The Chicago Anthropology Exchange was the unofficial journal of the anthropology department of the University of Chicago. If I remember correctly it was one of the many brainchildren of sol Tax. Like a lot of things that Tax got people enthused about, it wasn’t actually that successful and languished on and off for some time. I even did a brief stint doing layout for it during my time as a grad student. After that it collapsed again. But now it has risen from the ashes as “EXCHANGE”:http://newcloud.com/exchange/index.html with new CSS styling and interviews with “Marshall Sahlins”:http://newcloud.com/exchange/interviews/sahlins.html and “Slavoj Zizek”:http://newcloud.com/exchange/interviews/zizek.html. In my experience most departments have enough intellectual ferment to start a journal and now that the barriers for entry are so low technology-wise we should all start one. So I hope EXCHANGE will have a future full of good content (and an RSS feed and more metadata!).

Thanks, Rex. Apropro of our recent discussions of neoliberalism, Tsing, etc., I was particularly struck by this paragraph in the interview with Sahlins,
Cool, but…
It needs an RSS feed.
