At the recent annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association in
San Francisco, there was a session on tattoos, scarification, mutilation and
other cultural inscribing of the human body. It was held on a sumday morning,
and the room was packed. Any of those invidiauls would welcome networking.
There is also a literature, scholarly and otherwise. Most recently is a co-
edited book from SUNY Albany by Mascia-Lees and Sharpe: Tattoo, torture,
mutilation and adornment: the denaturalization of the body in culture and text.
I would also look at the work of Maxine Sheets-Johnstone on the body generally
-- simply because it's an important work on the body. I have students working
on tattoo who can be contacted through me, Myrdene Anderson, MYANDERS@xxxxxxxxx
DUE.EDU. I will mention this message to one of these students, Suzanne Purdy,
in the event she can get on bitnet herself.
