ANT 541 - Topics in Social Anthropology - Ethnography and Social Theory Today

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

Seminar explores the difference ethnographic methods and engagements bring to evidence-making and to social theorizing. Various theoretical frameworks that inform the ways anthropologists engage, think and write about social experience, subjectivity, and politics today are probed. Which concepts do anthropologists use to approach lives caught in embattled geopolitics and in novel economic, technoscientific and legal constellations? Through which means can we highlight both larger social processes and human singularities? How theoretically generative is the ethnographic and what is the public role of anthropology today?
