New blog: "Open Anthropology" by Maximilian C. Forte

by lorenz on Nov 2, 2007 in anthropology (general), persons and theories, websites

Another new blog: Anthropologist Maximilian C. Forte has recently launched the blog Open Anthropology - “a project of decolonization, growing out of a discipline with a long history and a deep epistemological connection to colonialism":

OPEN ANTHROPOLOGY arises from a dissastisfaction with the state of knowledge in contemporary and classical anthropology, and is meant to significantly restructure and move anthropology beyond its current confines, beyond the constraints of professionalization and institutionalization, transcending the very “disciplinariness” of a discipline that has often foundered on its own shoals since its inception as “anthropology.”

Maximilian C. Forte is among others the editor of the open access journal KACIKE: The Journal of Caribbean Amerindian History and Anthropology, and writes also for the The CAC Review.
