Jennifer Deger – Culture and Complicities

Discussion Questions:

1. What issues arise when dominant cultures encourage indigenous cultures to preserve   themselves through media?  (i.e.: By educating them about media use?) Examples?

2.What do you think of anthropologists connecting closely with one informant?  Does their personal bias come into play?  How much of a culture does that represent

3.What is Culture and culture in Canada?

Additional Questions:

1.How does the transparent/casual tone of the paper affect how we read it?

2.How much of this revival of culture through media is real, and how much is imagined?
