One more aboard for AnthroBlogs
Hi Everyone! I'm Daniel Alegrett, 28, an anthropology student from the Universidad Central de Venezuela, in Caracas, Venezuela, and John has signed me up to blog in http://www.anthroblogs.org/antropologia/, which will be called something like Antropología or Antropología in Babilonia ;-). This blog's postings probably will be mostly in Spanish, hoping it can contribute to some socio- or linguodiversity in such a fine project as a community of anthropologists-bloggers. I'll be posting first some old class short essays on local archaeology just to test the blog's possibilities, and then move on to some other things, according to my own interests and bits and bites that we (for 'we' I mean probably my wife and I) think might interest you.
In case you wonder, I've mostly followed my School's curriculum on linguistic anthropology (but that doesn't mean I'll be an anthropolinguist), and my wife has mostly followed archaeology (and she probably will be an archaeologist). I'm into sociology and anthropology of knowledge, have worked on Indigenous issues, had an introduction to an Indigenous language, and trying to develop some research on the anthropology of the body (am I a trend-follower?), still loosely trying to orient it to (ethno-) ontology and ethics. I'm quite fuzzy and confused about it, but I like the idea, whatever it turns out to be. My wife Ananda Lakshmi, 22, is working out a thesis on ethno-archaeology of space, on somewhat phenomenological stances.

Welcome to the community. That's great that your posts will be in Spanish because I've been meaning to brush up. Only a few months old and AnthroBlogs has already gone international!

Wow. You two will have not only academic but also personal reasons to dispute my over-the-top comparison of "four field anthropology" to a really bad marriage! You'll keep us posted on how it works out, I hope -- not the real marriage, necessarily, but the inter-discplinary one ;-)
