An interesting thing about Blogger™ is that it provides a certain
level of reporting back to you regarding the audience, search terms, how
readers find your blog, etc.
A while back, I posted a piece titled American Voyeurism and the Amish, in
which I expounded on some terms and
concepts recommended by The New York
Times television critic Neil
Ginzlinger regarding the recent PBS special on the Amish. In his piece, he made three points – the American
obsession with the different or the other, America’s mostly superficial
knowledge of their fellow Americans, and
what he felt to be the carefully managed public image of the Amish
(though I had pondered if it was not rather the American public that was in
fact manipulating the image of the Amish for their own social psychological needs).
