[Linganth] call to engage anthropologically with fiction

[Ilana Gershon]

Dear Colleagues,

CaMP Anthropology is hosting a series of anthropological reflections on 
the fiction  anthropologists enjoy, or enjoy hating.  Inspired by a 
recent blog series focusing on the television show Severance 
onExertions, we are asking for volunteers to write 800-1,000 word blog 
posts about a novel, film, television show, graphic novel, podcast, any 
form of fictional representation.  Analyses of adaptations are also 
welcome.  Steve Selka and I hope that this will be first and foremost an 
enjoyable exercise to write and read, but also we hope that perhaps this 
will be useful for teaching, given how often many of us use video clips 
in classes.

The format:

We are asking people to suggest or choose a work they would like to 
analyze for the CaMP blog. Once at least three people have signed up to 
discuss a piece of fiction, we will negotiate a deadline that adds as 
little stress as possible to people’s all too obligated lives.  When 
enough people sign up to discuss a particular text, they will form an 
editing circle – each person will edit two other pieces in the two weeks 
after the deadline. When all the edited and revised posts have been sent 
to CaMP anthropology –campsemiotics at gmail.com, we will post the three 
blogs posts over three weeks, one every Monday.

Please address any questions to Ilana Gershon – igershon at rice.edu and

And thank you for considering this experiment,

Ilana
