Altered States of Consciousness
Hesiod, Virgil, and the Georgic Tradition
Hesiod’s Works and Days had its greatest influence on English poetry through the Georgics. While Hesiod’s early translators into English—Chapman in 1618, Cooke in 1728, and Elton in 1815—were primarily interested in Hesiod as a theological and moral thinker, it was Virgil’s focus on an essentially problematic relation of the human and nature, as seen in the role of labor and the relation of farming to war and politics, that persisted in the Engli…

Choric communication
This essay analyzes choric communication‐speaking, singing, or moving in unison‐from a Bakhtinian perspective, using a performance by a Togolese women's musical organization as a case study. The role choric communication plays in collectively organizing experience is examined. Instrumental use of choric communication is traced back to its Platonic roots. I claim that choric communication is intensely enculturing and can be used either in the serv…
Virgil as Orpheus
God and the land
Intersections of eros and ethnography
This paper argues that making love is a form of shared cultural knowledge, and explores how researcher‐authors might speak and write about this shared knowing. Specifically, it examines how knowledge may be generated, and subsequently represented, when a researcher and informant have a sexual encounter in the context of fieldwork. Exemplars, fiction and nonfiction, are examined as possible strategies for representing this shared knowledge
The Drama of Hesiod's Farm
The music of the voyager interstellar record
An experiment in applied communication at the margins, approximately 90 minutes of music was selected from cultures around the world by Carl Sagan and his associates and placed aboard the two Voyager spacecraft in 1977. Both spacecraft have now reached the outer edges of our solar system and are heading toward deep space. This gift of music and other information about us has only the slimmest chance of ever being retrieved by extraterrestrialsy—t…
