“In anthropology, which historically exists to 'give voice' to others, there is no greater taboo than self-revelation. The impetus of our discipline, with its roots in Western fantasies about barbaric others, has been to focus primarily on 'cultural' rather than 'individual' realities. The irony is that anthropology has always been rooted in an 'I' - understood as having a complex psychology and history - observing a 'we' that, until recently, was viewed as plural, ahistorical, and nonindividuated.” GivingHas BeensSelfRealityIndividualVoiceFantasyPsychologyGreaterFocusDisciplineUnderstoodRootsComplexesWesternIronyRevelationsRootedObservingTabooAnthropologyBarbaricImpetusSelf Revelation Book:The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart Source: The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart
“If you're a song writer, it's a bit different because you are expressing your own words, feelings, perspective. As an actor, you are doing your best to interpret and express the root of the character's perspective which have been established by the writer. There are parallels of performing.

“People who have been wronged will attempt to right the wrong; they would not be people if they didn't. They can rarely afford to be scrupulous about the means they will use.

“Subtly, in the little ways, joy has been leaking out of our lives. The small pleasures of the ordinary day seem almost contemptible, and glance off us lightly...Perhaps it's a good time to reconsider pleasure at its roots.
