Some academic texts are dense and cannot be simplified for the average lay person because they're not meant to appeal to the average lay person. Some academic texts are dense because the academic author is trying to gatekeep and be pretentious and snooty. And some academic texts are dense because the author is an awful fucking writer. You'll encounter this last one a lot.

peak of comedy when keating was encouraging the boys to rip the introduction by J. eVans pRitChaRd PhD, and said "it's not the bible you're not going to hell for this" and cameron silently replied "I might"

What's the anthropological evidence for endogenic plurality? (I already believe it exists btw I just like research.)

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I’m always seriously thrilled to get to stretch my anthropologist bones.

The anthropological evidence lies in experiences of multiplicity throughout the world! Historically, this has usually taken the form of some type of belief in possession and/or trance state.

One of the earliest publications noting possessive states across a large variety of cultures was TK Oesterrich’s Die Besessenheit (1921), which you can read on the internet archive translated into English here. (Note: contains very racist, degrading language)

There are even works on autopsies performed in order to seek out physical evidence of the “witches” possessing people (Evans-Pritchard, 1937).

Most notably, the work of anthropologist Erika Eichorn Bourguignon delves deep into the world of ritually sanctioned dissociation, trance, and possession, especially among Haitian people. She notes that culturally accepted dissociation in the form of multiplicity “provides the self with an alternate set of roles… in which unfulfilled desires, ‘unrealistic’ in the context of the workaday world, get a second chance at fulfillment” (Bourguignon, Spirit Possession, 57).

She explicitly outlines the non-traumagenic nature of possession trance, noting this perfectly normalized form of plurality as “based on a conception of the human person as consisting of multiple separate elements, body and soul (or multiple souls)” and notes that multiplicity often empowers the individual. (A Companion to Psychological Anthropology, 376).

Just a few of the many cultures that have observed endogenic plurality in the past and/or currently are the Azande people of Africa, the Havasupai of North America, the Jivaro of South America, Jewish folk practitioners especially in Eastern Europe and Ethiopia… and of course, the most well-known examples of possession in the western world come from Christianity.

TLDR Denying the existence of endogenic systems is fundamentally racist, erasing hundreds, if not thousands, of years of evidence of non-traumagenic plurality.

Thanks so much for letting me infodump!

top 10 richard cameron moments i guess

man door hand hook car door

him being second to join the new dead poets society right after charlie when neil asks whos in

i love the clarinet

his and charlies relationship is really something like cameron really was following charlie everywhere the whole time acting like he didn't want to (he did) (i'm totally not reading too much into everything he does for a tumblr post (i am))

he really was just trying to keep all the poets safe like i know he did the wrong thing in the end but like. he joined the poets knowing how dangerous it was and the whole time he was pointing out the things that could go wrong and warning them about specific things and they all told him he could just not join and he did anyway and maybe i'm just reading too much into it but like. he could've stayed home. and he didn't.

when keating was whispering "carpe diem" to them and he looked at keating like wtf are you doing cause honestly he was right for that

him graphing dr. j. evans pritchard's graph with a ruler

when knox was talking about chris and he was like. damn that sucks. let me help you with trig.

"where did you get that???" about the magazine charlie brings "what are you guys doing????" about neil and todd running around their dorm

the walking exercise what keating had to say about how he was overthinking how to walk cause that was relatable

Hopkins

a case study

(isn’t this a wonderful screenshot)

I love Hopkins sm for no real reason but he had a character arc that I love

With this analysis I am assuming three things:

Cool Guy ™️

Rich parents

Gives zero shits about school

ok starting with the third one bc idgaf

we get this from one of the first shots we see of him, when Neil is reading the j Evans Pritchard crap, and it pans across the classroom and he is staring off into the void, retaining absolutely none of what Neil is saying, which leads me to the conclusion that he really doesn’t care that much about school.

similarly he didn’t care about what grade he would get for writing the poem badly, which leads me to my second point

his parents are probably rich as hell, and he has made it his life goal to disappoint them in every way possible, in true Keefe Sencen fashion (hopefully his parents aren’t that bad tho lol). he takes pride in doing badly because it makes his parents mad, and he thinks that it is cool, which brings me to my third point

he is kinda the Cool Guy of the school, or at least one of them, and his whole thing is “too cool for school” and all that shit, specifically when they went outside and read the lines and then kicked the soccer ball, and he did minimum effort and kinda thought he was stupid. this is the first time we really notice that he’s “too cool” to try hard and then in the next class we see it again with him writing an AMAZING poem in my personal opinion, but it isn’t super deep or well thought out, and he doesn’t seem to give a shit and takes pride in it being not great, but THEN

Mr Keating does his magic. he might be slightly disappointed, but he is more supportive than anything, encouraging Hopkins to work harder and not make his work “ordinary” and in that moment Hopkins makes this face

he is disappointed in himself for not meeting Mr Keating’s expectations (that sounds super aggressive but idk how else to phrase it) and this is where we see the character development

and then at the end he stands on his desk and idk how to describe the expression on his face but it is exactly the expression I would expect him to make considering his and Mr K’s relationship

so this was the character analysis absolutely nobody asked for and is probably half wrong but who cares 👍

Summary: “I’m eight.” The kid sniffs as if eight was any different from four, maybe not an unspeakable horror then, just a regular horror. “And I heard that the Magnus Institute deals with-” his little nose scrunches, cute. “-spooky things.” “Do you have a-” He cracks a grin, and then rethinks it as small hands tighten against their burden.”-spooky thing to deliver?�� Gods he hopes not, it’s bad enough when adults walk in and lay out all of their baggage, but for a child- “There’s a spider in this book.” The kid says solemnly, raising his textbook sized parcel. “It ate Evan Pritchard.” a bloody fucking Leitner. Of course an eight year old would find a murder spider book. “This seemed like the best place to bring it.”

I’m so jealous of my friends it’s insane

We’re in different classes and a few terms ago we did a poetry unit. I was excited initially, but the first slideshow was dead boring and literally called Understanding Poetry

So I eMail a friend to make a joke about Professor J. Evans Pritchard and it turns out instead of doing that slideshow, their teacher (who mainly teaches drama, I love him) SHOWED THEM A COUPLE SCENES FROM DPS AND MADE THEM STAND UP ON THEIR DESKS

GODDAMMIT
