Heads up anthro folks: Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" gets a discussion and review by the folks at If Books Could Kill. #anthrosky #anthropology
Watching the 2014 documentary 'Atari: Game Over' as part of our 'tech and society' week for my anthro theory class. Definitely a good film for thinking through the social meanings of and attachment to technology. Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyKw... #anthrosky

This is very cool, but also shocking to me that cacao drinking started in Amazonia when AFAIK no contemporary Amazonians drink it?
All I have ever seen or read: domesticated cacao 1) eaten as a fresh fruit, or 2) processed for sale, same for other Theobroma species like cupuaçú. #anthrosky
Mass Observation and David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs seem two interesting examples of crowd-sourced auto-anthropology. Are there others? Does social media allow any new possibilities here? #AnthroSky

Hello! I’m looking for rich ethnographies of the recent feminist movements in Latin America around abortion rights, femicides, and/or “buscadoras” and the disappeared. Can someone please help? Much obliged #anthrosky #anthro #socialscience #sociocultural #academicsky #academicchatter #acwri

Any ethnographers of "Cossackdom" here?
I'm wondering how this current @bellingcat.com description of Putin's use of Cossack identity to undermine Ukrainian identity and military resolve aligns with anthropological literature re: Cossacks?

Urgency in a polarized world

How do the dimensions of urgency shape societies, both as an analytical framework for crises and as a mode of action? We scrutinize the multiple meanings, mobilizations, and consequences of urgency.

100. Ways of Seeing: A New Museum Story for Planet Earth by Grace Ndiritu
Over the last decades, I have been fascinated by and engaged with the idea that objects are alive and, therefore, should be able to have a life of their own.

Just want to note: Part of what we're missing is *exactly* what we're all doing in this thread folks! Just sayin. #anthrosky
Teaching anthro theory this quarter. We're currently looking at the Boasian/Du Boisian response to 19th century scientific racism and THIS STUFF IS AS RELEVANT AS EVER. Also Lee Baker's 1998 work on Boas/Du Bois is always good to read. #anthrosky #anthropology
Now I'm here wondering if there's only a few of us 'olds' who even want this kind of thing?!! Any other thoughts about this? #anthrosky
What would it take to make #AnthroSky what #AnthroTwitter was?
Thoughts?
