I'll have to ask him next <i>Gorsedd y Beirdd</i> (Gathering of Bards) what he thinks of the term "Theoretical Anthropology" as applied to <i>y Tylwyth Teg</i>.<br /><br />Myself, I would hesitate to use that term, suspecting it might very possibly draw double disfavor, (1) as suggesting a hesitancy that has in the past been most unfortunate for those that expressed it [cf. Sean Connery's remark toward the end of <i>Darby O'Gill and the Little People</i>], (2) as suggesting the Fair Folk's membership in either <i>anthropos</i> / <i>homo sapiens</i> or antecedent species, decidedly not an assertion which any representatives of the Fair Folk are ever said to have found flattering, complimentary, or likely to ingratiate the speaker into their good graces, if I make my meaning clear.<br /><br />However, in case you still wish to pursue the matter, good luck (most sincerely!), and the Welsh rendition of "Theoretical Anthropology" would be <i>"Anthropoleg Damcaniaethol"</i> (by parallel with Theoretical Physics — <i>Ffiseg Damcaniaethol</i>).<br /><br />Modern Aberystwyth University <i>(Prifysgol Aberystwyth)</i> is available online to pick its brains at <a href="http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/" rel="nofollow"><b>http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/</b> <i>(in English)</i></a> and <a href="http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/" rel="nofollow"><b>http://www.aber.ac.uk/cy/</b> <i>(in Welsh)</i></a>.<br /><br />Currently there is, alas, no Anthropology Department, Theoretical or otherwise. Perhaps it was indeed <i>profoundly</i> unlucky for prior faculty members....?Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974090948640572660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-54126852046921777512013-02-06T07:22:00.693-08:002013-02-06T07:22:00.693-08:00Great idea and I love the desk backdrop.
