ANT 3630 - Epistemology and Praxis (3)
When Offered: Spring
Representation and the epistemological problems inherent to it are key anthropological problems of the 21st century. Instead of studying identifiable, rooted communities, anthropologists have turned their attention to the rhetorical construction underpinning the very ideas and practices sustaining the experiences of rootedness and group identity. In a world marked more than ever by the politics of identity, access to resources is often predicated on establishing a clear membership in recognizable groups. This seminar will offer students a critical understanding of the construction of ‘truth’ which bolsters or provides obstacles to claims of membership and includes a discussion of the precarious nature of engagement which disrupts the balance between academic rigor and solidarity.

ANT 3635 - Political Anthropology (3)
When Offered: Spring
This course brings an anthropological lens to bear on the study of politics as practiced by cultures around the world with a special focus upon the topic of democracy. While much scholarship has addressed the more formal aspects of so-called “democratic transitions” (e.g. regime shifts, political parties and formal political institutions), only recently has scholarly attention in anthropology turned to considerations of lived experiences and the contingent nature of political subjectivities borne out in contemporary societies. Case studies are drawn from a range of contemporary theorizations of democracy and related concepts such as globalization, transnationalism, citizenship, economic development, and identity politics.

ANT 3640 - Language and Culture (3)
When Offered: On Demand
An overview of the complex relations between language, culture, and society as conceived by linguists and anthropologists. The course takes both an historical and an ethnographic approach to language, and involves close readings of theoretical works on language as well as comparative, cross-cultural readings in the ethnography of speaking.
|

-
ANT 3660 - Medical Anthropology (3)
When Offered: Fall
An examination of health, illness, and the treatment of disease from a cross-cultural perspective. Includes discussion of various theories of illness, types of healers, and the empirical basis for folk medicine and alternative forms of therapy.

-
ANT 3670 - Economic Anthropology (3)
When Offered: Spring
This course examines the material dimensions of social life from several theoretical perspectives: formalist, substantivist, Marxist, and contemporary forms of political economic analysis. It also surveys past and current forms of production, distribution and consumption, including ongoing efforts to establish economic alternatives to global capitalist development.

| |
-
ANT 3680 - Environmental Anthropology (3)
When Offered: Spring. Alternate years
This course explores how anthropologists understand the human and cultural dimensions of environmental problems. Or, to put it another way, the intersection of nature and culture. Environmental anthropologists examine how different sociocultural groups - from hunter-gatherers in the Amazon to rangers in national parks in the United States - have conceptualized, categorized, valued, and acted upon the non-human world. We will explore theories, methods, and applications of environmental anthropology. The field examines issues of vital concern today: how humans shape and are shaped by our surroundings.

-
ANT 3800 - Ethnographic Writing and Video (3)
When Offered: On Demand
The general purpose of this course is to explore the nature of ethnographic representation and alternative approaches to writing. In order to accomplish this, the course will focus on three main activities: (1) reading of some current critiques and analyses of ethnographic representation; (2) reading different forms of ethnographic writing by others, including realist, confessional and impressionist tales and viewing and critiquing select ethnographic videos; and (3) writing different forms of ethnographic writing.

ANT 3810 - Engaging Anthropology (3)
When Offered: Spring
This course prepares anthropology majors for internship experiences or other similar kinds of practicums locally and/or abroad. To that end, this course covers theories, methods, and politics of anthropological engagement in and beyond the University. Students will explore the range of modalities of engagement discussed in current anthropological literature, such as “public,” “engaged,” “activist” and “collaborative” research. Students will create personalized portfolios relevant to their individual internship/praxis goals.

-
ANT 3940 - Ethnographic Field School (2-6)
When Offered: On Demand
Students will be immersed in a particular cultural context and learn to use standard ethnographic techniques to analyze and interpret the culture. Each student will live in a local community, participating in its daily activities. There will be instruction in the use of qualitative methods, such as observation, mapping, genealogies and life histories, formal interviewing, and cultural domain analysis. A research paper on a topic selected in consultation with the instructor will be required.
Prerequisite: ANT 2215 or permission of the instructor.

-
ANT 3950 - Field Methods in Linguistics (3)
When Offered: On Demand
In this course, students will have the opportunity to learn methods in language documentation and analysis, and will construct their own description of the language from scratch, through direct elicitations from a native-speaker consultant, in addition to testing previously created field grammars and associated lexicon. The course is structured to provide students with a hands-on experience in collecting, processing, and analyzing linguistic data for the purposes of language documentation and description. By the end of the course, participants will have become familiar-not just with the structure of an unfamiliar language-but also with the basic methodologies of linguistic fieldwork (elicitation and text analysis).
|
| |
-
ANT 4225 - Meaning (3)
When Offered: Fall
Culture is often described generally as a system of shared meanings. Using semiotic and existential-phenomenological approaches in anthropology, this seminar will look not so much at WHAT the meanings are that people may share, but rather at the WAYS in which meanings are conveyed, silenced, changed, and imagined by human beings in their cultural contexts.
|
| |
-
ANT 4230 - Magic and Modernity (3)
When Offered: Spring
Modernity is often characterized by a constellation of features such as rationality, objectivity, linear time, bureaucracy, and progress. Anthropology arose as a discipline of modernity. Yet many of the worlds that anthropologists study are enchanted worlds where the dead speak, ghosts act, and magic works. This seminar analyzes what happens when modernity meets such enchanted modes of human existence and explores how anthropology might grapple with the problem of using rational methods to understand magical worlds.
Students who have previously received credit for ANT 4231 may not enroll in or receive credit for ANT 4230.

ANT 4240 - Politics of Ethnicity (3)
When Offered: Fall. Alternate years
The history and experiences of indigenous groups have long captured the interest and commitment of anthropologists. Recently, studies have focused on indigenous movements and declarations made in reaction to both state-making processes and neoliberal restructuring reforms of the twentieth-century and beyond. Anthropologists have framed their interpretations and understandings of these movements with attention paid to various topics including power, representation, domination and resistance, hegemony, state-making processes, citizenship, organizing, and performance. This seminar will introduce students to numerous case studies with which they will gain an understanding of the cultural and historical foundations from which are built indigenous movements and their particular strategies.

ANT 4260 - Anthropology of Development (3)
When Offered: Spring. Alternate years
This course offers an anthropological perspective on the critical study of national and international development projects. The anthropology of development puts questions of culture and human experience at the center of analysis. Through anthropological studies of the everyday life of development, we consider the lived consequences of development for those “being developed,” as well as for those advocating development. This ethnographic approach highlights the intimacies and materialities of development experiences. Geographic/cultural areas of emphasis will be global in scope but with extra emphasis in the instructor’s area of expertise.

ANT 4610 - Anthropology of Energy (3)
When Offered: Fall. Alternate years
This course explores anthropological dimensions of energy, with energy understood as the power to utilize physical and natural resources. In particular, we will look at the cultural politics of energy production and consumption in North American and global contexts. Using anthropological approaches to science and technology, we will consider how energy is never solely a techno-scientific process, but is fundamentally a social practice, always embedded in complex, uneven relations of power. In other words, we consider how the production of “power” concerns the materiality of generating electricity, heat, nuclear weapons, and other sources of fuel from natural resources, but at the same time, also concerns the politics of infrastructure, human difference, and trans-local networks of social action.
Students who have previously received credit for ANT 4611 may not enroll in or receive credit for ANT 4610.
