AV tools for teaching intro to ling anth (esp. films, youtubes, etc)

[Alejandro Paz]

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to one and all for the wonderful suggestions! I'm making my way 
through them all, and I've talked to Alex Enkerli about compiling a list 
for the SLA site, with some searchable tags.

Another one of my favorites, btw, to talk about Bakhtin's points of 
re-voicing and interdiscursivity is to use the Soprano's episode 2, "46 
Long," where Tony first discusses getting his mother into a retirement 
home with his shrink and then in a later scene, tries to use that same 
therapeutic voice (as if his own) to speak to his mother, without much 
success.

Cheers,
Alejandro
