  12. #Anthropologists of the #Fediverse, I'm looking for a good book about an ethnographic research. I'm looking for something engaging that can give me an idea on how you write a good ethnography, as I'm struggling to properly organise the narrative on my own research.
    Something inspiring and engaging will do, cultural/social anthropology is what I'm mostly interested in.
    Suggest your favourite books in the reply.

  17. Make Korra Great Again: My Journey Through Ethnography, Deconstruction, and Redemption

    Korra is an Arctic Indigenous female character set in a fantasy universe centered around an East Asian cultural sphere. The core principles behind this character, regardless of how adequately they were handled or how often they were neglected, are her Indigenous background, her internal conflict between traditionalism and modernity, and her role as a potential unifying figure among major East Asian-inspired world powers. Korra’s erratic and explosive personality is, in fact, her most distinct and authentic trait, the element that allows the character to truly stand out in this kind of setting. Korra does not require a “deconstruction” that removes her Season 1 foundation, the main season that slightly, just slightly, captured the strength of her core personality. Nor does she need to be reassembled into a subdued figure in order to accommodate the perceived burden of the Avatar role. She definitely does not need post-modern western socio-political agenda indoctrinated into her design. Alas, the execution of Korra’s character in the flagship follow-up to The Last Airbender is almost poetically tragic. There is something deeply ironic, and quietly, beautifully sad, in the way such a character, placed within such a rich and successful setting, effectively handed to the creators on a golden plate, ends up reaching such a low result. Perhaps this is part of why I find Korra so compelling to explore, hoping that one day things would change. "When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change."
