students are just now receiving the spring schedules; registration begins Nov.
8.  Mik and I will be available for advising beginning Nov.     1.Future
newsletters will have more info on these anthro classes as I receive it
from the instructors.  Quickly, we have several interesting and new courses:

Bob Mucci: “Food and Culture” ANTH E400, A200 (title omitted from bulletin), SOC
S362, with optional restaurant visits field trips under two A210 section
numbers, one set of trips to Chicago and one to NW Indiana.  Course will
consider dozens of topics on the anthropology of food, from ethnicity to food in
history to diet and human origins.

Mik Stokely: E200, E400, S362, “Intermediate Cultural Anthropology” a course
that bridges the gap between the intro course and next fall's A360 history and
theory of anthro course.
Mik also is doing E108, WOST W401, E300, S362 “Native American Women” (the
middle two numbers are both Group IIIC humanities credit).

Kathy Forgey: Forensic Anthropology B400, B250; this is a serious, hands on the
human bones, science credit course in profiling the individual from skeletal and
dental remains.

CAUTION: when registering, be careful what numbers you register for for each course; not all numbers carry the same distribution credit, and topics course numbers can be taken only TWICE each, you get zero credit the third time (topics numbers are A200, E400, B400, B250, E300, E108, SOS S362).  This should not restrict anyone from taking a course, just be sure to use the right number for you; email me if you have a problem.


2)  Here is information about the October 31 meeting of the Chicago
Archaeological Society and the presentation on People of the Andes.
                   People of the Andes—from Wari to Inca
Chicago, IL—Oct. 2004.  Peru, the Andes, the Incas—and more—will be addressed at
the October 31, Chicago Archaeological Society (CAS) meeting.
Ms. Robin Coleman will address the Chicago Archaeological Society at its October
31 meeting at the Evanston Public Library, Community Room, 1703 Orrington
Avenue, Evanston.
 Ms. Robin Coleman, October CAS speaker, has spent the past four years
excavating at Cerro Baul, an Andes mountaintop city perched 8,000 ft. above sea
level. This archaeological site in Peru was the religious and cultural site of
the Wari Empire, an Andean people who pre-date the Incas by hundreds of years.
The Wari inhabited Cerro Baul between 600-1000 AD, but like the Incas, the Wari
culture also disappeared.  Ms. Coleman will introduce her topic by providing an
overview of complex societies in the Andes.  She will focus on the Incas and
conclude with a vision of the people of the Andes today.  The Wari and Inca
cultures left no written or oral history about themselves, the only
documentation is from the Spanish following their conquest of the area.
Therefore, Ms. Coleman will comment on the relevance of archaeology in helping
piece together an understanding of Andean prehistory.  Robin Coleman is working
on a PhD in Anthropology at Northwestern University.  She has an MA in
Anthropology and a BA in Archaeology with a minor in Spanish.   She has worked
at Cerro Baul with Dr. Patrick Ryan Williams, Assistant Curator of Anthropology
and South American Archaeology at the Field Museum in Chicago.    In addition to
her talk at the Chicago Archaeological Society, she will conduct a seminar on a
similar topic at the Field Museum in conjunction with the Machu Picchu exhibit
open Oct. 15, 2004 - Feb. 13, 2005.  Ms. Coleman will address the Chicago
Archaeological Society at its October 31 meeting at the Evanston Public Library,
Community Room, 1703 Orrington Avenue, Evanston.  Coffee is available at 3 pm
and the presentation is at 3:30 pm.  There is no charge to attend the meeting.

4)  Friday, October 29, 12-1:30 pm, Room 140c, Harris School of Public Policy
Studies
Presenter: David Grazian, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology,
University of Pennsylvania
Topic: "The Production of Popular Music as a Confidence Game: The Case of the
Chicago Blues"
In this article, Grazian argues that the production of live music shares many
formal properties with that of confidence games: specifically, (1) a set of
structural relationships in which operators, ropers, insiders, accomplices and
marks are enmeshed, (2) the deployment of carefully planned strategies of
deception, and (3) a pattern of success owed in part to the moral and financial
motivations of insiders, the willingness of the state to assist in the
enterprise, and the desire among victims to be swayed by the production. Drawing
on ethnographic research conducted in some of Chicago's most popular blues
clubs, Grazian examines these three components of live music production qua
confidence game. He also briefly discusses how one group of participants—local
blues musicians—reacts to their own performances as musicians/confidence
artists. Finally, the paper concludes by exploring the broader implications this
case suggests regarding other types of live music production.
ABOUT DAVID GRAZIAN: David Grazian is assistant professor of sociology at the
University of Pennsylvania, and the author of Blue Chicago: The Search for
Authenticity in Urban Blues Clubs (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003).
He received his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago in 2000. His
research and teaching interests include the study of mass media and popular
culture, urban sociology, symbolic interaction, and ethnographic methods. His
current research examines the production and consumption of urban nightlife in
Philadelphia.

“ROOMS”
The Theatre School is pleased to participate in Chicago's first
annual Playing French Festival. Largely a record of the
author's experiences growing up in an industrial French
suburb where most residents are employed by a Peugeot
factory, this contemporary play features six characters each
telling their stories alone in a room. Using experimental
language — a language without grammar and vocal rests —
Minyana probes the depths of individual insecurity with a
deftness that is ironic, entertaining and highly provocative.

Authors Club Alex Kotlowitz
Alex Kotlowitz - Never a City So Real
The acclaimed author of There Are No Children Here takes us
into the heart of Chicago in his new book Never a City So
Real by introducing us to some of the city's most interesting, if
not always celebrated, people. Chicago is on of Americas
most iconic, historic and fascinating cities, as well as a major
travel destination. For Kotlowitz, an accidental Chicagoan, it is
the perfect perch from which to peer into Americas heart. Its a
place, as one historian has said, of messy vitalities, a stew of
contradictions: coarse yet gentle, idealistic yet restrained,
grappling with its promise, alternately sure and unsure of
itself. Chicago, like America, is kind of refuge for outsiders.
Kotlowitz is drawn to the people on the outside that are trying
to clan up or at least make sense of the mess on the inside.
Perspective doesn't come easy if you're standing in the center.
Never a City So Real is not so much a tour of a place as a
chronicle of its soul, its lifeblood. It is a tour of the people of
Chicago, who have been the authors guides into this city's and
in a broader sense, this country's heart.
Sponsored by the University of Illinois Alumni Association and
the Union League Club of Chicago

Asian American Studies Talk Oct 28th
"Crossed Paths: Making the Modern Chinese American
Subject Through Human Measurement. A Great Depression
Episode."
Thursday, Oct. 28th 3:00 p.m. CCC #713
Presented by Victor Jew, Visiting Scholar, University of
Wisconsin, Madison
In the mid 1930's, anthropologists at Stanford and the
University of California, Berkeley encouraged the pursuit of a
large scale human measurement project to be conducted in
San Francisco's Chinatown. With funding from California's
State Emergency Relief Administration and the federal Works
Progress Administration, two local Chinese Americans
supervised the collection of human growth data that measured
2,900 adults and 300 children. This presentation will examine
this largely forgotten and unstudied event as an instance of
subject-making, identity formation, and the politics of applied
science.
Victor Jew is an Asian American Historian who has published
several articles and given numerous presentations on Chinese
American history, with a particular interest in Asian Americans
in the Midwest. He has taught a variety of Asian American
history courses at University of Wisconsin, Madison, Michigan
State University, and Cornell University including: Asian
American legal and Constitutional History; Comparing the
Racializations of African Americans and Asian Americans in
the 19th Century; and The Midwest and New Regions of
Asian American Formations. Victor Jew received his B. A. in
U.S. history from the University of California, Los Angeles,
and his Ph. D. from the University of Wisconsin Madison.
Refreshments will be available.
Co-sponsored by the Chancellor's Committee on the Status of
Asian Americans and the Asian American Culture and
Resource Center.

Movies about the life of Neruda
Join the Latino Cultural Center in a celebration of the magical poetry of Pablo
Neruda of Chile. Neruda, who is considered by many as the unending poetry of
Chile and the Latin American continent, is a legacy in poems and the music of
the Andes. Not only a poet, but a diplomat, consul, ambassador, and 1971 Nobel
Literature Prize winner, Nerudas life was full of powerful words and magnificent
accomplishments. Once called the Picasso of poetry, Nerudas politically and
emotionally charged poems sing of his personal struggle with tradition and
vanguard change. The breathless, exhortative quality of his early love poetry,
as well as the rebellious and somewhat romantic trajectory of his life, exile,
love affairs and political struggle are some of the many things that have drawn
people from all over the world to his work.
The Latino Cultural Center and the Guild Complex continue to celebrate the life
and poetry of Chilean poet. On Wednesday, October 27th the organizations will be
showing two documentaries on this amazing poets life and work. One of the
feature presentations is Closer to Blood. A captivating story of the poets life
and prodigious work, set against the backdrop of the country that inspired him.
Readings from his massive oeuvre amply demonstrate his sincere commitment to the
Communist Party and his abiding love for the natural world. Described by
Federico Garca Lorca as a writer "closer to death than to philosophy, closer to
grief than to intellect, closer to blood than to ink," Pablo Neruda stands as
Chiles greatest poet.
The second feature will be Let Me Sing to You. Franklin Caicedo has applied his
remarkable talents to create a one-man show that movingly evokes the spirit of
Chiles greatest poet, Pablo Neruda. In this classic program, Caicedo is filmed
onstage, with students in a park, and at a variety of other venues as he
dramatically recites "The Words," "Not Only Fire," "I Like You When You Are
Silent," "Self-Portrait," "The Question," The Dead Woman," "Farewell," "Saddest
Poem," "Letter on My Travels," and other selections from Nerudas oeuvre.
Come join us for an intriguing and intimate look into the life of this amazing poet!
When: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 at 7:30pm Where:Chopin Theatre 1543 W.
Division Chicago, IL 60622

Authors Club Sheri Fink
Sheri Fink "War Hospital: A True Story of Surgery and
Survival"
A young physician-reporter chronicles the experiences of the
doctors and nurses in a besieged city, illuminating the
passions, challenges, tragedies and agonizing moral
quandaries of practicing medicine in a war zone.
In April 1992, a handful of young physicians, not one of them
a surgeon, was trapped along with 50,000 men, women and
children in the embattled enclave of Srebrenica,
Bosnia-Herzegovina. There the doctors faced the most
intense professional, ethical and personal predicaments of
their lives. Drawing on interviews, documents, and recorded
materials she collected over 4 years, doctor and journalist
Sheri Fink tells the harrowing and enlightening story of these
physicians and the three who try to help them: an idealistic
internist from Doctors Without Borders, an aspiring Bosnian
surgeon and a Serb doctor.
Sheri Fink has worked with humanitarian aid organizations in
conflict and disaster zones around the world. She received her
M.D. and Ph.D. from Stanford University.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The fourth issue of Brújula, "Working Gender: Cultural Representations of Women
and Labor" aims to bring together research that engages with and analyzes the
condition of women as they participate in work. Studies of work include but are
not limited to paid, unpaid, intellectual, creative, physical, formal or
informal, legal or illegal endeavors. We will consider
papers from a variety of disciplines that explore and problematize the changing
definitions of women and their labors in Latin American societies from
pre-colonial to contemporary times.
