LCS 243 - Honors:The Anthropology of Globalization

Institution:

Bryant University

Subject:

Description:

Session Cycle: Spring Yearly Cycle: Annual In this course, students interpret these transformations through studying anthropological texts and films that provide in-depth analysis of local-level instances of globalization. These ethnographic studies allow students to improve both their specific knowledge of people and places throughout the world, and also develop more theoretically rigorous approaches toward explaining what is meant by the term globalization. To this end, students examine ethnicity to better comprehend issues of power, resources and land that occur in conflict situations; the movement of textiles to realize post-Fordist social and economic practices; human trafficking to conceptualize commodification of the human body; and refugee migrations to understand transnationalism (other themes are listed in the syllabus). In short, this course offers micro-level case studies, methods, and approaches toward learning about and explaining broad social and cultural processes. Students that receive credit for LCS242/GLOB242 cannot receive credit for this course. This course is cross-listed with GLOB243.
