Savage Memory Discussion Prompts:

After reading the first two chapters of the textbook, watch the 2011 documentary, Savage Memory, and respond to TWO of the following prompts. To get full credit, you also need to respond to two other students' posts. Your response to each prompt should be at leastone paragraph long (five -6 sentences). While it is not required, you may find it interesting to watch the much older documentary about Malinowski (Off the Verandah), also linked on Canvas.

Question 1. How does the documentary relate to the textbook discussion about how anthropological fieldwork has changed over time?

Question 2. What are your thoughts about the use of the word "savage" in the documentary? Hint: Review the concept of unilineal evolutionary theory.

Question 3. What do you consider the most interesting, memorable, controversial, or troubling topic covered in the documentary? Why?

Question 4. What impact has viewing the film had on your perspective regarding the value of anthropological fieldwork? Should Malinowski be considered a hero, or something else? Why?
