interesting assignment
    #5253453 - 02/01/06 10:45 PM (18 years, 5 hours ago)

...in anthropology

"At the outset of the term, you are invited to email your TA a proposal for a short-term fieldwork project that you will conduct over the course of the semester. The idea should be to work through a setting easily available to you?on campus, in nearby sections of New York City, or through your pre-existing networks?where you find that the cultures and logics of that setting are not easily understood by all, not least possibly by yourself, and merit explanation."

so basically i have to choose an aspect of culture - examples given were elevator etiquette and tanning salons - that really, out of context, makes little to no sense. i'll be exploring it in depth throughout the semester through observations and interviews.

any ideas?

how about people holding doors for other people. you know do guys hold doors more often or women. which sex gets more doors held for them and also how attractiveness plays a role.

well, for elevator etiquette.....

people behave in a certain way in an elevator.
they try not to touch people around them. avoid eye contact. walk into the elevator then turn around and face the door.

I think ive got my idea- im going to write about sports memorablia and people's interest and sometimes obsession with the symbols and clothing of a group that they are not even part of. its really only a phenomenon of the last however many years that pro sports has been popular.

i think it will actually help that im not very much into sports, because i'll be able to talk to people from an outside perspective.

im not knocking sports fans, by the way. its just kind of about communities and why we join them and all that. actually, i wear my jets hat daily. no flames for that one, please.

i hope when it comes down to researching that some of you can possibly share your experience with the subject. thanks for the suggestions... im not a frequent poster but i am an almost daily reader and i've been helped greatly by you guys in the past.

peace

marc
