Anthropology [217F]: 1491 and Beyond

Anthropology [222S]: Cultures in Japan and Beyond
3.00 Credits
Hamilton College
Explores implications of plural "cultures." Cultural practices often transform over time, and people may bring cultural habits to new places, negotiate with cultural conditions of new locales, and create hybrid cultures. By deconstructing singular notions of "Japanese culture" and "Japan as a nation-state," we investigate the plural cultures that exist both within Japan and that emerge from interactions with other countries and peoples in the world. We also critically and theoretically analyze a concept central to Anthropology: "cultures." Prerequisite, One course in Anthropology or Asian Studies 180 or consent of instructor.
