Email from Anne

Hwy guys,

This is the email I received back from Anne Galloway



Hi Meredith,

So sorry for the delayed response but your emails went straight into my junk folder and I didn't see them until right now!

The Spanish word I mentioned is "nervio" - I did a quick search and found this interesting link:

http://www.lizettegreco.com/roberto/nervio.html

As for understanding bodies, you might start with these books:

"The Body: The Key Concepts" by Lisa Blackman

"Divine Hunger: Cannibalism as a Cultural System" Peggy Reeves Sanday (ed.)

"Beyond the body proper: reading the anthropology of material life," Margaret Lock and Judith Farquhar (eds.)

"The Anthropology of Cannibalism" Laurence Goldman (ed.)

Also, go to the librarian and ask how to place an interloans request for a book called "Inca Cosmology and the Human Body" by Constance Classen, University of Utah Press, 1993.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Anne


I'll look into this over the next few days. Scott you said you were keen to do this too?

Are we still keen for Nervio for a name??? (after researching it properly and confirming that it actually means what we think it does)

I'm also doing some filming with ice this weekend. Will post on vimeo and send you the link.
