Paul Sr.: Anthropology is a means of reproducting the “Orient” for the Western observer!“ (see Said 1979) Paul Jr.: There is still valuable knowledge to be gleaned from classic ethnographies and our encounters with those encounters (Jackson 2017) Paul Sr.: Knowledge which is inseparable from the power dynamic producing it! Paul Jr.: We can decolonize anthropology! Or work with interlocuteors to mend problems of representation. Paul Sr.: "Decolonization” without changes in material conditions is liberal politics serving only the colonizer (Coulthard 2014, Tuck & Yang 2012)

Hey guys, have a sec to offer up those opinions no one else will listen to anymore? Why not put them to good use?! ^-^

Hi everyone!

For my final project in Anthropology, I’m doing research on the K-Pop fan community! As a part of my study, I’m conducting a general survey on experiences within it. I’m trying to get as many responses as I can right now, so please pass this along to others!

Hello!! Can you recommend any articles or lectures on demographic anthropology.

Hi! When it comes to studying demographics within anthropology, I’ve personally found that a lot of the most useful materials and insights are tucked inside more focused research within social science. So it might be better to look into Demography and how it is regularly applied in anthropological work/research. But, that being said, here are a few places to start if you’re looking for a basic intro: An Introduction to Anthropological Demography (Bernardi, 2007) published by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (PDF link) Demographic Anthropology (DeWitte, 2017) published by the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (link to Wiley) Anthropological Demography Syllabus for a 2016 University of Florida class by professor Chuan-Kang Shih (PDF) Demographic Anthropology (Howell, 1986) (Annual Reviews link; a more philosophical review of demography in social sciences; I believe Howell is often considered an OG in this specific area) Demographic Studies in Anthropology (Baker, Sanders, 1972) (JSTOR link; Annual Review link here) What kind of theory for anthropological demography? (Johnson-Hanks, 2007) from Demographic Research journal by Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (PDF) The best stats you've ever seen | Hans Rosling (TED talk, link opens to Youtube; while not directly related, I’ve seen this specific talk used in lots of classes to demonstrate the impact of visual data, uses of statistics, and evolution of demography, so I thought I’d include it as well)

Horse humansonas are just regular humans except they bear-crawl everywhere and only stand when they’re upset (but have much stabler emotions, lol).

I think if Saharan silver ants had humansonas they would look like this:

You share it.

The ancient greeks really had graves for dogs. And they carved stuff on the stone like “carrying you here, I now feel as much grief as I felt joy when I carried you home” and “you never barked without reason, but now you are silent”. The human urge to tell a story spans centuries and millennia, and the loss of a really good dog makes you want to tell people - even people centuries in the future, who will never know your name - that there once was a dog who was a very good girl, but now she no longer is and you aren’t sure what to do with all this sorrow.

Worldbuilders naming towns: I named this town Elygwe’meth which means “Where the Dearly Beloved King died next to his Lover” in the language I invented and also a combination of the Old English word for diamonds and the Maori word for apples since that’s their main exports

People in real life naming towns: I named this town Big Falls cause big fall there
