Thank you for the blog post! Very encouraging to see that the video presentations from the field are being appreciated. The best thing about the talk at VANDA is… well, actually two things: 1) You see the building activity in the background, which is a result of a super cautious attitude now adopted by local and central authorities towards impacts of climate change, and hazards such as avalanches and landslides. 2) There is Line N. Ylvisåker joining me in the presentation after a while, the author of a very interesting book Verda mi smeltar, where she tackles the issue of understanding, communicating and interpreting climate change, from the perspective of a journalist and a mother-of-two. I am fed up with hearing all the time that there is no indigenous population in Svalbard - all right, but there are people who claim the place is their home, they engage and they deserve to be taken into consideration when academics are publishing and communicating the results of their ethnographic research.

This subject is outside my area of expertise, so I’m asking for your advice. Is it appropriate to describe an item which used to be called ‘Primitive Art’ ‘Tribal Art’ instead? ‘Tribal Art’ seems to be the preferred term at present, but is there are better term? I would like to be accurate and communicatively effective in whatever terms I use, and this includes avoiding giving offence. Many thanks

Hi Siavash Kasra, thanks for pointing out this issue. I have updated the links now. The original site by Michael Wesch from 2011 does not exist anymore, but some of the videos are available either in the Internet Archive or on Youtube, see the links in the post. On his university page there are links to two new exciting sites by him https://anth101.com/ and http://life101.audio/ Will have to explore them more!
