ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY 290 - Pharaohs,Fellahin,Fantasy

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

Pharaohs, Fellahin, Fantasy: Ancient Egypt fires the imagination. This course examines Egypt of the Pharaohs: their forebears and their descendants to the present day. Just as the Nile links Africa, Egypt, and the Mediterranean, a stream of culture links the Egyptian past to the present, and as a great river meanders, carves new banks but still flows from source to sea, so too, Egyptian culture has changed through conquest and innovation but remains, at some level, recognizable. Students explore gender and economic relations, how we know what we know, and how to recognize occult or romantic fantasy. ANTH 102 or 206 are recommended but not required.
