They put up a meeting page (American Anthropological Association 2005) which, frankly, looks like a brochure for tourists. One anthropologist blogger remarked: "Unfortunately....none of the conference papers are available online for public viewing" (Friedman 2005). You cannot even get paper titles and abstracts online, unlike other academic organizations (e.g. International Studies Association 2005). I am reminded of something David Hakken wrote: "the AAA remains only slightly ahead of my neighborhood muffler shop in terms of its creative use of cyber-media" (2003:194).This is why I decided to go through the AAA program book, and e-mail everyone whose paper title sounds CMA-related to ask permission to host their paper on my site.

I post this message here because while following the links that Kerim posted about the people he met at the AAA, I was particularly fascinated by what I found following the Danah Boyd link and learning about her work on Vizster. Unfortunately Danah has a notice up that she is currently unable to take on new projects and months behind on her email. Then, as I continued to peruse other links, it began to seem to me that any of several people here may either know what I need or be able to point me to people who do. The project as currently configured is a combination network analysis and ethnographic study of the world of advertising creatives in Tokyo, a world in which I have been immersed for over two decades and have the personal contacts to facilitate the ethnographic side. The data for the network analysis is coming from advertising contest annuals, which contain the credits for each winning entry: roles (copywriter, creative director, art director, etc.), the names of the individuals who filled them (and may, in fact, get multiple credits, e.g., as copywriter and as creative director), the advertiser and the agency and production companies involved. I am now in the early stages of entering this data into a Filemaker Pro database from which it can be exported in a variety of standard formats (Excel, etc.), hoping to get at least two annuals (Tokyo Copywriters Club 2000 and 2004)done within the next few months to begin pilot exploration of the data. My dream is a program that will do for this data what Vizster does for online networks, i.e., make it easy to display and explore networks from multiple perspectives. I would love to hear from anyone who knows of relevant software, especially if it runs on Mac OS 10.4.
