# esto va de antropología y universidad... [vía anthropologi.info], "Anthropologist observes native academics in their natural habitat"... noticia orignial en "News@Princeton"". novedoso? la universidad ya no es lo que era!!! :P

# y esto también va de "la universidad ya no es lo que era!!!" hoy en día no es más que un nido de rojos progres, relativistas, inmorales, nihilistas, blablabla!!! "Q&A: David Horowitx profiles the campus Left"" ("David Horowitz, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America! -2006-"), [también leído en Savage Minds: Notes and Query in Anthropology] a considerar...

"Horowitz considers nearly all of contemporary social theory to be “some version of Marxism,” including “feminism, post-structuralism, post-modernism.” Presumably there was a pre-Marxist golden age of cultural anthropology before it was “destroyed” by such theories. Since he hates post-structuralism I suppose that the structuralists were OK. But many of the early Marxist anthropologists structuralists, so presumably even structuralism is tainted and we need to go back even earlier … I wish Horowitz would write another book telling us which social theories are acceptable so that we all know what to teach!" "You can go to Guatemala and hang out with terrorists…"

# y esto también va de antropología... Cicile among the Parisians. magnífica bitácora sobre su trabajo de campo entre los parisinos de Cicile Fagerlid. (fascinante!!! estar en el momento oportuno y en el lugar adecuado... las últimas movilizaciones sociales acontecidas en Francia...)

-el proyecto- “Communities in the Making: Identity and Belonging in Postcolonial London and Paris” is following up my thesis “Beyond Ethnic Boundaries? British Asian Cosmopolitans”, which is based on one year of fieldwork among second generation British Asians in London. One of the main goals is to investigate into the dialectics between the life of individuals – belonging, identity formation, way of life and worldview – on the one hand, and (imagined) community, social integration and cosmologies on the other. Put differently: How are the boundaries of “Britishness”/”Frenchness”/”Norwegianness” widened as a result of “new” groups demanding the right to belong in their own ways? How do individuals participate in this widening of criteria for belonging through production of cultural expressions like music, film and literature as well as through their ways of life? And finally, how does this widening affect the lives of individuals? These relations – between macro and micro level of society – can only be explored satisfactorily through an empirically based study of particular individuals’ lives, which I will carry out in a multiethnic environment in Paris from summer 2005 and onwards".
