Staying in touch

chris-marcatili



I've always been pretty bad at keeping my website and other channels up to date. Social media is not my favourite place to spend time.


But as a writer, it's kind of important to have a presence.


And so, without any ado, I present the following.


I'm experimenting with Substack as a platform for my writing. Why Substack?


It's a clean, easy platform to use. It's free – money only changes hands if you start to monetise your platform. It's designed to help grow your mail list, which appeals to me. I don't want to turn this into an advertisement for the platform; there are others that are probably as good or better, or meet different needs. For now I'm going to try Substack.


Substack is designed for monetised emails, but I have no plans to make anything like that at this stage. The emails are free.

I'm also launching an experiment I'm calling 'An Elsewhere Anthropologist'. Imagine an anthropologist exploring the strange borderlands between the real and the fictional; the articles, vignettes, fictions and facts will be from this strange, liminal space. It will include things like

  • Analytical reflections on real-world liminal spaces

  • Field notes from impossible places

  • Creative vignettes that blur the line between ethnography and speculative fiction

  • Anthropological reflections on contemporary media.


In short, it's a collection of ideas and pieces that bring fiction and anthropology into conversation with each other. Or, in other words, a place for me to nerd out about the array of things that catch my interest.
