Resolved Question: Could there be an indigenous race of people yet undiscovered by the rest of the world?

Is it possible that there is a small undiscovered tribe of people, perhaps in the Amazon Rainforest, utterly cut off from all other races of humans, who have never seen or met any other human than those in their own tribe? A race of people who have never supped the nectar of Coca-Cola, and don't appear on Facebook? I once watched a documentary of a tribe barely known to civilization, living a fully sustainable life in the Amazon. One of the tribe members was invited to a major city in the USA (New York? I forget now). As you can imagine, he was fairly startled to see the huge cityscape and concrete jungles, electricity, clothing habits and strange etiquette. But the one thing he was most amazed by was the not anything built by man or by his customs, but by a visit to the zoo, encountering animals from across the globe he had never encountered before. That was the biggest revelation for him. Well, I've been rambling. Anthropology section, I'd love to hear your thoughts.Brooker&me: LOL. You're a meany.KYLE S - good info. Thanks. SHIV - Gave the link a cursory glance, will read properly tomorrow. Looks very interesting. more

Resolved Question: Fashion and Visual Anthropology - any ideas?

I'm doing a photographic project for a visual anthropology course and I'm thinking of doing it about clothing and adornment as a means of expression but that's obviously v weak!! I'm thinking of stopping people in the street if they dress interestingly or impeccably (judged by my standards :-S) and then asking them questions and also, or more importantly, asking others about this person's style or mode of expression..... I should have tested the field yonks ago tbf but I'm a last minute type of person; last minute being 6 weeks and counting this time round, which is grand for me! Thinking of bringing in archival work and possibly speaking about post-modernism and it's possible representation and development in fashion (:-S!) and also the importance of 'performance' and how it varies by person, let alone age group, 'sub-culture' or regionality/ethnicity.... GAH, I've rabbitted a lot here.... Any suggestions are desperately welcomed and applauded! PLEASE HELP! p.s. I'm trying not to make it sociological and so don't reeeally want any stats or too much classification (e.g. sub-cultures and generalisations and whatnot.....). Tbf, anything will do! I just need a direction!! p.p.s. ANY CRITIQUE AND/OR OTHER IDEAS DESPERATELY WELCOME!! Danke schon :D more
