The purpose of this group is to have a peg in the OAC for people to share what they can do, or would suggest can be done to carry on the usefulness of having 5000 anthropologists linked (however protractedly). Essentially Occupy it in the sense of bringing more life and meaning to a space.See More

There has been a number of conversations highlighted on the OAC recently that could use the 'bush' treatment.
Salzmans weak points from a while back highlighted on the 'This week' section, I mean every sentence was…"
Abraham Heinemann replied to M Izabel's discussion Is Anthropology A Science?"@Larry: give or take some meaning, yes.
@M: your comment on how science works leads me to recommend some STS before further conversation; pickering, hacking, latour, schaffer, rabinow etc. in a nutshell refer to my initial bullet points.…"
Abraham Heinemann replied to M Izabel's discussion Is Anthropology A Science?"I said "I can read 'science' and 'anthropology' as categories that emphasise aspects of the following points differently and these are the common ones I find important:"
The ones in common are not necessarily the ones…"

John McCreery replied to Abraham Heinemann's discussion One crossover between the Graeberian and Latourian projects?"Ragnhild, it is a pleasure to engage with your thoughts. Already, in the first paragraph of your latest reply two points jump out and tickle me.
