UNDER: CAC: COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE

3. Ethnographic Study on Virtual Communities

Mr. Reymark Aquino and Mr. Gabriel Bauzon conducted an ethnographic study on Student Leaders Community PH, an online community of Student-Gamers (who technically play and organize Mobile Legends related events). This paper is a part of the requirements and task in Comm 11 Course. Mr. Aquino was able to observe the community personally since he works as an Admin of the said group. This paper aims to promote awareness that cultural differences and even actions were united by a proper system of communication. The drastic growth from 7,000 facebook group members to almost 20,000 within a span of just six (6) months is a positive result of a synchronized and well organized group. Generally, it was brought by the deep understanding on the importance of cultural respect and systematic communication.

So I’ve decided to watch Friends. I’m finally going to do it. I’m jumping into this in the name of anthropology. This is an ethnographic study on corny white people. How they court, their food, their interactions, mating rituals, traditional clothing, etc. Every thirty minutes, to avoid losing touch with my own culture and being sucked into a world that i’ve heard described as “mesmerizing” and “hypnotic”, I’m going to take a bite of black eyed peas and watch a clip of Homeboys In Outer Space on Youtube. Wish me luck.

Ethnographic Study: Student Preferences on Collegiate Alcohol Consumption

Hey guys!

I know this is probably a long shot, but I’m looking for participants in NJ, NY, and/or PA (or anywhere near those locations) to participate in my research study. Participants have to be ages 21-23 and enrolled in college. All you would have to do is fill out out a participation agreement and take two short surveys. We’d exchange emails and go from there!

If you’re interested but want more info I would be more than glad to explain the research in full detail.

Spread the word if you think this would apply to someone you know. Thank you!

Art and Islamic Literacy Among the Hausa of Northern Nigeria (African Studies)

Art and Islamic Literacy Among the Hausa of Northern Nigeria (African Studies) Taking a perspective based on folk lore, this text is an ethnographic study of the tools, artifacts, and other expressions of the material culture of literacy as it is found in the clerics' diverse activities within the context of the Hausa society in northern Nigeria. This study fills a gap in African data by addressing how informational, magical, as well as aesthetic potentials of the written word have been adapted in local contexts. It explores the origins of the diverse roles and types of malams (represented primarily by malaman Qur'ani and malaman Ilmi). The history and origin of the current calligraphic styles adapted and developed by the Hausa malams are investigated as a guide to understanding calligraphic designs and writings on manuscripts, charms, amulets, Qur'anic boards, architectural decorations, and other artifacts. Field research was conducted primarily in Kano, but also in Zaria, Sokoto, and other cities and rural areas in northern Nigeria. Archival, museum, and library research was conducted in Nigeria, England, and the United States.
