    ethnomusicology readings

    yes and the ethnomusicologist (Hugo Zemp) acted like he had permission to record songs and release them to the world. And lots of musicians act like they have permission to make use of things they hear and encounter in music. And lots of scholars, journalists, fans, and marketing executives...

    Anthropology - breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Savageminds (a rather interesting anthro blog) criticized both of Diamonds books. http://savageminds.org/ Crooked Timber's take on it: http://crookedtimber.org/2009/05/19/diamonds-vengeance/ I'm rather more sympathetic to Savageminds' critiques than the CT people are, as well.
