Document Summary
Wednesday, november 15, 2017 anthro 4400 nov 15 lecture notes on brightman"s article about brightman"s article. In a lot of ways brightman"s article was like a lawyer going through points. He was cross referencing something that came out of baudrillard called forget. Not simply forget culture pointing to something. In his article he"s pronouncing foucault dead (he actually died a couple months later) Declaring a certain kind of work is pass (foucault) Forget culture is meant to be ironic. Should we forget culture or did we forget culture. This is a contentious piece - in response to something. Meant to make a speci c point and be attering to itself. You can"t de ne the period of anthropology you are in until after its over. Within the talk of globalization there was a shift. Thought that it would mcdonalize and homogenize the world. Y2k sense that digital world was gonna end.
