Description:

ANTH 461 -- Material Culture (3) Thinking about objects and the ways that people make, use, understand, and engage their material worlds has become an increasingly interdisciplinary project involving cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians, folklorists, literary critics, and historians, among others. In this course, students will consider the major ideas and approaches influencing this scholarship and will apply what they have learned in an original research project that explores the meaning of material culture. Special attention will be paid to how objects structure and are structured by human experience. Formerly ANTA 461. Fall.
