ANTH 34804: Anthropology and Literature:Thoreau's Walden and the Bhagavad Gita
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Third- or fourth-year standing. The rich and complex Thoreau/East Indian connection has been elaborated in many essays and books, and this course pushes the frontiers further through a "heroic reading" of all of Wald en and much of t he Git a. We also discuss how these masterpieces speak to fundamental problems: good/evil, self/cosmos, duty/passion, reality/illusion, political engagement and philosophical meditation, and sensuous "wildness" and ascetic devot ion. P. Friedrich. Not offered 2009-10; will be offere d 2010

ANTH 36700: Archaeology of Race and Ethnicity
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Consent of instructor. The correlation between ethnic groups and patterns in material culture lies at the heart of many archaeological problems. Over the last several years, a new emphasis on the social construction of racial and ethnic identities has invited a re-examination of the ways in which aspects of the material world (i.e., architecture, pottery, food, clothing) may participate actively in the dialectical process of creating or obscuring difference. This seminar surveys historical debates and engages with current theoretical discussions within archaeology concerning race and ethnicity in complex societies. S. Dawdy. Not offered 2009 C10; will be offered 201 0 -11.
