ANT 4271 - Capstone: Arts of Resistance (3) [CAP]

When Offered: On Demand
GEN ED: Capstone Experience
This course introduces students to social science and humanities literature on state power, surveillance technologies, and police and military institutions, while also examining the strategies and creative practices of communities and individuals that resist the tyranny of the state and envision alternative political futures and radically different configurations of power and social life. We will look at the work of (a) anthropologists and political theorists addressing contemporary global crises of population displacement, economic upheaval, and environmental change, (b) thinkers who shaped human rights law and humanitarianism during the 20th century, and (c) a field of anthropological theory that reacts creatively to crisis-management of the state, which we call “anarchist anthropology”. 
Prerequisites:  ANT 2215 , ANT 2221 , ANT 2230 , ANT 3625 . Students who have previously received credit for ANT 4270  may not enroll in or receive credit for ANT 4271.
