  • AMS 376: American Art and Culture: The 1960s

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    An examination of the dominant art movement of the 1960's, Pop Art, through its major figures (Warhol, Lichtenstein, Oldenberg, Wesselman, Indiana, and Segal), and the interrelationships with contemporary advertising, e.g., imagery of sex, automobile culture, cigarettes and food, art and signs. The course will look at parallels in other cultural expressions, such as fiction, journalism, rock music, and film, to explore some of the defining social and artistic concerns of a very turbulent decade.

  • AMS 380: Roads Not Taken: Some Critics of American Society, 1880-1960

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Many commentators during the 1950s gave the impression that postwar liberal-democracy was the 'natural' state of the USA. This obscured the work of many interesting, non-mainstream critics of modern industrial America, ranging from insurrectionary socialists to melancholy conservatives, few of them writing from the academy, including novelists, journalists, and activists. The course aims to give students the chance to read these writers and decide for themselves whether they deserved to have more influence than they did, or perhaps even less.

  • AMS 402: Remaking American Studies

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    This seminar is an experiment that engages its members in two questions: What should every student know about a mysterious and impossible subject of study, America? And second, how best to go about approaching and formulating (even as we interrogate) this knowledge? The seminar offers an opportunity to think about what American Studies is today as a set of practices. It considers conceptions of nationhood, as well as changing notions of individualism, identity, subjecthood, race, and class. It confronts the problem of interdisciplinarity in humanistic study. It also takes seriously the internationalization of "America".

  • ANT 212: Cultural Freedoms: Hate Speech, Blasphemy, and Pornography

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Freedom of expression is always limited, both by the harm that may be said to occur if unbridled and by the constraints of the dominant culture. Using such topics as hate speech on campus, the cultural defense plea, the Mapplethorpe exhibit, the Supreme Court opinions on pornography, and the Salman Rushdie affair, we will ask how civility relates to free speech, how codes may channel expression without oppression, and how cultural difference can relate to shared values and orientations.

No science background is required on the part of the student.

  • ANT 223: Anthropology of the Psyche

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    This seminar addresses the social relations in which mental health, mental illness, and psycho-medical knowledge are entangled and produced. We will engage various cross-cultural approaches to mental conflicts and pathologies: psychoanalysis, ethnopsychology, biomedical psychiatry, transcultural psychiatry, and religious and "alternative" practices of diagnosis and healing. Drawing on ethnographic and clinical studies from Greek and other contexts, we will examine the role of culture in determining lines between normal and pathological, and consider the intertwining of psyche and body in human experience and behavior.

  • ANT 232: Social Lives, Social Forces

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    All societies value caring for others, and the theme of responsibility opens a wide window on social lives and social forces. The seminar's main questions probe the roles of formal institutions in defining official standards of liability and judgment, as well as the importance of informal (yet deeply consequential) norms of friendship, kinship and partnership. Also, since responsibility may be clear in theory but not in practice (and vice versa), we also consider how individuals and communities manage uncertainty. The seminar draws on anthropology, law, literature, and current events for scenarios of responsibility.
