Course description |
This course introduces a range of anthropological approaches to politics. It provides a detailed examination of both open and hidden forms of power and their workings at the global, state, national, community, and personal level. Key themes of this course are the interactions between subjects, population and governance; nation states, citizenship, migration, territorialism and multiple ways of belonging and exclusion; colonialism and post-colonialism; biopower, discipline and control; forms of domination and resistance; the anthropology of political parties, social movements and activism; discourses on human rights and collective rights; and the legalities and identity politics of culture?. We will also consider how anthropologists have participated in political? activities and with what effects. |
