Anthropology 269 - Ireland and the Anthropological Imagination

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

GIS, ICS Ireland has long captured the anthropological imagination, and the field has provided classic depictions of kinship and community, controversial accounts of rural decline and disorder, and current work on the country's shifting position in European and world politics. This course includes a range of ethnographic exploration in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It considers the multiple and contested meanings of Irish identity in contexts as varied as the increasingly diverse city of Dublin, nomadic or seminomadic Traveller communities, politically divided Northern Ireland towns, and Irishlanguage regions. Ethnographic texts are assigned, and films with material on current events in Ireland and Northern Ireland are screened.
