Happy Geek Anthropology Day!

Happy Geek Anthropology Day! Well, it’s actually the World Geek Anthropology Day in the US according to the American Anthropological Association (AAA). Since what I am interested in is Geek Anthropology, I will just tune the wording and make of the World Anthropology Day a geek one. Since I’m interested in taking a look at fandoms, comics and movies (specially Superhero movies) through anthropological lenses, it’s obvious to me that Geek is the adjective that tunes the most with this blog and the branch of Anthropology that is more suited to it.

But, is there such a thing as Geek Anthropology? I believe there is! We could define Geek Anthropology as an anthropological approach to tall things geek including geek comunities, their fannish activities, the study of culture through comics and games, etc. It’s not only the study of geek culture, but also the study of gender, politics and more through geek popular culture.

In short, I wish you a Happy Geek Anthropology Day!

And thank you for clicking on reading more about it! So, what do you think? Does Geek Anthropology really exist? Is it out there?
