The Fast and the Furious

Wednesday night I had received a tip from Eric Altman of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society. The report was coming from an area about 2 hours away from me and he couldn’t get to it and asked if I wanted to take it over. I said heck yeah and I called the witness with the number Eric provided.

The witness claimed he was out in the field walking his dogs when the dogs became frightened and bolted back to the house. He saw a large ape-faced beast pacing back and forth just behind the pines that …

Journalism In A Pr World, Michael I. Niman Ph.D.

Michael I Niman Ph.D.

Mike Niman discusses the future of journalism in a PR-dominated communication environment. In particular, he examines the migration of talent from journalism to the PR industry, the collapse of mainstream journalism and the role of an emergent alternative media as American journalism goes through metamorphosis from what it was to what it could become. Journalism is a social good that should equip people to understand and resist spin. Niman argues that mainstream American journalism, rather than rising to this challenge, has transparently succumbed to serving as an arm of the corporate PR industry, thus laying the groundwork for its own …

Corn Is Our Blood: Culture And Ethnic Identity In A Contemporary Aztec Indian Village., Alan Sandstrom

Alan R. Sandstrom

This book [first published in 1991 by University of Oklahoma Press] discusses dynamics of culture and ethnic identity among Nahua Indians who claim a direct ethnic descent from the ancient Aztecs of Mexico. It shows that the Nahua exhibit linguistic and cultural features that distinguish them from many other ethnic groups of modern Mexico, despite many years of Spanish conquest and a series of government attempts to incorporate them into the dominant Mestizo culture. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the author identifies two broad local and national processes that accounted for this continuity. One of these concerns participation in traditional …

Palestinian Refugees, The Nation, And The Shifting Political Landscape, Randa Farah

Randa R Farah Dr.

This article briefly examines the historical causes that led to the uprooting of the Palestinians in 1948, who today represent one of the longest and largest refugee situations in contemporary history. It then draws on field research on refugees in Jordan to trace some of the pertinent political and ideological shifts since the Palestinian Nakba. Its emphasis is on refugee camps, approached here as palimpsests refracting different historical periods, which for the purpose of this article are divided into: the Nasserite period in the 1950s and early 1960s, the heyday of the Palestinian national liberation movement, beginning in the mid-1960s, …

“Co-Creating Heritage Landscapes: A Rancièrian Approach To Urban Historic Centers In Late Socialist Cuba.”, Matthew Hill, Maki Tanaka

Matthew J. Hill

Recent anthropological studies of cultural heritage have moved beyond enduring binary approaches (e.g. heritage vs. history, memory vs. counter-memory, or global vs. local) by highlighting the performativity, inventiveness and multiplicity of heritage processes. Yet one-party states like Cuba present cases where the analysis of multiplicity is not as straightforward as suggested by these studies. This is due to the disciplinary nature of the state-directed and tourism-oriented, heritage-making projects that blind us to other types of heritage practices. In such contexts, applying a topographical inquiry championed by the French philosopher Jacques Rancière to analyses of heritage can recuperate multiplicity by leveling …
