[Ethnocomm] e-seminar: a response from Tamar Katriel

[Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz]

First, of course, I want to add my thanks to David for organizing this
e-seminar, to Tamar for the initial and final statements framing the
conversation, and to everyone who participated.

Second, rather than picking up any of the threads mentioned to this point,
I want to ask the group to spend a little time thinking about what comes
next. As we are still at the beginning of figuring out how online
"conversations" of this sort can be retrieved, cited, etc., this should be
a good moment to ask about process, not in EC, but at a meta level, for
this conversation about EC. How does this conversation become more broadly
accessible, or was the goal to reach only those who have participated to
this point, whether through comments or reading the comments of others? I
guess what I am asking is what existing models others are aware of for
turning this discussion into a more "stable" form. Of course, anyone can
follow the thread on the listserve in future - but do people really do that
very often? I've seen all the comments on a topic turned into a PDF that
can be downloaded all at once, for example, which has the advantages of
preserving the conversational style, while making access a bit easier. In
fact, David sent me one such transcript as a model, when he invited me to
participate (a Ling-Ethnog e-seminar from 2015). So that's one possibility.
Of course, there's always the possibility of planning a conference panel on
a related topic, or preparing a publication (a journal special issue or a
book, I guess, since an article with all these authors might be a bit
difficult). That has the advantage of stability, but would take a lot of
time and effort, and loses the spontaneity of an online conversation. What
other ideas do others have, whether or not they have been tested previously?
