Description:

Posthuman/Ethnographic Spring 2009. Three credits. Hugh Raffles In recent years a new Copernican revolution decentering the human subject has swept the social sciences and humanities. Scholars in dialog with feminism, postcolonial studies, queer studies, and emergent work on science, technology, and nature, have begun to explore ways in which the world is created and populated through relations between and among humans, nonhumans, and quasi-humans. In this course, we examine innovative and provocative works in various media concerned with animals, technologies, "natural phenomena," and assorted forms of cross-species/cross-kindsinteraction to consider how anthropologists and others are responding to this challenge.
