ANTH 511 - The Global & Local in Anthro

Credits: Variable

Critically examines the different meanings of globalization and the impact of this process in anthropological thinking. Course also discusses other related concepts currently employed in anthropological research (e.g., transnationalism, locality, deterritorialization, hyperreality, postcoloniality, hybridity). Because globalization is a spatial category, we will pay particular attention to the way that thinking about space is making anthropologists redefine themselves. Occasional.
