"Note taking encompasses witnessing, drawing, writing, and diagrammatic thinking; it is speculative, manifests a preliminary moment, a passage, and acts as a memory aid.

With contributions by authors from a range of disciplines, such as art, science, philosophy and psychology, anthropology, economic- and political theory, language- and literature studies, as well as poetry, 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts constitutes a space of dOCUMENTA (13) to explore how thinking emerges and lies at the heart of re-imagining the world. In its cumulative nature, this publication project is a continuous articulation of the emphasis of dOCUMENTA (13) on the propositional, underlining the flexible mental moves to generate space for the possible. Thoughts, unlike statements, are always variations: this is the spirit in which these notebooks are proposed."

@r3x0r RT @AllanAnthro: For #anthropology using @SenteApp then I've got a pretty decent @AmericanAnthro style done

Der Podcast Talking Anthropology verfolgt seit 2009 das Ziel anthropologische Themen einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zu vermitteln. Dazu werden Gespräche zwischen Expert_innen und dem Moderator aufgezeichnet und im Internet frei zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Themenauswahl liegt ein breites Verständnis der Anthropologie zu Grunde. Theoretische Grundlagen und praktische Anwendungen werden genauso zum Thema gemacht, wie interessante Projekte oder aktuelle gesellschaftspolitische Ereignisse.

OPTIMISTS called the first world war "the war to end all wars". Philosopher George Santayana demurred. In its aftermath he declared: "Only the dead have seen the end of war". History has proved him right, of course. What's more, today virtually nobody believes that humankind will ever transcend the violence and bloodshed of warfare. I know this because for years I have conducted numerous surveys asking people if they think war is inevitable. Whether male or female, liberal or conservative, old or young, most people believe it is. For example, when I asked students at my university "Will humans ever stop fighting wars?" more than 90 per cent answered "No". Many justified their assertion by adding that war is "part of human nature" or "in our genes". But is it really?

It is hard to imagine a more interesting (to me) series. How we are responding to the digital world. Available as a podcast.
