rdcu.be/etL5R A really interesting, nuanced take on indigenous names for the #Tapanuli #orangutan: when does it make sense to use them, and when might more 'neutral' terms be better for their #conservation? h/t @peopleprimate.bsky.social
Indigenous names matter, too: Tapanuli orangutan names reflect local community perceptions

‘Ethnographic expressions’ explores these questions by bringing ethnographers and multimodal practitioners together to scrutinise, refine and devise key criteria and principles for evaluating multimodal ethnographic work. 4/4

How can such outputs be rigorously evaluated, and how might these evaluative practices be deployed by journals, websites and other publication infrastructures? 3/4

Recent years have seen the proliferation of different kinds of ethnographic expression, e.g. poetry, fiction, sound, photo essays. But what makes a ‘good’ ethnographic output? 2/4
