ANTHRO 1780 - The Politics of Illicit Networks in Latin America: Seminar

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the relation between illicit networks, the informal economy, transnationalism, and the state in Latin America. We question the connections between illicit networks and violence and debate how violence and the law are represented by various actors. We challenge the definitions of what is considered formal and informal, and legal and illegal activity, in order to ethnographically examine what official views obscure in the everyday relations of transnational activities.
