I knew you'd like this 😉

When I became president-elect, I ended political-statement writing by the AAA. Just saying, you know, “the State Department should do more about the war in Sudan” — I think that anthropological knowledge production is always nuancing things, and most members are not experts on the Sudan, so why are they signing on to a statement? Our 501(c)(3) mission is to promote anthropology, our scholarship, our members, academic departments, and academic freedom, so let’s stick to our mission when it comes to statements.

This Vanderbilt report—"written for high-level administrators rather than our colleagues"—is it activism or is it policy?

"How did we come to our conclusions? We don’t talk about that in the report very much—it’s a very high-level report written for high-level administrators rather than for our colleagues."

I have a personal collection of Weber talking shit about the USA in general and the Common Law in particular.

This reasoning is tied to the word, the word which is turned around and around, interpreted, and stretched in order to adapt it to varying needs, and, to the extent that one has to go beyond, recourse is had to "analogies" or technical fictions.

Once the patterns of contracts and actions, required by the practical
needs of interested parties, had been established with sufficient elasticity, the official law could preserve a highly archaic character and survive the greatest economic transformations without formal change. The archaic case analysis of the law of seisin, for example, which originally corresponded to the conditions of peasant tenure and manorial lordship of the Norman period, persisted to the very threshold of the present epoch with, what were from a theoretical point of view, often grotesque results in the American Middle West.

"Nowadays it is not the fashion to talk of authorities in this context. Instead we have experts."

I hate that our disgusting right wing candidate shares a name with this beautiful boy.

What is the concept used to describe when a new word takes over the meaning of a particular usage of a previous word?

For some reason I'm seeing see a bunch of Colombian maps today, so here is my contribution.

My favorite piece of counter-factual history involves Lionel Robbins accepting to lead the first ever World Bank mission (in Colombia), which *could* have led to a Chicago-style experiment in free-market economics.
