Opening Anthropology: An interview with Keith Hart (Part 3 of 3) | Savage Minds - 0 views

  •  
    An interesting interview for considering the relationship between anthropology and the digital revolution. There is some genuinely creative thought here on what anthropology needs to do to engage with the current and to remain (or become again) relevant.

  • I have discussed what happened next, at least for Britain, in “How my generation let down our students [5]”. The watershed of the 1970s culminated in the neoliberal counter-revolution that saw Reagan and Thatcher come to power. Competitive pseudo-markets based academic assessment on so-called “objective” indicators, especially research publications. Bureaucracies became more interventionist along with the wholesale corporatization of university culture. What was left of academic community was destroyed by the growing gap between a few established professors who took leave often and a reserve army of precarious young teachers. The publishing oligopoly exhausted library budgets with their over-priced journals, while the academics competed for the status of getting published in them. Everyone agrees that the contents are worthless and are not read. Faced with the challenge of the internet, most academics did their utmost to maintain the system of feudal private property that has now overwhelmed the universities.

    If you're interested in issues of social equality, debt, finance, etc -- AND the internet, you might like to read this long review of David Graeber's book "Debt: The Last 5,000 years". If you follow Hart here, the internet offers something much greater than just a means of communication -- it could offer a necessary element in creating new, more "human" forms of social interaction.
