AN 232 - Ethnicity,Nation,and World Community

Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

The course explores the means by which social identities are constructed as ethnicity and nations. It focuses on how representations taken from categories of everyday life-such as "race," religion, gender, and sexuality-are deployed to give these group loyalties the aura of a natural, timeless authority. This inquiry into ethnicity and nation as cultural fabrications allows for exploration of the possibility of global community not simply in its institutional dimensions, but as a condition of consciousness. Not open to students who have received credit for AN/SO 325. Enrollment limited to 15. C. Carnegie.
