Full course for one semester. In what way does it make sense to talk about the U.S. as a sociocultural unity Conflicting claims about which underlying forces really constitute and shape America are not merely issues for us as analysts, but rather are a crucial part of the phenomena we seek to study. As part of our work we will explore various historically located U.S. perspectives on what counts as "reality." The aim of the course is to contribute to a sophisticated cultural anthropology of the United States by developing analyses that incorporate, without necessarily confining themselves within, indigenous models of sociocultural process.
