ANTHRO 1624: The Anthropology of Politics: Power, Domination and the State
4.00 Credits

The modern state increasingly governs, regulates and intervenes in what was hitherto considered private domains of life. This course will explore how modern power is produced and exercised. However, from an anthropological perspective it will also examine other non-modern state forms. Themes that will be considered in class include power, domination, resistance, and the shifting relationship between public and private.

ANTHRO 1676: The Tradition Inventing Machine: State and Culture in Eurasia
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Once taken as anthropology's givens, "traditions" and "culture" are now viewed as creations of politics of nations/nationalism. The Soviet collapse has spawned tradition-inventing projects from the Baltics and Central Asia to the Russian Far-East, involving redefinition of useable cultural heritage, national ideology, "national character", resistance/opposition, religion, morality, personhood, modernity, patronage/corruption, and "traditionalism". Course examines roles of states, elites, "tradition-bearers", etc., based on post-Soviet anthropological literature and comparisons outside of Eurasia and outside anthropology.

ANTHRO 1710: Memory Politics

ANTHRO 1742: Housing and Heritage: Conflicts over Urban Space
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
The celebration of national and local forms of heritage often rides roughshod over the interests of the local citizenry it is intended to serve. In this course we look at how such conflicts play out in several cities - notably Athens, Bangkok, Beijing, Istanbul, Jerusalem and Rome - and address the ethical, practical, and architectural conflicts that arise from an anthropological perspective.

ANTHRO 1755: Creole Pop Iconographies
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Creole is a term loosely applied to social entities (societies, persons, products) that are the result of racial, cultural and linguistic mixing of two or more distinct peoples. This course considers how creolity is mobilized in popular culture. It showcases ten pop icons from the Caribbean and Latin America, and considers how their iconic status is shaped by questions, assertions and debates that have also defined creolization as a concept in anthropology, literary theory and politics.

ANTHRO 1780: The Politics of Illicit Networks in Latin America: Seminar
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
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.

ANTHRO 1820: Japan in the Ethnographic Gaze: Seminar
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Offers introductory survey of Japan from anthropological perspective. Examines ethnographies, classical, contemporary and interdisciplinary. Special emphasis on ethnographies dealing with music; taking sound as a way of knowing, being in the world, and negotiating social differences, we will develop critical skills to "hear" multiple social relations and histories that make music so intertwined with competing interests and sensibilities in contemporary Japan and beyond.
