Anthropology and Sociology Undergraduate; from Bristol, UK.
I am completing a research project on narrative transmission and reproduction, looking at how oral accounts of geological events are passed down accurately over generations. By understanding how narratives are constructed I am keen to explore interdisciplinary approaches, particularly between Anthropology, Linguistics, Computer-Human Interaction, and Cognition.
Other interests include literature, art and photography, architecture, astronomy, and outdoor pursuits.
Recent research has indicated that geological events from 10,000+ years can be recorded by oral narratives - without writing systems - and passed down accurately through time. This project aims to identify how such narratives are constructed, and where they may be applied to an urban, digital world.
I think this is such a fascinating topic, with really interesting implications for some of the stories and myths that are so familiar to us today. I'm really looking forward to reading more about your research as it develops!
Thank you!
Yes, I'm not sure to what extent it can be covered this summer, but the implications/application for some of the research published previously have been very interesting.
