film of brilliant talk on anthropology of craft


I heard Trevor Marchant give this talk at a conference last year and it is fantastic in that it shows a serious academic with a genuine understanding and reverence for the skills involved in traditional crafts and how they are passed on from generation to generation in traditional cultures. I am delighted to discover that Trevor has been elevated to the position of professor and his inaugural lecture is now online. If you want to skip the intro his talk starts at 15 mins in. It is longer than most stuff I post here but I think his work is very important for traditional craftspeople. It's a shame you can't see the fantastic pictures of buildings that accompany the talk but the words are worth listening to.

  1. Do you understand there's a 12 word sentence you can speak to your crush... that will trigger intense emotions of love and impulsive attractiveness for you deep inside his heart?

    Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, look after and look after you with all his heart...

    ===> 12 Words Will Trigger A Man's Love Instinct

    This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will make him work better than before to make your relationship the best part of both of your lives.

    As a matter of fact, triggering this mighty instinct is absolutely important to getting the best possible relationship with your man that once you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

    ...You will soon find him expose his mind and soul to you in a way he never expressed before and he'll perceive you as the only woman in the world who has ever truly tempted him.
