AAA 2012 Panel Idea

[Nathaniel Dumas]

Dear Colleagues,

Out of curiosity, is anyone planning a panel for the 2012 AAAs on the  
viral spread of videos "Sh*t X Says," with X being just about every  
group there is? I just received one from participants in my own  
ethnographic fieldsite of American Stuttering English speakers ("Sh*t  
Fluent People Say") and think perhaps linguistic anthropologists could  
have something interesting to say about this, coupled with insights  
from anthropology of the media, especially as it borders on our  
interests in recontextualization, citationality, and iterability. If  
interested, send me an email at ndumas at linguistics.ucsb.edu and we'll  
go from there.

Best,
Nate
