Introduction

[Alexandre Enkerli]

Will also miss the meeting but can use this occasion.

Ph.D. candidate in ethnomusicology at Indiana University (have been in 
the “last throes” for a while). Native French-speaking Montrealer of 
French-Swiss origin and with affinal ties to Acadian French. Currently 
teaching cultural anthro. at Bridgewater State and African studies at 
Tufts. Taught linguistic anthro. at Indiana University South Bend and 
Université de Montréal. Focusing on music and language in praise-songs 
by/for hunters in Mali. Been using a combination of approaches from 
symbolic anthro., ethnomusicology, sensorial anthro., ethnopoetics, 
semiotics, folklore, and sociolinguistics.

Do report on the linguistic anthro. components of the meeting. If we're 
to take over the world, we might know where we stand.
