Anthro 3092: Indigenous Peoples and Movements in Latin America
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
An overview of Amerindian peoples, cultures, and contemporary sociopolitical movements in core indigenous regions of Latin America (the Maya highlands of Mexico and Guatemala, and the Andes, Chaco, and Amazon of South America). Expressions of indigenous cultural, linguistic, and social difference are considered in relation to histories of European colonialism and modern Latin American nation-building. Emphasis is placed on current dimensions of indigenous demands for territorial, political, and cultural rights in the context of global economic development, natural resource exploitation, military violence, and legal recognition of ethnic pluralism in some Latin American nation-states.

Anthro 3122: From Country to Heavy Metal: Ancient Civilizations of the Old World
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course explores the archaeology of Europe, the Near East, and Central Asia from approximately 10,000 years ago to classical times (ending before Ancient Greece). This prehistoric epoch saw major developments among various civilizations of the Old World, such as the introduction of agriculture, animal domestication, the growth of cities, and technological developments such as pottery, metallurgy, and horse-riding. A major focus is the trajectory of cultural innovations of regional populations through time, and the complexity of their social, political, and ritual practices. We also investigate the variation in human adaptive strategies to various environmental and social contexts, from hunter-gatherers to early Neolithic farmers, to the interactions between nomadic populations and larger scale, urban societies in the Bronze and Iron Ages.

Anthro 3201: Gender, Culture, and Madness
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course explores the relationships among gender constructs, cultural values, and definitions of mental health and illness. Understandings of the proper roles, sensibilities, emotions, and dispositions of women and men are often culturally and morally loaded as indicators of the "proper" selves permitted in a given context. Across cultures, then, gender often becomes an expressive idiom for the relative health of the self. Gender identities or presentations that run counter to these conventions are frequently identified as disordered and in need of fixing. In this course, we take up these issues through three fundamental themes: the social and cultural (re)production of gendered bodies and dispositions; the normalization of these productions and the subsequent location of "madness" in divergent or dissonant experiences of embodiment; and the situation of discourses of "madness" within debates of resistance and conformity, selfhood and agency. Prerequisite: junior standing or permission of instructor.

Anthro 3254: Vote for Pedro: A Critical Look at Youth and Popular Cultures
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Over the past decade, anthropologists have become increasingly wary of the importance of youth and popular cultures as a powerful field where people not only express themselves but also influence some of the basic tenets of society. While "pop life" is not exclusive to youth groups in terms of production and distribution, young people are the majority of consumers. In this course, we examine popular Christianity in Brazil, Mexican street art, Japanese manga comics, American teenage fascination with the extraterrestrial, U.S. college sports fandom, various "white" hip-hop movements, alternative "girl" rock, and drug "cultures." These vibrant forms and practices are not homogenous, they vary across time and space. This course considers "the popular" in its broadest sense, giving us an opportunity to turn an anthropological lens onto the everyday life of teenagers and the seemingly flavor-of-the-month styles of the popular, while simultaneously opening up the discipline of cultural anthropology to appreciate the fast-paced montages and purposefully distorted sounds of consumerism and youth energy.
