ANT 423 - Anthropological Approaches to Arab Society and Culture

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

This course will concern how society, culture, and law affect one another in the context of contemporary Arabic-speaking societies. Using anthropological theories to "read between the lines" of the contemporary and historical record, the course will consider such topics as: the nature of the self, the meaning of time in Arab culture and history, the forms of family and political organization, changes in the legal status of women, and the development of democratic institutions. Minority groups, Muslim-Jewish relations, challenges to orthodoxy, and the roles of art and memory will also be connected to changing patterns of social life.
