"We operate onmany levels, waking and dreaming, as we make our way through a topic; but then we foreshorten the whole process in the service of a consistent, conclusive, voice or grenre. I wanted to resist that a bit." James Clifford in reference to his book Routes
"othering of the self...is only a partial challenge to the modern subject, for this othering also buttresses the self through romantic opposition, conserves the self through dialectical appropriation, extends the self through surrealist explorations, prolongs the self through post-structuralist troubling, and so on." Hal Foster from The Artist as Ethnographer
"We live in a time in which history is staged, made into a spectacle, and derealises reality - be it the Gulf War, the Chateaux of the Loire, or Niagra Falls." Marc Auge from An Ethnologist in Disneyland
