If you read the last post (which I dare say nobody has, since I just posted it), I suspect that you were either glad to have some non-anthropology content or confused that my blog seems to be morphing into a car-repair site.
The thing is, fixing an old truck can be anthropology, too. If anyone asks, I can write up a long, detailed, theoretical think-piece on this idea.
TL; DR:
- “stuff”–the material world around us–is chock-full of culture, and vice-versa.
- Anthropology isn’t just about studying culture–it is also about doing stuff with stuff.
- As Wesley Crusher aptly noted, “…space and time and thought… aren’t the separate things they appear to be…”
