What tools do anthropologists use to understand the contemporary? How do anthropologists understand the world in which we live and the objects that surround us in daily life. What might anthropologists have to say about hollywood films, cyber space, shopping malls, fast food, raves, hip-hop, and the 24 hour news media? Through an investigation of anthropological engagements with mass and popular cultural forms, as they are consumed, enacted, or resisted across the globe, students will explore different methodologies and approaches to the study of contemporary cultural forms.

AS 070.256: Monsters, Beasts & Aliens: Cosmology in Asian Religious Traditions
3.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
This course examines the types of beings that act as agents in Asian religious worlds. Using primary sources, along with literature from Anthropology and Religious Studies, we will explore issues of narrative, belief, personhood, otherness, and marginality. Some of the central questions of the course are: What types of creatures populate the Buddhist and Hindu cosmos? How do we make sense of worlds that contain different beings than own? What makes us, or others, “believe” in the beings that are beyond our perception? Do religious traditions need monsters and beasts in the world in the same way they need gods? The course is organized around a three-part cosmology, found in many Asian religious traditions, which divides the universe into the realms (1) above the earth, (2) on the earth, and (3) below. The course thus first explores encounters with beings of the underworld and graveyards (“monsters”), and investigates religious practices and beliefs related to these monsters. The “beasts” section of the course turns to beings encountered on the earth: from local spirits and mountain deities, to monkey-men and yetis. Finally, we will look at transcendent or non-terrestrial beings (“aliens”), and examine how they act upon, or through, humans.

AS 070.257: Animals and Politics in Africa
1.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
The course examines the place of animals in representations of Africa in order to understand how politics, resistance, and self-formation have changed through colonial and post-colonial struggles. We focus on a number of classic and contemporary literary, philosophical, cinematic and ethnographic works in which animals frame questions concerning what it is to be human, and what modes of social and political experience are possible in Africa today.

AS 070.263: The World of the Popular Indian Film
2.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
Popular Indian film has been studied variously as a historical archive of the nation-state; a visual text of social and ideological change; and a form of public culture that emerges from culturally specific modes of how people see, hear, and feel when watching films. In this course we will watch selected Indian films along with key readings to investigate these three strands of inquiry into popular film as complementary ways of imagining the relationship between images and our understanding of the world.
