09S: 10 This course explores the cultural dimensions of human relationships with animals. Topics to be covered include the diversity of relationships between people and animals around the world, the nature and significance of the boundary between humans and animals, and the ways in which people use animals to create, think through, and naturalize human social dynamics, particularly in relation to distinctions of race, gender, sexuality, and class.

09W: 11 Western and native folk views of the Japanese language and Japanese society emphasize uniqueness, homogeneity, and adherence to tradition. Linguistic Anthropology argues, however, that areas of Japanese Women's Language and Honorific Register, long thought to be exemplary of these sociolinguistic traits, have in fact emerged historically through Japan's engagement with the West, and through the production of social difference within Japan. This course takes up the social and historical relation between these Japanese linguistic forms, speech practices, and the production of Japanese cultural identities and differences. (ETHN ) Dist: SOC; WCult: CI . Ball.

10W: 10A Linguistic anthropological study of gossip offers insight into the power of speech to construct and transform peoples' private and public selves. Gossip occurs in widely varying ethnographic contexts, but everywhere the circulation of these potent messages seems to involve maximum privacy of the source speaker and maximal publicity to the target audience. As such, gossip also offers a vantage on how language use travels between micro-interactional and macro-sociological spheres. This course examines gossip cross-culturally in order to understand how private and public spheres are constituted through talk, with attention to linguistic, social, and cultural aspects of performance, participant roles, mediation and circulation, publics, authority, and knowledge. (CULT) Ball.
