Back on the air


The short version of what happened at the Inuit studies conference:

-- Wednesday: train to Paris, reception at the Canadian embassy for the opening ceremony. Champagne, refined food, meeting interesting people.

-- Thursday: big long day, including reading my paper about orality, representation and films, which went far more smoothly than I expected. Meeting more interesting people, listening to more interesting papers. Dinner in a small restaurant with some of the interesting people we had met at the embassy.

-- Friday: nice day, extremely interesting papers, lunch with a friend we had met in York a year ago. Dinner cruise with everyone on the river Seine, and had a late night drink with a small party of interesting people.

-- Saturday: closing ceremony in the morning, Isuma's latest film The Journals of Knud Rasmussen in the afternoon. I loved it. Had dinner at the Lutetia brasserie on the quai Bourbon.

That's the short version.
