Anthro 4517 - Anthropology and Development

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

A survey of classic and contemporary ethnographies of the "developing" world and of interventions that seek to "develop" these places and peoples. We consider anthropology's uncomfortable proximity to development as an instrument of rule; debates between Gramscian, Foucauldian, Postcolonial, and Liberal perspectives; and new directions in the theory and ethnography of global flows (networks, translocal technological zones, shadow states and economies, counter-movements, and de facto sovereignty regimes).
