Bateson, Gregory. “Physical Thinking and Social Problems”; Science , New Series, Vol.
103, No. 2686 (Jun. 21, 1946) , pp. 717-718
This study explores how physical and social sciences are very much need in
helping to fix mass human problems. As well the author talks about how social
scientist are the ones shorthanded most of the time and don’t reap as many benefits
as other sciences like biologists or chemist. This helps when looking at an
anthropological profession in a realistic way.
Barkin, Gareth, and Glenn Stone. "Anthropology: Blurring the Lines and Moving the
CameraŠThe Beginnings of Web-Based Scholarship in Anthropology." Social Science
Computer Review, 18.2 (2000): 125-131.
This article is interesting in that it looks at how anthropology can use
differnet outlets to transform its boundaries in the world as well as how this
information is taken in by the public. This is good information to know because the
web is an important tool to utilize when wanting to transfer information.
Beeman, William O. "Media Anthropology: Informing Global Citizens. Susan Allen."
American Anthropologist, 97.3 (1995): 593.
This group of essays looks at how the mass circulation media affects the
public. Looking at how the knowledge is transferred to the public and how much it
takes to get knowledge out to the public to access. The author of one of the essays
also explains the concern with anthropological work and getting it out to mass
circulation magazines. This is important to my career because I need to know how
to market my work.
Boyer, Dominic. "Turner's Anthropology of Media and Its Legacies." Critique of
Anthropology, 26.1 (2006): 47-60.
This article talks about Turners ethnographic importance in the field of
research in the anthropology of media. This article talks about some of his works
such as the Kayapo Video Project and how big it was and looked at anthropology as
well as the social aspects over a broad scale. His work explored how human
production always contains historical excess within itself. I would to one day, let my
work speak to masses the way Turner’s did.
Cannell, Fenella. "The Christianity of Anthropology." Journal of the Royal
Anthropological Institute, 11.2 (2005): 335-356.
This is a critique article looking at how anthropology has construed
Christianity. It says that anthropology has removed them from Christianity all
together because it doesn’t tie into the way in which the social sciences are different
from the viewpoints of Christianity logic.
Earle K. Timothy, Robert W. Preucel, “Processual Archaeology and the Radical
Critique”; Current Anthropology Vol. 28, No. 4 ,pp. 501-538.Aug. - Oct., 1987
This article explores other approaches that coincide with Marxist
archaeology, it talks about how radical archaeology is invalid and how behavioral
archaeology needs to be examined and used; mainly stemming from behavior
geography, this in part is where processual archaeology comes from. It explains
marixst archaeology in this essences and how both need to look at how space and
geography look at human behavior.
Featherstone, Liza "The New Student Movement," The Nation, May 15, 2000.
This article argues the anti-sweatshop side. It was written to raise awareness
against companies such as Nike, Apple, and the Gap. It also defines sweatshops and
globalizations. This article can help with looking at sweatshops and globalization
separately as well looking at the negative impacts of sweatshops. This is very
important to the culture an development of the world.
Lassiter, Luke Eric. "Collaborative Ethnography and Public Anthropology." Current
Anthropology, 46.1 (2005): 83-106.
This article talks about the collaboration of ethnographies from researchers
and how collections of these can are good when sharing learned information to the
public. As well this talks about how important it is to showcase your ethnographic
works, which I believe is important for any anthropologist.
Martinez, Elizabeth. "Sweatshops, Firsthand." The Nation, 273.16 (2001): 30-33.
This article summarizes the writings of Miriam Ching Yoon an immigrant worker
who see’s sweatshops as a global factory. This can help draw facts to how
sweatshops are indeed global factories for producing mass material for
corporations. This can show the money hungry negative aspect of sweatshops and
help me gain an aspect into how money influences and drives people to do what
they do.
Matthews N. Christopher, “Public Dialectics: Marxist Reflection in Archaeology”;
Historical Archaeology, 39(4):26–44; 2005
This article the author talks about the dimensions of Marxist archaeology,
and how it goes up against recent reflexive archaeology. He also explains how some
parts of Marxist archaeology are flawed in the ways it records the archaeological
record by leaving out social impact. He also discusses the social construction of
archaeology, “myth-busting” in the archaeology (going against history), and in the
end he talks about decolonizing archaeology.
Mayer, Robert. "Sweatshops, Exploitation, and Moral Responsibility." Journal of
Social Philosophy, 38.4 (2007): 605-619.
This peer-reviewed article looks at the moral responsibility of sweatshop
exploitation. It looks at the owners of sweatshops and their morals in regards to
how they treat their children. It also shows the conditions of sweatshop workers.
This can help in showing the argument against sweatshops, and help to gain more
cultural understandings of people aspects and views in exploiting others.
McCormick, Ty. "Anthropology of an Idea Gamification." Foreign Policy, 201 (2013):
26.
This article is about gamification and how its becoming more widely known
and can revolutionize anything. It is said to project in the future to help with
education and providing different platforms for it to be accessible. This is important
for the future and how society and culture shift to this new trend of potential
learning, as well as how big corporations take advantage of this.
McQuail, Denis. “Sociology of Mass Communication”; Annual Review of Sociology ,
Vol. 11, (1985) , pp. 93-111
This annual review looks at the sociology of mass communication, its good to
look at subjects from different aspects and mind frames. Sociology is a good subject
to know when studying things from an anthropological standpoint and using studies
that interchange between humanistic and scientific approaches.
Morell, Virginia, “Anthropology: Nature-Culture Battleground”,
Science , New Series, Vol. 261, No. 5129 (Sep. 24, 1993) , pp. 1798+1801-1802
This is an article looking at how today the four subfields of anthropology are
becoming more broken apart in the American Anthropology Association. It’s looking
at how most anthropologists in university departments only have 28% faculty in all
four. This is making problems because the biological is seeing things in a more
molecular biological point of view and the cultural side is seen through a more
cultural deconstructionist viewpoint. This is breaking anthropology more apart than
together if there is always going to be argument about theory and who’s right and
who’s wrong.
Rothstein, Richard. "Defending Sweatshops." Dissent, 52.2 (2005): 41.
This article is about the humanitarian Nicholas Kristof who defends sweatshops. He
argues that these shops are the best alternative for poor women and children. This
article can show how sweatshops might be a good thing; as well it can help
represent the defending sweatshops side and development of cultures, which goes
along with what I’ m trying to study in anthropology.

This is an editorial on the problems associated with tourism in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. It talks about how the role of tourism can help the economy there as
well explains the description of anthropology of tourism. I’ am interested somewhat
in tourism and how it can help nations that need to develop their economy.
Shankland, David. "Putting The Science Back In." Anthropology Today Apr. 2001: 1.
Academic Search Premier. Web. 16 Feb. 2014.
This article provides an insight into the profession of anthropology as well it
explores why anthropology is often more times that not rejected as a science. As
well the author gives a explanation of the discipline of anthropology to those that
don’t know anthropology is as well as its methods.
Shennan, Stephen, “Comparative Anthropology and Human Inequality”, Current
Anthropology, Vol. 51, No. 1 (February 2010), pp. 115-116
These papers look at how it is important for anthropologists to remember
long-term goals for their work in anthropology. As well speaking on economic
equality and how it’s important in today’s society. The studies that anthropologists
undertake should have a underlying long term goal, as well as looking at what
humans of today see wealth and importance of today.
Shirley Ardener, The Social Anthropology of Women and Feminist Anthropology
Anthropology Today , Vol. 1, No. 5 (Oct., 1985) , pp. 24-26
This article looks at how social anthropologists tend to avoid the subjective trends
of the notion of ‘personal anthropology’ among other similar feminine trends in
anthropology and how these certain fields are stereotyped towards women. As well
it talks about how social anthropologists sometimes say they don’t study women but
study the people of a said culture.
Spier, H.,Robert F. G., “Women In Anthropology”, McIlvaine Parsons, Science, New
Series, Vol. 220, No. 4597 (May 6, 1983), p. 554
This is a reflective on how women are underrepresented in the anthropology
field. The author does as well mention that biological sciences, physical sciences,
and mathematics and underrepresented as well. Also the author goes on to explain
how some women made into male dominated fields.
Spitulnik, Debra. "Anthropology and Mass Media." Annual Review of Anthropology,
22 (1993): 293-315.
This article looks at theoretical developments on how the nature of media
development, media power, media language, and the mass communication process
and how media affects society as well as how it shapes us. This goes with what I
want to accomplish with my career in anthropology and that’s looking at how
different cultural facets affect human behavior, and media is very big in conditioning
us to think certain ways.
Spriggs, Matthew “Marxist Perspectives in Archaeology”;
American anthropologist [0002-7294] Ames, Kenneth vol:87 iss:2 pg:453 -45; 1985
This article was the first widely available article about Marxist archaeology;
it discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the theory. It explains the Marxist
perspective from a non-biased standpoint then say an author from a processual
would write. It also shows the paradigms in press publishings of certain
anthropological work. It’s an older piece so it will give a good perspective from the
past.
Stern, Gary M. "Alberto Muñoz: From Sweatshops to USC Law." The Hispanic Outlook
in Higher Education, 22.6 (2011): 32.
This peer-reviewed article is about a man named Alberto Munoz an immigrant from
Mexico, he had to work in sweatshops every summer since age 12 till he graduated
from high school. He then attended college and went to law school. This Article can
go on the side that sweatshops helped him survive when he was trying to get
through his youth as an immigrant in America as well as help look at immigration
and trying to create a life for you in an anthropological context.
Trigger G. Bruce, “Marxism in Contemporary Western Archaeology”, Archaeological
Method and Theory; Springer, Vol. 5, pp. 159-200; 1993
This is a three-volume history and critique of Marxist Archaeology. The first
section discuses the history of Marxism and how it transcended into archaeology, its
founding fathers are also discussed. The second part of the article explores what
Marxism means to neo-Marxism archaeologist. The third section discusses the
issues and contradictions with Marxism archaeology. I like how the author
organizes the subject and lets you ease into the difficult topic. In the end he gives his
own opinion and his stance on it.
Varenne, Hervé. "Culture, Education, Anthropology." Anthropology & Education
Quarterly, 39.4 (2008): 356-368.
This article is an argument on how education must be analyzed in such how
people educate themselves without the direction or implication of schooling that the
government has set upon us. This helps look at how cultural forms shape the
education system and striving to something different. Along with looking at
anthropology in the media I as well would like to look at development in society and
cultures.
Weakland, John H. "Anthropology, Psychiatry, and Communication." American
Anthropologist, 71.5 (1969): 880-888.
This is an article looking at how anthropology has been central to developing
concepts of communication in underlying factors that contribute to understanding
the communication conception that anthropology has to offer in behaviors within
social systems in such as psychiatry.
Wilhite, Harold. "Why Energy Needs Anthropology." Anthropology Today, 21.3
(2005): 1-2.
This is a different article looking at how anthropologists can help in the
energy field; seeing that it is a field that many anthropologists have yet to delve into,
it can be something that can benefit both sides. The author states that
anthropologists haven’t been paying enough attention to what’s a big issue in most
of the world and that’s energy consumption. This can be a potential area for me to
go into.
Will, Rea. "Anthropology: 1." The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory, 12.10
(2004): 1.
This article talks about anthropology studying anthropology. It discusses
anthropological reflexivity and how the knowledge of anthropology is contained. As
well it discusses how anthropology reflexivity is to help justify the position of
anthropology in the institutional context.
Zwolinski, Matt. "Sweatshops, Choice, and Exploitation." Business Ethics Quarterly,
17.4 (2007): 689-727.
This peer-reviewed paper argues that sweatshop workers who chose to work in
these conditions and do it based on their living situation. This can help by
understanding why workers chose to work in such poor conditions. It can help with
my argument of showing both sides of the situation.

International Journal of Business Anthropology, 3(1), 11-14. 2012.
This is an editorial looking at the term career anthropologist and how it is a
mix between people who occupy positions such as the traditional academic
researcher, the business teacher, the private consultant practitioner, technical staff
and other members of the business milieu. It also goes into detail of how clients
don’t really know where to place anthropologists in the workplace.
