Why am I doing this? I am not so sure myself. I like to blog, I like to rant, I like to have an opinion. The last one is probably the most contrary to anthropologist theory but I cannot help it. I like to say: this is weird, or this is a good way to do it. I am not going to make excuses about it.
After all, I am not an anthropologist. Cultural Anthropology is my minor, in Germany – I am German. So playing anthropology is just something I like to do and talk about. I am not a great theorist, I do not know a lot about those great thinkers of this science (and believe me I would have liked to put “science” into quotation marks, here, because I am not even sure it is a science – you can stone me now). I like this to be a place to talk about what I see and what I think it means. I am currently in the U.S. and I like to observe things… but that does not mean that Americans are any more strange to me than Germans and I will continue this blog when I am back home. There are always things one can see, one can think about, judge… cultures are different and sometimes even the culture you come from can be quite a mystery.
For now, this is about America and New Orleans – and I am aware that New Orleans is not typical of America. It is also about college and university… it is about how I see the world.
I am a rather opinionated person and I am not necessarily nice but I also try to be polite and I hope you will grant me the same courtsy if you leave a comment. This said, enjoy the read.
