Discussion Board Prep: Thinking Like an Anthropologist
Big Question: Who owns “art”?
To complement the discussion of the appropriation of art by colonists and anthropologists who came upon so-called primitive peoples, explore the case of tattooing, an art form that has social significance in the cultures to which it is native (including in the South Pacific) and in the societies, that have borrowed this art form.
Read Smithsonian Magazine has a short online article regarding photographer Chris Rainiers’s images of tattoos (Links to an external site.). Additionally, the Smithsonian Magazine website also contains images that Rainier and his assistants have taken, which are featured in a video titled, Tattoo Odyssey.

After reviewing these images and discussions, and others you may find on tattooing from a global perspective, discuss the increasing popularity of this process in the West to the process of globalization and debates about primitive and “high” art. Is tattooing considered to be art in North America or northern European nations? In what ways does the significance and practice of tattooing in the West vary from that in the cultures where this art form began?
