Introducing Savage Minds
by Alex
I am pleased to announce the launch of a new website entitled “Savage Minds”:http://savageminds.org/. It’s an anthropology group blog which I am a contributor to. I’m excited because the site looks great thanks to Kerim’s hard work (and yes, those _are_ pensée sauvage on the masthead) and the entries — which now number up to a grand total of five! — have so far been very impressive. And I’m not just saying that because almost half of them are by me. Really, I am looking forward to seeing Savage Minds grow, and I hope that in the future it will gain the wide readership it deserves. Please do “check it out”:http://savageminds.org/ if you’re interested.
If you’re not interested, and don’t care one wit about anthropology, and just want more Anne Kawharu fan fiction, then stay tuned here — now that I’m contributing professionally to Savage Minds, this blog will now revert to random recipes and lightsaber fighting.
Someday, perhaps, if I wish upon a star way up high and find my troubles way behind me, I too will achieve the distinction of being known as a savage pansy.
Yes, we had actually thought about this. Levi-Strauss originally wanted his book to be titled “Pansies for Thought” in English translation (after Ophelia). But something about the lavender background, the word pansy, the abbreviation S/M for the blog title… we just didn’t want to explain to everyone that it wasn’t a queer cultural studies blog.
