ANTH 375 - Anthropology Of Globalization

Institution:

Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

The course will address social forces, practices, and experiences related to the ever-increasing transnational interconnectedness of societies accross the world. Through readings from the anthropological literature on globalization and related issues, we will critically address the ways "globalization" is conceived and theorized by contemporary scholars; its effects on the construction of identity; the roles of commodities, consumer culture, and the media; and the ways in which the processes referred to as globalization both broaden and expand notions of "community" and "culture", and present new varieties and intensities of difference, disjuncture, and marginalization.
