ANTH 27130: America:Society,Polity,and Speech Community
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
We explore the place of languages and of discourses about languages in the history and present condition of how American mass society stands in relation to the political structures of the North American (nation-) states and to American speech communities. We address plurilingualisms of several different origins (i.e., indigenous, immigrant) that have been incorporated into the contemporary American speech community, the social stratification of English in a regime of standardization that draws speakers up into a system of linguistic "register," and how language itself has become an issue-focus of American political struggles in the past and contemporaneously . M. Silverstein. Not offered 20 0 9-10; will be offered 2 0 10-1

ANTH 27505: Professional Persuasions:The Rhetoric of Expertise in Modern Life
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course dissects the linguistic forms and semiotics processes by which experts (often called professionals) persuade their clients, competitors, and the public to trust them and rely on their forms of knowledge. We consider the discursive aspects of professional training (e.g., lawyers, economists, accountants) and take a close look at how professions (e.g., social work, psychology, medicine) stage interactions with clients. We examine a central feature of modern life-the reliance on experts-by analyzing the rhetoric and linguistic form of expert knowledge . S. Gal. Spring.

ANTH 27605 /37605: Language,Culture,and Thought
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This survey course explores the role of natural language in shaping human thought. Through lecture and discussion, we take up the topic at three levels: semiotic-evolutionary (the role of natural language in enabling distinctively human forms of thinking-the rise of true concepts and self-consciousness), structural-comparative (the role of specific language codes in shaping habitual thought-the "linguistic relativity" of experience), and functional-discursive (the role of specialized discursive practices and linguistic ideologies in cultivating specialized forms of thought-the pragmatics, politics, and aesthetics of reason and expression). Readings, which are drawn from many disciplines, emphasize developmental, cultural, and critical approac hes. J. Lucy. Spri

ANTH 27700 /47900: Romani Language and Linguistics
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This is a beginning course on the language of the Roms (Gypsies) that is based on the Arli dialect currently in official use in the Republic of Macedonia, with attention also given to dialects of Europe and the United States. An introduction to Romani linguistic history is followed by an outline of Romani grammar based on Macedonian Arli, which serves as the basis of comparison with other dialects. We then read authentic texts and discuss questions of grammar, standardization, and Romani language in society. V. Friedman. Spring.

ANTH 27705 /47905: Language and Globalization
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Third- or fourth-year standing. Distinguishing myths from facts, this course articulates the different meanings of globalization, anchors them in a long history of socioeconomic colonization, and highlights the specific ways in which the phenomena it names have affected the structures and vitalities of languages around the world. We learn about the dynamics of population contact and their impact on the evolution of languages. S. Mufwene, W. Wimsatt. Not offered 2009 C10; will be offered 201 0 -11.

ANTH 27916 /37916: Talk Radio and Discourses of the American Right
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
Rather than a critique of conservative political philosophy, this seminar is designed to enable students to bridge fine-grained analyses of radio broadcasts with the macro-level concerns of political groups. A major focus is on "hands-on" analysis of talk radio data and examination of communicative practices found there. The rigorous focus on data collection and analysis provides students with a basic training in discourse analytic methods, while the nature of the material allows examination of political discourse as an ethnographic object .

ANTH 28210 /48210: Colonial Ecologies
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This seminar explores the historical ecology of European colonial expansion in a comparative framework, concentrating on the production of periphery and the transformation of incorporated societies and environments. In the first half of the quarter, we consider the theoretical frameworks, sources of evidence, and analytical strategies employed by researchers to address the conjunction of environmental and human history in colonial contexts. During the second half of the course, we explore the uses of these varied approaches and lines of evidence in relation to specific cases and trajectories of transformation since the sixteenth century.
