"Well, that's a wrap as they say. Thanks again to Steven and to Nii Noy once more for bringing something new to the series and to everyone who participated."

A rare opportunity for conversation that inspires."
Steven Feld replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks Huon.
I've enjoyed following the questions and ideas and appreciate the chance to participate this way in OAC. I particularly appreciate your interest to bring both acoustemic approaches to ethnography as well as a multimedia…"
Steven Feld replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks John. A number of people are working on these kinds of issues. The CD/booklet/installation publication "Air Pressure" by Rupert Cox (Anthropology, Manchester) and Angus Carlisle (Sound, LCC) addresses this around Narita. Cox has…"

John McCreery replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"If I may be excused a tangential question, do either Stephen or Huon know of studies of cultural differences in the significance of (response to, reception of) noise level?
My mind drifts back to 1998 when our daughter talked my wife and I into…"
Steven Feld replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks Huon. Many people have weighed in on a politics of noise as a politics of presence and a politics of drowning out and a politics of talking back to being quiet and docile. Just think of those banging pots and pans in Istanbul square to those…"
Huon Wardle replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks again Steven. What strikes me there once more is the aspect of cosmopolitanism as subjective-collective change, where in this way we can recognise small incremental additions to the rhythm of life but also sudden bursts of subjective…"
John McCreery replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"That openness is essential for the struggling cosmopolitan. Without it he isn't cosmopolitan at all. He's parochial, stuck in the local world into which he was born."
Steven Feld replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks John.
Yes, I think it fair to say that Nii Noi characterizes himself, as I would characterize him, as a struggling cosmopolitan, struggling in the sense of vexed, reluctant, hopeful, watchful, suspicious, wondering, waiting, uneasy, OPEN to…"
John McCreery replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Stephen, I am looking forward to hearing you and Huon continue this conversation in regard to cosmopolitanism. Off the top of my head (I cannot claim to have read the relevant literature), I can think of at least four ways of being cosmopolitan.
1.…"
Steven Feld replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks Huon.
I want to first try to summarize very quickly what I think about the specificity of "cosmopolitanism" in writing Nii Noi's story in/through dialogic editing.
Living in the present with a profound sense of the multiple…"
Steven Feld replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks John. I'm struck by this:

Exactly as DeCerteau points out!

Huon Wardle replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks Steven for pulling together so many different strands of your enquiry.

John McCreery replied to Huon Wardle's discussion OACp Seminar with Steven Feld: Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra - Second Chorus, Blow Free"Thanks Stephen. One of the things that I have been thinking about is the relationship between large scale systems (technologies, institutions) and the serendipitous critical paths revealed by biographies.

Review of Colin Grant's Negro With a Hat.
If you work as I do on the anthropology of the Caribbean, then Marcus Garvey and Garveyism cast a long shadow. By any standards Garvey's legacy is worthy of reflection. Reading Colin Grant's fine biography gave me pause for thought regarding Garvey and also the excuse to put those thoughts into a review for the OAC. Garvey was the leader of the largest black internationalist movement that has ever existed, but a movement of a unique kind. Most of the internationalisms of the Twentieth…

Soda Drinkers of the World Unite
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/blogphotos/Blog_Cola_Large.gif
I came across this demographic today. People in the Mid-West and the North West of the United States drink 'pop'. People who live in the South drink 'coke' and people on the West and East coasts drink 'soda'. Never having spent much time in the U.S. myself I wondered what this might mean. Of course, we have Tocqueville's…

North of the Border: narcocorridos
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b01dvw70
This BBC radio documentary explores the narcocorrido (drug smuggling ballad) as a popular genre among Mexicans in the U.S. Denselow, the journalist points to the ambivalence of the the border in the Mexican imagination. He traces the background to 1848 when the U.S. effectively annexed half of the landmass of Mexico including California. Ballads of…

EF Schumacher's Small is Beautiful: another look.
A few days ago I read an article in the Observer saying that Britain's right wing prime minister, David Cameron, had based one of his core ideas - 'The Big Society' - on Ernst Shumacher's book Small is Beautiful (truthfully nobody knows if the BS is an 'idea' or even what it means). The newsmedia also informs us that the government is trying to change the academic research…

Hi Huon,
Thank you for your kind note - and for coming to Bergen. I sure learned a lot in what turned out to be two and a half rather intense days! We'll be in touch. Best, Kathinka

- Huon, I wrote Keith last night to say that I was taking a break from OAC. I was angry at what I see as the knee-jerk negativity of your responses to my posts in the "Missing the Exemplary" thread. Apparently the ways in which we perceive the world we inhabit and the scholarship that attempts to understand it are so different that there is no possibility of productive conversation based on generous reading. That's too bad. This morning I was tempted to shorten my break by Ken Routon's post on "facts." I hope that we can reach an agreement that I will stay out of threads in which you participate if you return the favor. We both have a lot to contribute to OAC but not, at least for a while, together.

Apologies for the request, which probably seemed rather peculiar. The thing is, I just wanted to ask you a question, and couldn't work out how to send it. Sorry about that. It was just a query about the OAC Press.
