ANTH-305-02 Class, Culture and Power in America
Spring only
This course focuses on class, culture, and power in America. Specifically we examine the formation of a new “global-class” in relation to a shift from the modern, industrialized world of mid-century, nation bound, classic capitalism, to the contemporary, postmodern, postindustrial world of global late capitalism. Ethnographic, historical, and cinematic accounts of various moments in capitalism will be framed within a range of critical perspectives, including theories of neoliberalism. Issues explored include the intersections of gender, class, race/ethnicity, and class and power in the United States. We will pay particular attention to theories of representation and their relationship to the lives of American elites living in New York, Chicago, London, and Shanghai.
