Friday Varia and Quick Hits
It’s been a while since I’ve offered some quick hits and varia here on the blogeroo, and since we probably all need a distraction this weekend, today seems like a good time to revive the tradition. In a cruel joke, these are the Halcyon days here in North Dakotaland with temperatures soars into the mid-30s and dogs and people alike are aching to to go outside, but the soggy, slushy, meltwater mess makes the reality less appealing than thermometer.
If you’re looking for a good read, go ahead and download your free copy of Eric Burin’s Picking the President: Understanding the Electoral College from The Digital Press at the University of North Dakota.
For people with a little more time on their hands (or in a more desperate need for distraction) check out the most recent episode of the Caraheard podcast featuring David Pettegrew!
A good day either way to stay inside and read some quick hits and varia.
“The Most Awkward Building in England” with citations to Punk Archaeology.
If you don’t read Neville Morley’s blog, Sphinx, you really should. This post on reading Trump through the lens of “Great Man” history is great.
Mapping and Teaching the Classical World and cartographic art.
Not much time left, but a call-for-papers for articles on counter archaeologies in World Archaeology.
Anyone want to read Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle this weekend?
Anthropologists are doing some of the most interesting things to mark their resistance to Trump’s presidency: a Foucault read-in is great and any opportunity to reflect of Geetz’s Balinese cock-fight is appreciated.
What I’m reading: Philip K. Dick, Man in the High Castle (1962).
What I’m listening to: the blues.
