Anthropology 352 - Anthropology of Europe

Institution:

Reed College

Subject:

Description:

Full course for one semester. This course will address the apparent paradoxes of anthropology of Europe through the lens of a number of ethnographies about problematically European communities-communities in one way or another on the periphery of Europe. More generally, the course will consider the complex theoretical and methodological issues that arise with anthropology's repatriation, the turning of a discipline originally concerned with defining Europe's "Other" onto Europe itself as an object of knowledge. The course readings range across a variety of localities, ethnographic genres, and types of social situations, from traditional community studies (including peasant, traditional proletarian, and urbanized communities) to studies with an area-regional or European purview. Prerequisite: Anthropology 211. Conference. Not offered 2009
