What can you do with Sociology/Psychology/Cultural Studies/Social Anthropology post-grad qualification

[onebatmother]

Apart from pat self on back?

I am thinking of retraining but no idea about jobs. Those are the things I'm considering studying - what REAL ACTUAL JOBS might I get with a postgrad MA/PHD in them?

I mean ones that pay money. Any money. But must be money.

Thanks dearies.

Ah, onebat, we're all too busy planning for ourselves now, doncha know?

I no longer feel able to join in, even in jest, after reading "printability".

Oh, bugger off, Swedes. I'm allowed dodgy coinages along with the best/worst of them. But just for you "translation of the web page to easily-readable well formatted non-wasteful print version". Ok?

I looked at that Lenin - the masters was the first thing I found that I thought kinell I\d love that! But where would it leaaaad?

Habbibu -

I came across this phrase the other day -- 'the secondary orality of the electronic age'. Bloke called Walter Ong.

I think it is communication that falls between oral and literary it uses the written word but in media that make written communication instantaneous and what -- fluid? So that it resembles the spoken word more than the written. But he wrote pre-internet so I'm not such what t relates to.

Is he perhaps a person with similar concerns Habb and Fennel?

...sure what it relates to...

Am fucked. This is Just Wikipedia on phenomenology - mine are the square brackets.

"An important element of phenomenology that Husserl borrowed from Brentano was intentionality (often described as "aboutness"), the notion that consciousness always is consciousness of something. [kind of get it - intentionality is the 'experience of being conscious of an object'?]

The object of consciousness is called the intentional object, and this object is constituted for ['experienced via'?] consciousness in many different ways, through for instance perception, memory, protention, retention, signification, etc.

Throughout these different intentionalities [means of experiencing an object], though they have different structures and different ways of being "about" the object, an object is still constituted as [experienced as being?] the same identical object; consciousness is directed at the same intentional object in direct perception as it is in the immediately following retention of this object and the eventual remembering of it. [the thing doesn't change, whether percieved at the time, or immediately following, or in later memory]

[blood on floor. And teeth]

Really? Did you all just read that straight off, with no need to translate? Buggeration.

Excellent procrastination tool, onebat. "Must just quickly understand phenomenology before I get to work."

Very lucid article here btw.

with fear, or derision?

you're right lenin.

Walter Ong was wrong. On so many counts.... I just hope his middle name begins with R.

Actually, he was v. influential, but a bit obsessed with ideas about orality, and the literacy practices stuff makes so much more sense and is so much less poncy that I liked it better. ergo Ong was Wrong.

By the way, wankette partners... In the vague offchance you may remember who I am and may want to talk to me, I am planning a namechange soon and don't want to be forgotten

It may involved mammals and reincarnation, coutesy of my 10yo and 4yo this very evening(the 1yo just pulled my shirt up and said 'Lolo' when asked for inspiration)

Am feeling a bit exposed. And not just by the everlasting Breastfeed.

involved?

Nored, Wilf. (Although LoloTummy would also be good.)

Noted, rather than nored. 'Nored' sounds like a combitation of noted and ignored, which wasn't what I intended.

Does being on this thread mean we're all wankers? Not sure how I feel about that

(Am loving the typos too - I think, threadie, that you might have invented a new word there, with 'nored' ...)

I came back to this thread after a couple of days away, and it gave me a lovely warm feeling. To know that MN is composed of all kinds of people, but that there are so many talented and intelligent people to converse with as well.

I love you all
