fsnielsen.com - about this website This site is conceived, created, managed and maintained by Finn Sivert Nielsen. For comments, correspondence and complaints see my contact page. |
| The purpose of the site is to create a public space, into which I may put any idea or piece of information that I think might be of interest to someone else out there. Maybe it will have some kind of effect. The site is my soap-box, a collection of odds and ends, but also a source of useful ideas and systematically ordered information. |
| The site is experimental in several respects. It practices a kind of Open Source attitude to academic texts and materials. It messes around with form quite a lot, and attempts to make use of the various effects possible in html to create an interesting cyber-textual landscape. It also contains some perhaps unorthodox ideas. |
| The site is linked to two other web-sites I am engaged in: |
| anthrobase.com. A website I manage with Kari Helene Partapuoli. AnthroBase publishes non-copyrighted anthropological texts online for free. Its purpose is (a) to make a large, searchable volume of academic work freely available to anyone who wishes to download it (including less than well-funded students in the First, Second and Third World); and (b) to allow authors to spread their ideas and empirical findings to a global audience without going through the tedious and time-consuming process of translating, editing and true peer reviewing. |
| eceg pages. A cluster of online resources related to the anthropology of "East / Central Europe" (a region we define as including the entire area of the former Soviet Union and Mongolia), maintained by the East / Central Europe Research Group at the Institute of Anthropology in Copenhagen, Denmark. The site includes a closed, member area, and (for members) access to a mailing list. They also include the homepage of the Nordic and East / Central European Network of Qualitative Social Research (NECEN). |
