Ther PNG blogosphere is actually pretty active although I have to admit that I don’t follow it as much as I should. Two new recent blogs by anthropologists working on PNG are worth noting, however — “Politics of Nature”:http://politicsofnature.wordpress.com/ by Jamon Halvaksz and “The Melanesian”:http://themelanesian.org/ by Andrew Moutu. Jamon’s has been around for a year [...]
I have always known, deep in my heart, that John Burton had the heart and soul of a blogger. But his recent blog, despite the occasional entry that is “incomprehensible”:http://rspas.anu.edu.au/blogs/rmap/2007/10/29/frightenstein-drives-stake-into-sinking-atolls/#more-529 (at least to those of us who are not aging commonwealthers) are “furniture chewing”:http://rspas.anu.edu.au/blogs/rmap/2007/10/26/cross-cultural-misunderstanding-and-4wds/ at “its very best”:http://rspas.anu.edu.au/blogs/rmap/2007/10/31/hacks-move-decimal-point-again/.
“Eriberto ‘Fuji’ Lozada”:http://www.davidson.edu/personal/erlozada/ looks like someone doing interesting work in China. But then again thinking about working in China is terrifying since there is no end to the people and writings out there.

But now it also features one of my favorite anthropologists — Paige West — talking about gold mining! Go Paige go! One quick note however: Paige says that “When [...]
I normally don’t go out of my way to point out Lorenz Khazaleh’s great “anthropology.info”:http://www.antropologi.info/blog/anthropology/ website because I assume by now that everyone already knows about it and is reading it along with me. Howevever, at the start of the new year I thought I would make an exception in this case and second Oneman’s [...]
“John Norvell”:http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~norvell/ has thrown his hat into the ring with “anthroblogs.org”:http://www.anthroblogs.org/, an MT install with a few blogs on them, including “his own”:http://www.anthroblogs.org/norvell/ and a “group blog”:http://www.anthroblogs.org/anthroblogblog of which he seems so far to be the only contributor. There is also a “wiki”:http://www.anthrowiki.org/ on anthropology which at the moment is more or less empty. This [...]
