now that my personal blog and taiwansoundscapes.org are two separate entities, i’ve had to think a bit about what the djhatfield.com blog can do. rather than making it a place in which i kvetch about this problem or the other, i thought that it might be interesting to introduce a new category or feature of this blog, which will be a weekly or bi-weekly discussion of a work in anthropology, ethnomusicology, or indigenous \/ native studies–with work and these disciplines defined very broadly. the idea, as i think of it, is to see if we can create a virtual symposium in which the post leads to a bit more discussion of a piece and its broader connections to large questions or contemporary problems.<\/p>\n
not believing that it would be best to begin with anything too contentious, my idea was to start with coulthard’s (2010) “place against empire.” here’s how it will work. i will post both my initial comments on the work and a link to a full text pdf. if you like, you can comment. what would be most amazing is if we could have the discussion in english and sinitic script, but i am not up to the task of translating one article a week on my schedule. what do you all think?<\/p>\n
