Comments on: RELATED LINKS http://zeroanthropology.net Turning and turning in the widening gyre | The falcon cannot hear the falconer | Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold | Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world | The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere | The ceremony of innocence is drowned | The best lack all conviction, while the worst | Are full of passionate intensity. -- W.B.

A letter that not only comes from the past, but that can jump medium and method of delivery, is something to be appreciated all by itself. Dr. Darrel is surely busy on assignment, we should not hold his inactivity on his blog against him. In any event, he is most likely working on Victorian time. Having said that, I think that both of you are far ahead of the rest of us, and you are probably the only two anthropologists that I take very seriously, as anthropologists. I am very touched by your visit and your message, and I look forward to the next communication. From a future that always looks worse than the past... Very best wishes, Dr. Maximilian C. Forte Dear Dr. Howe,

Howe Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:54:08 +0000 http://openanthropology.wordpress.com/?page_id=2027#comment-5764 Dear Maximilian Forte, My dear sir, I am most honored (and a little overwhelmed) to have my blogspot mentioned with such leaders in the field of Anthropology. There are some scholars who consider Temporal Anthropologists as little more than over qualified gofers, since we spend most of our time collecting artifacts and taking video in the past. Of course the Anthropologists and Historians never say this to our faces, since we are collecting all of this material for them because they can't. I must warn you, as much as I admire my fellow Temporal Anthropologist, Dr. Henry Darrel, I'm not sure I would recommend his blog to anyone. The man his notorious for not keeping up his blogsite. I have nagged him about it, but to no avail. If any of you require something brought back from the Victorian Age to the 27th century, please feel free to contact my office at the Faculty of History building at Cambridge, UK. Due to time constraints, I am not able to honor all requests, but I try to work in as many as I can. Thank you all for your understanding and patience. Sincerely, Dr. Wendell A. Howe Dear Maximilian Forte,

And, in any case, how does one categorize person or blog by an author who works in a sociology department, has a PhD in anthropology, and hangs out with geographers? Don't worry, if your not sure, neither am I - and I've had to face this for at least 7 years when asked "what do you do?" or "what is your field?"! (Still, all in all, I'm definintely most comfortable calling myself and "anthropologist" - since what I do is the study of people.)

Also, sometimes it depends on what I see when I visit a blog, as I might only read a batch of posts rather than do a complete reading. But what I did miss is that the blog author earned a PhD in anthropology, so by the kinds of criteria I use, it really does belong in the anthropology category. The only thing that doesn't change is that everything I list is what I very much recommend. Thanks very much for your visit and your comment.

Unfortunately, there is no anthropology in Singapore. So we work under the label 'sociologist' (but then, what is the difference, other than a Eurocentric notion of us-and-them, the West and the Rest, anthropology and 'others'... oh, the tyranny of labels). Nice blog, btw (i.e. OpenAnthropology). Socect Interesting to see Socect’s Weblog categorized as “other academic blogs” (in distinction from “anthropology blogs”).
