppløsning. Den hvite britisk-protestantiske kulturen har blitt utfordret og erstattet av en multikulturell identitet. Skal det bli noen ordning på USA igjen, så må “amerikanere forplikte seg igjen til den anglo-protestantiske kulturen, tradisjonene og verdiene”, skriver han >> les mer

Riddu Riddu! Offline!

Published on July 13, 2004 by lorenz Posted in anthropology in the news, indigenous people / minorities, music, Saami

I’ll be offline for one week to attend the Saami Indigenous Festival “Riddu Riddu” in Northern Norway.

From the self-description:

“Northern guests of this year are the Inuit people from Nunavik in Canada and for the very first time we have the pleasure of introducing a people from the southern hemisphere: the Sanpeople from Botswana. At Riddu Riddu you can enjoy all the beautiful cultural impressions and experience a modern indigenous atmosphere with artists from Canada, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Siberia – and from Kautokeino, Kåfjord, Tromsø and Oslo.”

New Maori party wins first seat in parliament

Published on July 12, 2004 by lorenz Posted in anthropology in the news, maori, Pacific Oceania, politics

The Independent

The party aims to be a new force in New Zealand politics, wooing Maori voters who have traditionally supported Labour. It has threatened to join forces with the centre-right National Party to oust Ms Clark’s Labour minority government in an election due to be held next year.

Legislation placing the seabed and foreshore under public control is opposed by Maoris, who say it will deprive them of traditional ownership of coastal areas. The government says it is intended to protect public access to beaches and fisheries while accommodating Maori customs such as gathering seafood on ancestral lands. The plan sparked the biggest Maori protest for decades, with 20,000 demonstrators cramming the grounds of parliament in Wellington in May.

Fabian Klenk hat an der Uni München eine Seminararbeit über “Feldforschung in Cyberia” geschrieben und hat sie soeben ins Netz gestellt. Sein Resumee:

“Da die Forschung, wie oben beschrieben, noch nicht allzuweit vorgedrungen ist, sind nun die Forscher gefragt, die Wirkungen des Internet und das Entstehen neuer Kulturen, eventuell auch das Ändern unseres Alltags, zu untersuchen. Dafür bietet die Ethnographie einige wertvolle Werkzeuge an.”

Botswana bushmen in legal fight

Published on July 12, 2004 by lorenz Posted in Africa, anthropology in the news, indigenous people / minorities, San-bushmen

BBC

A group of bushmen from Botswana who claim the government illegally evicted them from their ancestral lands have begun challenging the move in court. The Basarwa are recognised by many internationally as the indigenous people and claim a right to stay on their ancestral land. The BBC’s correspondent in the region, Alastair Leithead, describes the case as a historic one for the rights of bushmen in southern Africa. >>continue
