The Alan Macfarlane Interviews

Anthropology is no longer done in exotic places. Today we can do it over the Internet. And what better group to study than the anthropologists....

Art

What is the best way to understand art? Make it yourself!.... It is the purist's view, though not wholly wrong; the most insightful critics those who have the artist's touch, the alphabet their palette. Here, I throw a few daubs onto the canvas.


History

A page for waifs and strays.


Plays

Politics

Once a political junkie, I went into rehab. Never felt better….
