AN 272: Cultures, Conflict and Power
4.00 Credits
Arcadia University
This course examines how systems of power are established through the imposition and contestation of symbolic practices both within and between cultural groups. Beginning with an examination of how the powerless have historically used deception and feigning deference as a political strategy to confront a sovereign state, central emphasis of the course will be on understanding "symbolic violence"; the establishment of a sense of the "natural" to cultural constructions of identity and practice. Utilizing this notion of symbolic violence, the course investigates how the historical formulations of racial, gender and class hierarchies were developed as modern classificatory schemas of identity within the colonial context. The course will end with an ethnographic examination of power within a contemporary ethnographic situation of cultural conflict. Offered in 2005 and alternate years.

AN 285: Aesthetics
4.00 Credits
Arcadia University
Through the intersection of the disciplines of anthropology and theatre, performance research, this course examines the dramatic aesthetic and cultural shifts that have occured with the advent of what Jameson has called "late advanced capitalism". Starting with an examination of the decade of the seventies, this course charts the explosion of particular cultural aesthetics into worlds of entertainment, economics and politics. A significant concern of the course is for students to understand the degree to which everyday life has become a mediated reality with the concerns of marketing, hype and profitability being central to that reality.
