Anthropology 285: Peoples and Cultures of the Pacific
3.00 Credits
Wheaton College - Massachusetts
The island cultures of the Pacific respresent a dazzling array of social, political and economic styles, as well as a set of puzzling questions as they undergo rapid social changes in the 21st century. Some of the classic debates in anthropological scholarship will be considered, including: the origins of the inhabitants, the reasons for local warfare, ritual cannibalism, institutionalized homosexuality and exchange without money. We will also examine current debates about economic development, migration, environmental threats, political movements for integration and independence, the impact of tourism and the Western media, new religious movements, and language revivalism.

Anthropology 295: Peoples and Cultures of South Asia
3.00 Credits
Wheaton College - Massachusetts
Religious and ethnic diversity and conflict, ritual performance and festivity, caste, colonialism, cultural heritage, nationalism and modern struggles over sovereignty and development schemes are all features of South Asia that anthropologists find particularly interesting. This course explores the extraordinary cultural diversity of this region that extends from the Himalayas to Sri Lanka and Pakistan to Bhutan in order to better understand the differences and commonalities that divide and unite its peoples.

Anthropology 298: Experimental Course:Peoples and Cultures of the Himalaya
3.00 Credits
Wheaton College - Massachusetts
The Himalayan region provides extraordinary opportunities for pursuing fascinating issues that interest anthropologists everywhere, including the relationship between ecology and culture, the politics of gender, negotiating ethnic identity, religious diversity and interaction, and globalization. This region is also home to some of the most widely known fantasies about the ideal society, usually called Shangrila. This course uses intimate, detailed portraits of cultures and societies that the best of anthropology provides in order to examine these issues (and fantasies) in Himalayan contexts, while at the same time providing a broad overview of the enormous diversity to be found in the region and the challenges that its inhabitants share.

Anthropology 333: Economic Anthropology
3.00 Credits
Wheaton College - Massachusetts
The seminar explores capitalism and alternative forms of economic organization, challenging students to reconceptualize "economy" as acultural system. Students compare nonmonetized economic relations in different societies and interactions between economic cores and peripheries. This reconceptualization informs a critical understanding of the implications for participation in the global economic system and its impact on the rest of the world. (Department)

Anthropology 340: Seminar on Religion in Anthropological Perspective
3.00 Credits
Wheaton College - Massachusetts
In various places throughout the world, people are killing themselves and others in the name of "religion"or "religious beliefs." Attempts to make senseof these and other phenomena (such as trance, fundamentalism and ecstatic worship) that we call religious often reveal deep-seated prejudices and unfounded assumptions. This seminar examines how anthropologists have sought to understand such phenomena from the perspectives of practitioners in order to develop conceptual frameworks that facilitate cross-cultural understanding.

Anthropology 350: Gender and Social Organization
3.00 Credits
Wheaton College - Massachusetts
A unified analysis of gender and kinship is considered essential to an understanding of social organization. This course starts from the premise that cultural conceptions of gender are not "natural"categories. In this course we will consider how marriage, family and household organization both reflect and structure cultural definitions of gender and sex-role behavior and the dynamic interaction of public and private domains in the production of culture. We will be comparing small-scale societies to more complex forms (peasant and industrial economies) and we will also consider the differences among those societies that organize descent bilaterally, matrilineally and patrilineally. Seminar participants are responsible for preparing and presenting the readings and conducting two small field-work projects. (Donna O. Kerner) Connections: Conx 23006 Sexuality
