ANTH 227GL - Intermedicate Seminar: Multicultural Expression And Celebrations Addo

Institution:

University of Massachusetts-Boston

Subject:

Description:

In this course we will use the lens of celebrating different communities' ethnicities to explore ideas of transnational belonging as they relate to diaspora, ethnicity, and race in the contemporary United States. Using critical race theory, discussion about art and display, contemporary performance studies, culture history and anthropological theories about cultural migration, we examine the politics of ethnicity, racialized identity, and national belonging. We also assess the current goals for U.S. multiculturalism and its practical connections to multi-vocality. We end the course by discussing how effective the modern nation state is for peoples of apparently different cultural backgrounds. In all of our discussions we remain interested in the diversity of voices women, men, the poor, children, the disabled, gay, lesbian, and bisexual people who may speak within, or for, a community. PREREQUISITES: English 101, 102, and a G100 course or 30 transfer Credits. 3 Lect Hrs, 3 Credits.
