hey folks,
at the college I attend, we spend junior and senior year researching and writing a thesis (we call it "plan"). I am writing an ethnography of contemporary punk counterculture in the U.S., taking photographs of punks, writing a fictional ethnography of a group in the future, and situating it all historically with a paper about bohemians in the early 1900's and hippies in the 1960's and 70's.
So, I'm interested in: ficitonal ethnographies, ethnographies of countercultures (particularly bohemians, hippies, and punks), and any other thing you think might be relevant. I have, of course, read Dick Hebdige, but for the most part what I have is original research I've conducted, and it would be great to have inspiration and/or footnotes from some other ethnographers or theorists.
thanks,
Georgios

The gender gap in computer science may have been widened by Star Trek, a new study suggests — but it could be bridged with a less geeky image.

New research published in the December Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests that the stereotype of computer scientists as unwashed nerds may be partially responsible for the dearth of women in the field, as shown by National Science Foundation statistics.

“What this research shows is that the image of computer science — this geeky, masculine image — can make women feel like they don’t belong,” says lead author Sapna Cheryan of the University of Washington.

Hey, so this time I'm focusing on two different stories related to two different characters. For one story, I'm trying to figure out Hiei's family history, and for the other Kurama finds himself a litter of orphaned fox kits.

( And Kurama... )

Feel free to add my journal.

This is a story I started working on while listening to Last of the Wilds by Nightwish. It is about faeries.

I would like feedback. Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes. I do not always catch them all.

I've been doing a lot of reading recently and it's made me very anxious to try and start writing again. I really enjoy. and would be looking to write some thing mythology/fantasy based, but the more I research the more I feel like everything has been done. Or, at least that there's a definite pattern in what stories/characters get used. Vampires would be the best example.

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or knew of any useful resources/places to look that might help me think and possibly widen my options? Grateful wouldn't even cover my response if so.

It's gonna be Christmas soon, and for Indonesian (especially those who live in the city), it means a chance to take a photo in the mall with some dancing teddy bears.

So my questions are:
1)What does this indicate?
2)Is it happening in other country?

This is my first post on any kind of community site. I hope this goes alright.

Title: A Wild Song
Word Count: 386
Rating: G
Summary: Play me. Play me a song rich and deep. The violin. The violin wanted her to play its song...

(Suddenly the stage with the light cast on her vanished, and her hands and her mind played a melody atop a broken tower...)

На Мальдивах практически на всех сайтах бывает 3 вида течения: правильное, неправильное и никакое. Количество увиденного при этом обычно находится в пропорции 100:10:1. В этот раз течение было неправильным - исходящем из атолла через канал. Тем не менее, нам повезло - внутри стенок канала мы встретили стаю весьма упитанных серых рифовых акул, а на внешней стенке атолла нас ждал бонус в виде манты.

Okay fellow Anthro Enthusiasts- it is winter break for me and I need some mental stimulation. I'm a senior of Anthro and Classics at the University of South Florida and lean towards archaeology and cultural the most. I already have Patterns of Culture and The Chrysanthemum and the Sword (Benedict) as some reading material, but any other suggestions? What was your favorite ethnography or anthropological work? I'd love to force my anthropological brain to work a bit over this 4 week break, so any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks so much!

So, I have a story in my heart (don't we all). But as I sat down to start it out I felt like I was pacing the story too quickly, I've put what I've written so far in the cut but it isn't much about three paragraphs. I didn't want to continue until I got some feedback about the pace, the content, all that jazz. So please, check it out!
