Thank you, Aleksandra, and thank you for following me here all these years! You're absolutely right, it's the right place to get a greeting from you. I thought I spotted you in the audience on Friday, but afterward I forgot all about it. I have a couple of blog posts in the pipeline, in order finish the story and wrap up the blog, which I think it deserves. Afterward, I'm looking very much forward to get on with some other stuff, academic and other :-)

Thinking that the blog is the right place for gratulations! Gratulations, Cicilie! It was fun to attend your defence Friday and fun to follow your Paris-journey. Good luck with new projects, bigger and the tiny ones )

If I may add more as to cultural differences, in Norway when you communicate perphaps people value more the content of what people say not the form, and most of times it has to be short, concrete and direct without unuseful "decorations"..while in france and southern europe the form of communication, expressivity is everything! it is even part of communication, so your eyes do communicate, as much as the rest of your facial expressions, bodily postures, gestures, etc. while in norway this is to a much lesser degree so..
But only one question..what if u swap the roles? when men in Norway are called out "hot" by girls on the street noone thinks "oh, that's a light sexual harassment!", but on the opposite those men are supposed to play along the game, and possibly praise that girl's sexual emancipation, which is ok, but something doens't sound so equal there if you swap back the roles...

I definitely wanted to develop a simple note to be able to thank you for all of the magnificent hints you are sharing here. My time consuming internet investigation has at the end of the day been compensated with awesome facts and techniques to talk about with my great friends. I 'd suppose that most of us site visitors are very blessed to live in a notable network with very many perfect individuals with valuable guidelines. I feel very fortunate to have come across your entire web pages and look forward to really more cool minutes reading here. Thanks once more for a lot of things.

Alastair [Visitor] in response to: Ethnography under colonialism: what did Evans-Pritchard think of it all?

"A student alerted me to the fact that Evans-Pritchard lead African troops against the Italians in Eastern Africa during the WWII (Wikipedia). After seeing the French film Indigènes (see earlier blog post) on how the French colonial troops were treated during the war, I cannot but wonder how my predecessor treated his own soldiers."

Presumably one could do some documentary research on this, rather than speculate and imply.

That's a good one, Peterblu. It didn't take me long in front of the keyboard to remember what an important advice that is. Thank you!
