ANTH 21254: Intensive Study of a Culture:Pirates
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
Many questions regarding pirates, smugglers, and privateers go to the heart of major anthropological problems (e.g., the nature of informal economies, the relationship between criminality and the state, transnationalism, the evolution of capitalism, intellectual property and globalization, political revolutions, counter-culture, and the cultural role of heroic [or anti-heroic] narratives). Each week we tackle one of these topics, paring a classic anthropological work with specific examples from the historical, archaeological, and/or ethnographic literature. We compare pirate practices in the early modern Caribbean to examples spanning from ancient ship raiders in the Mediterranean to contemporary software "piracy. S. Dawdy.

ANTH 21308: Modern Readings in Archaeological Theory
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
Since 1950, archaeology has undergone a series of wrenching intellectual transformations that have shaped and reshaped the field's intellectual agenda, its relationship with anthropology, and its understanding of the human past. This seminar explores the shaping and reshaping of contemporary archaeology within the two dominant paradigm shifts of the last half-century: the rise of the New Archaeology and the critical response of post-processualism. We examine key texts and controversial papers, including works by Binford, Flannery, Schiffer, Hodder, Wylie, and Leone. A. T. Smith. Not offered 2009 C10; will be offered 201 0 -11.
