Hiya Prof!I was lurking through this semester's VA blogs, and came across this gem:"When such a ritual is demonstrated outside of its traditional context as so, understanding its original intent feels more academic than personally meotnigful.&quan;This blew me away! It was one of my favorite issues discussed in our VA class a year ago. What a quandary the visual anthropologist runs into when the interpretation of his or her dearly accumulated photos and videos becomes an act of dissection instead of appreciation.Please pass my praise along to Travis.Hope all is well with you!
