I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to mention this, but I have responded to a comment you made on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Carlos_Castaneda#POV_template_added and wanted you to let you know, and hopefully hear more of your views. There was much to interest me in the discussions about Castaneda! Not surprising that his main page is something of a tug-of-war... I am one who has definitely been deeply moved by his first 4 books, but I still don't know yet how I feel about his apparent charlatanry. -AGS 67.193.46.15 (talk) 07:52, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- Here's the reply if you missed it elsewhere: Regarding your statement "there is no substantial disrespect to the Yaqui culture in these works" let me just quickly run the title of his book by you again "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge"!
- How is the work "an apt criticism of investigative anthropology" if he submitted it to obtain his anthropology PhD? Even though it is fiction, by the very act of submitting it it to obtain his degree he was making the claim that it was an accurate work of research. Instead of then publishing or declaring to the press/public some kind of expose statement on how easy it is to falsify anthropological research and obtain a degree with it, which would support your statement, he does the opposite. He simply goes on to write several more works in the same vein, becomes exceedingly secretive, and never engages in any interviews or even any collaboration with "other" anthropologists to corroborate his "research", or conversely as you suggest, continue with any criticism of investigative anthropology. 10:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Vittoriale quote[edit]
Could you respond to my concerns posted at Talk:Vittoriale_degli_italiani? I'm curious where you found that translation. --NEMT (talk) 18:49, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with you, left a comment there about the issue. Lebanese blond (talk) 00:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
