ANTH-410 Culture and Globalization
Professor Gwendolyn Mikell
M 3:15 pm – 5:05 pm
ICC 105
This is a seminar course that examines anthropology=s exploration of globalization, particularly the intersection between culture, power, and history. It is focused on how a few anthropological themes in the study of culture (family and gender relations, race/ethnic and religious identity, local-national-global governance, the impact of technology on culture, and conflict and violence) have undergone transformation as control over human lives expands from the local to include global influences as well. We focus on different cultural areas, including the U.S., Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Using contemporary ethnographies and articles, theoretical essays by anthropologists, as well as analyses from political science and other disciplines, we examine how the ethnography and anthropological discourse have been influenced by the expanding market, technology, terrorism, and policies of the 21st century.
