ANTH 266b: Indigenous and Oppositional Media
1.00 Credits
Vassar College
(Same as Media Studies 266) As audiovisual and digital media technologies proliferate and become more accessible globally, they become important tools for indigenous peoples and activist groups in struggles for recognition and self-determination, for articulating community concerns and for furthering social and political transformations. This course explores the media practices of indigenous peoples and activist groups, and through this exploration achieves a more nuanced and intricate understanding of the relation of the local to the global. In addition to looking at the films, videos, radio and television productions, and internet interventions of indigenous media makers and activists around the world, the course looks at oppositional practices employed in the consumption and distribution of media. Course readings are augmented by weekly screenings and demonstrations of media studied, and students explore key theoretical concepts through their own interventions, making use of audiovisual and digital technologies. Ms. Cohen. Alternate years: offered in 2008/09.

ANTH 285a: East Asian and Australian Prehistory
1.00 Credits
Vassar College
(Same as Asian Studies 285) Using the theories and methods of anthropological archaeology this course reviews the major themes of research in the prehistory of East Asia and Australia. It outlines the evolution of human ancestors and their colonization of these geographic regions. It critically examines the significance of the coincident appearance of anatomically modern humans with the emergence of art, ritual, and language. It presents evidence for highly complex hunter-gatherer social systems across Eurasia and Australasia, followed by the expansion of economies based on domesticated plants and animals. Subsistence economy, trade, settlement strategies, technology, social organization, and symbolic behavior are emphasized throughout the course. Ms. Pike-Tay.
