In one way this is just another viral video. In another, I would say it is a nice example of how emotions can be transferred via the web. It is an fake-interview via some skype-like software in which people are being pranked. At the end though, it shows very well how emotions might be carried not only within the video but also to the viewer.

Yes, and it's also a piece of viral marketing, showing how companies are getting better and better at using this format to elicit and manipulate emotions. Which is not to take anything away from the power of webcams to transfer emotions.

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.

Anita Sarkeesian reports about the insults, threats of death and rape she is getting for *planning* a series about the representation of women in video games. The video focuses on the women owned game studio Silicon Sisters and the blogger of the harassment collecting website Fat, Ugly or Slutty too.

Thanks for the link Luise. Yes, this is the case that came to mind for me when you mentioned sexism and harrassment amongst gamers. I was particularly shocked by the "game" that one lad created in which users could beat Sarkeesian's face bloody. When called on this he seemed unable to see the violence inherent in the act.

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.
