Program of Study

Anthropology encompasses a variety of historical and comparative approaches to human cultural and physical variety, ranging from the study of human evolution and prehistory to the study of cultures as systems of meaningful symbols. Anthropology involves, at one extreme, natural science such as anatomy, ecology, genetics, and geology; at the other, various social sciences and humanities ranging from psychology, sociology, and linguistics to philosophy, history, and comparative religion. Anthropology can lead (through graduate study) to careers in research and teaching in university and museum settings. More often it provides a background for further work in other disciplines of the social sciences, humanities, and biological sciences, as well as for professional careers in government, business, law, medicine, social services, and other fields.

Program Requirements

Students must confer with the Director of Undergraduate Studies before declaring to major in anthropology. The B.A. program in anthropology consists of thirteen courses, of which at least eleven are normally chosen from those listed or cross listed as Department of Anthropology courses. A minimum of three must be chosen from the introductory group (ANTH 211XX, 212XX, 213XX, 214XX), plus eight others. The additional two related courses may be courses offered by other departments; approval must be obtained from the Director of Undergraduate Studies before the end of the second week of the quarter in which the student is enrolled in the nondepartmental course.

Students are encouraged to construct individual programs and, in so doing, they should consult regularly with the Director of Undergraduate Studies. For a broad view of the human career and condition one should include courses in archaeological, linguistic, physical, and sociocultural anthro-pology. Examples from courses currently offered follow:

Archaeological. ANTH 21401, 26100, 26300, 26500, 28500, 36400, 36500, 36600, 39205

Linguistic. ANTH 27001, 27002, 27003, 27605, 37201, 37202, 37301, 37302, 37500, 37700, 37801, 37802

Physical. ANTH 21406, 28100, 28400, 28600

Sociocultural. ANTH 20600, 21000, 21005, 21010, 21201, 21203, 21230, 21236, 21301, 21302, 21303, 21305, 21403, 21408, 21900, 23101, 23102, 23103, 23310, 24101, 24102, 25200, 25504, 30400, 32100, 32210, 34501, 34502

Courses numbered ANTH 211XX through 214XX do not presume any previous study of anthropology and may be taken in any order. However, students are strongly urged to take one of the following social sciences general education sequences before taking more advanced courses in sociocultural anthropology: Power, Identity, and Resistance (SOSC 11100-11200-11300) or Self, Culture, and Society (SOSC 12100-12200-12300). ANTH 211XX through 214XX are introductions to some of the substantive, methodological, and theoretical issues of sociocultural, archaeological and physical anthropology. Students emphasizing sociocultural anthropology are encouraged also to take one or more of the non-Western civilization sequences: African, South Asian, and Latin American. They normally feature anthropological approaches and content. With prior approval, other civilization sequences can be taken for anthropology credit (up to the two-course limit for nondepartmental courses) in accordance with the individual student's needs or interests.

The Director of Undergraduate Studies may refer students who wish to emphasize archaeological, linguistic, sociocultural, or physical anthropology to faculty in these fields to assist them to develop their individual programs.

When desirable for a student's individual anthropology program and with the approval of the Director of Undergraduate Studies, preferably in advance, a student may also obtain course credit for supervised individual reading or research (ANTH 29700), as well as by attending field schools or courses offered by other universities (up to the two-course limit for nondepartmental courses). A maximum of two-research credits (ANTH 29700, ANTH 29900) will count as additional anthropology courses beyond the required three introductory courses.

Summary of Requirements

3 ANTH 211XX, 212XX, 213XX, 214XX

8 additional anthropology courses (or courses

cross listed with anthropology)

(with approval of the Director of

__ Undergraduate Studies)

Grades. Courses counted toward the thirteen required for the major must be taken for quality grades.

Honors. Students interested in being considered for honors must apply to the Director of Undergraduate Studies before the end of their third year. Candidates must have a GPA of 3.6 or higher in courses in the major and typically a GPA of 3.25 overall. To receive honors in anthropology, students must develop an extended piece of research via a bachelor's essay under the approved supervision of a faculty member. Registration in ANTH 29900 may be devoted to the preparation of the senior honors essay. For award of honors, the essay must receive a grade of A or A- from the faculty supervisor and by the second reader who were approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. No later than fifth week of the quarter the student expects to graduate, two copies of the completed paper must be submitted to the Director of Undergraduate Studies by the student being recommended for honors. The faculty supervisor must be chosen from among anthropology faculty listed below. The second reader may be any credentialed scholar/scientist approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

This program may accept a B.A. paper or project used to satisfy the same requirement in another major if certain conditions are met and with the consent of the other program chair. Approval from both program chairs is required. Students should consult with the chairs by the earliest B.A. proposal deadline (or by the end of their third year, when neither program publishes a deadline). A consent form, to be signed by both chairs, is available from the College adviser. It must be completed and returned to the College adviser by the end of Autumn Quarter of the student's year of graduation.

It focuses on international and Brazilian policies for the Amazon and on the involvement of traditional peoples in environmental issues. M. da Cunha. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21205. Intensive Study of a Culture: Colonial New Mexico. In an area with a rich documentary and ethnographic record, indigenous communities have often been viewed as coherent, bounded, and persistent units of social, political, and economic organization whose ethnographic present can be unproblematically transposed onto an archaeological past. Using primary material, we examine substantive and methodological issues raised by this claim. We also discuss the development of novel and integral economic, political, and social networks that have defined colonial society in the region over the last five hundred years. M. Lycett. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21206/33600. Intensive Study of a Culture: The Tswana, Past and Present. (=AFAM 20500) This course describes and analyzes the sociocultural order of an African people during the precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial periods. J. Comaroff. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21207/34600. Intensive Study of a Culture: Problems in the History and Ethnography of Indonesia. Do Indonesian societies have any unity other than that which was originally imposed upon them by outsiders? Beginning with a review of the Dutch East Indies' colonial past, we consider how various scholars have responded to this question. Readings range from interpretive ethnographies in the tradition of Clifford Geertz to classics of Dutch structuralism to recent treatments of marginality and the postcolonial predicament. The course pays special heed to a trait commonly attributed to the region's cultures: the ability to localize objects and texts from afar. D. Rutherford. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21217. Intensive Study of a Culture: The Luo of Kenya. This course offers an overview of the history and contemporary culture of the Luo, a Nilotic-speaking people living on the shores of Lake Victoria. It examines the migration of the Luo into the region, the history of their encounter with British colonialism, and their evolving situation within the postcolonial Kenyan state. The course also uses the wide variety of studies of the Luo to illuminate transformations in the nature of ethnographic research and representations. M. Dietler. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21219. Intensive Study of a Culture: Early Industrial South. This course brings together archaeology, history, and ethnography to explore the rapid and profound social changes that accompanied the industrialization of the American South in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Working first with the historiography of this period, we identify the analytical categories and narrative tropes that have structured classical accounts of the New South and discuss how modern anthropological perspectives on these concepts might raise new questions and problems. We then consider the diverse lines of material, documentary, and ethnohistoric evidence available to pursue these questions. N. Kouchoukos. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21220/30604. The Mande World of West Africa: An Intensive Study of a Culture through History, Literature, and Ethnography. (=AFAM 20102, HIST 20102/30102, ISHU 20600/30600) For course description, see History. R. Austen. Winter, 2005.

This course explores the prehistory and early history of the Eurasian Steppe and Caucasia from the appearance of the first settled villages during Neolithic time through the rise of the first complex societies. Our goal is to provide students with an overview of the archaeological record from these regions and an understanding of the history of research in the area. A. T. Smith. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21232/39502. Intensive Study of a Culture: Eurasian Complex Societies. This course examines the rise and fall of complex societies in the Caucasus, in Central Asia, and on the Eurasian Steppe. Our focus is the unique practices and traditions that promoted the emergence of socially stratified, politically institutionalized polities. We examine the following cases: Tripolye, Sintashta, Bronze Age Oasis Civilization (BAOC), Urartu and its predecessors, and Greco/Scythian settlements on the Black Sea coast. A. T. Smith. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21236. Intensive Study of a Culture: Seminole. R. Fogelson. Spring, 2005.

The New Age and not-so-New Age interest in shamanism is also considered. R. Fogelson. Winter, 2005.

21302/30300. Modern Readings in Anthropology: Gender Theory and Anthropology. This course examines gender as a cultural category in anthropological theory, as well as in everyday life. After reviewing the historical sources of the current concern with women, gender, and sexuality in anthropology and the other social sciences, we critically explore some key controversies. These include the relationship between production and reproduction in different sociocultural orders; the links between "public" and "private" in current theories of politics; the construction of sexualities, nationalities, and citizenship in a globalizing world, and women and gender in postcolonial discourse. S. Gal. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21304/42100. Modern Readings in Anthropology: Kinship and Everyday Life. PQ: Third- or fourth-year standing. This course provides a critical survey of debates, old and new, in the study of kinship with an eye towards exploring their relevance to research on the reproduction and erosion of sociocultural difference. Readings range from classical treatments to recent reformulations that use kinship as a lens for exploring the dynamics of history, memory, and power. D. Rutherford. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21305/45300. Modern Readings in Anthropology: Explorations in Oral Narrative (The Folktale). This course studies the role of storytelling and narrativity in society and culture. Among these are a comparison of folktale traditions; the shift from oral to literate traditions and the impact of writing; the principal schools of analysis of narrative structure and function; and the place of narrative in the disciplines: law, psychoanalysis, politics, history, philosophy, and anthropology. J. Fernandez. Spring, 2005.

21306. Modern Readings in Archaeological Theory. This seminar explores the shaping and reshaping of contemporary archaeology within the two dominant paradigm shifts of the last half-century: the rise of the New Archaeology and the critical response of postprocessualism. We examine key texts and controversial papers, including works by Binford, Flannery, Schiffer, Hodder, Wylie, and Leone. A. T. Smith. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21401. The Practice of Anthropology: Logic and Practice of Archaeology. This course offers an overview of the concepts and practice of anthropological archaeology. We discuss the varied goals of archaeological research and consider the range of ways in which archaeologists build inferences about the past from the material record. Our more general discussion of research logic and practice is situated in the context of detailed consideration of current archaeological projects from different parts of the world. M. Lycett. Winter, 2005.

21402/33500. The Practice of Anthropology: Lévi-Strauss. Class limited to twenty students. This course discusses some fundamental topics in Lévi-Strauss's anthropology, namely, kinship, myth, and structure. Starting with alliance theory, it proceeds to examine the structural analysis of myths, its relationship to art, and the very notion of structure in Lévi-Strauss, relating it with models in other sciences that were its inspiration. M. da Cunha. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21403/33900. The Practice of Anthropology: Trends in Amazonian Ethnology. Class limited to twenty students. This course discusses some paradigmatic monographs on Lowland South American Indians. M. da Cunha. Spring, 2005.

21404/36000. The Practice of Anthropology: Great Excavations. In this class we approach the practice of archaeology through the medium of the excavation using a number of pivotal site reports and excavation summaries to examine the intellectual development of the field from the nineteenth century through today, traditions of scholarly representation, the methodological expansion of fieldwork, and the formation of archaeology's public persona. A. T. Smith. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21406/38300. The Practice of Anthropology: Celebrity and Science in Paleoanthropology. (=HIPS 21100) This seminar explores the balance among research, "show biz," big business, and politics in the careers of Louis, Mary, and Richard Leakey; Alan Walker; Donald Johanson; Jane Goodall; Dian Fossey; and Biruté Galdikas through films, taped interviews, autobiographies, biographies, pop publications, instructor's anecdotes, and samples of scientific writings. R. Tuttle. Winter, 2005.

21407/51800. The Practice of Anthropology: Decolonization, New Nations, and Great Traditions. Seeking perspective on contemporary scholarship on nation-states, this course examines American anthropological research on nations and nationalism since World War II. Why was the "new nations" project followed by increasing regionalism and then by an explosion in "imagination" and "identity" theory? How does scholarship on nations connect to World War II, the Holocaust, decolonization, the rise and fall of the cold war, the increasing gap between rich and poor, and contemporary economic and cultural globalization? J. Kelly. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21408/42200. The Practice of Anthropology: Interpreting the Potlatch (History, Narrative, and the Ethnographic Object). This course explores the one hundred-plus years of ethnographic writing about Northwest Coast gift exchange. It examines the ethnographic archive of texts devoted to "the potlatch" as a means of examining the intellectual history of anthropology as a scientific project and discussing ethnographic narrative, meaning, and form. Key texts in the ethnographic literature on the potlatch are paired with key statements from various theoretical schools within anthropology and narrative theory. J. Masco. Spring, 2005.

21700/31400. Media and Collective Identities in India. Through a series of in-depth studies, we consider the complex and often contradictory public cultural roles of various forms of mediation in modern India. Conceptual and methodological questions of more general concern are also addressed. For instance, how are we to conduct critical yet ethnographically engaged studies of the relation between localized identity politics and trans-local forms of mediation? W. T. S. Mazzarella. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21800/31200. Amazonian Local Knowledge. This course discusses, on Amazonian ethnographic grounds, a major current debate, namely the appropriation of local knowledge by the West. Following a general introduction to Amazonian ethnology, the course deals with the nature of shamanism and knowledge, as well as the process of generating and acquiring knowledge among some Amazonian societies. We then discuss issues around intellectual rights in relation to biological and knowledge prospection. M. da Cunha. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

21900/32400. Religion and Modernity in Film. (=CMST 24300/34300, HIST 26800/36800) For course description, see History. R. Inden. Winter.

22000/35500. The Anthropology of Development. (=ENST 22000) This course applies anthropological understanding to development programs in "underdeveloped" and "developing" societies. Topics include the history of development; different perspectives on development within the world system; the role of principal development agencies and their use of anthropological knowledge; the problems of ethnographic field inquiry in the context of development programs; the social organization and politics of underdevelopment; the culture construction of "well-being"; economic, social, and political critiques of development; population, consumption, and the environment; and the future of development. A. Kolata. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

22100/32300. The Anthropology of Science. (=HIPS 21301) Reading key works in the philosophy of science as well as ethnographic studies of scientific practices and objects, this course provides an introduction to contemporary science studies. We interrogate how technoscientific "facts" are produced and discuss the transformations in social order produced by new scientific knowledge. Potential themes include the human genome project, biodiversity, and the digital revolution. J. Masco. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

22200. Slavery and Unfree Labor. Contrary to widespread popular conceptions, American chattel slavery is only one of many historically known and ethnographically documented forms of unfreedom and exploitation. This course offers a concise overview of institutions of dependency, servitude, and coerced labor in Europe and Africa, from Roman times to the onset of the Atlantic slave trade, and compares their further development (or decline) in the context of the emergence of New World plantation economies based on racial slavery. S. Palmié. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

22300. The Anthropology of Intellectuals. (=HIST 16302) Although the term "intellectual" has had only a short history in the English language, a number of scholars have seen a vast array of societies as harboring something like an "intellectual class." In this course we grapple with various analytical definitions of "intellectuals." We then seek some rudimentary comparisons of the various kinds of cultural values and institutions that "intellectuals" have lived by. We devote the bulk of the course to studying varying conditions and characteristics of intellectuals in modern societies. C. Lomnitz. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

22400/34900. Big Science and the Birth of the National Security State. (=HIPS 21200) This course examines the mutual creation of big science and the American national security state during the Manhattan Project. It presents the atomic bomb project as the center of a new orchestration of scientific, industrial, military and political institutions in everyday American life. Exploring the linkages between military technoscience, nation-building, and concepts of security and international order, this class interrogates one of the foundation structures of the modern world system. J. Masco. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

22500/41000. Introduction to the Anthropology of the Media. This course explores the relationship between anthropology and media studies. On the one hand, we engage with key problematics in the critical study of the media: the role of the media in constituting and contesting publics, their shifting relationships to states and markets, and their implication in hegemonic and counterhegemonic social projects. On the other hand, we explore the ways in which these problematics may have to be reconfigured in the movement beyond the Euro-American contexts of their invention. W. T. S. Mazzarella. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

23101-23102-23103. Introduction to Latin American Civilization I, II, III. (=HIST 16101-16102-16103/36101-36102-36103, LACS 34600-34700-34800, LTAM 16100-16200-16300, SOSC 26100-26200-26300) PQ: Completion of the general education requirement in social sciences. May be taken in sequence or individually. This sequence meets the general education requirement in civilization studies. For course description, see History. A. Kolata, Autumn; D. Borges, Winter; E. Kouri, Spring.

23310. Anthropology of Travel. The objective of this course is to consider how the recognition of "difference" is coordinated through transnational networks of state monitored travel. Focusing upon the movements of colonials and colonial subjects from the eighteenth century to decolonization, in addition to contemporary issues around immigrant, exile, and leisure travel, this course details how travel regulations locally tailor social life. K. Fikes. Spring, 2005.

23400/32500. Military Theory and Practice. (=BPRO 26200) This course introduces classic military theories (i.e., Ibn Khaldun, Machiavelli, Clausewitz, Upton, Lyautey, Mahan, Keegan) and their deployments. It also considers the impact of new technologies on conditions of possibility for coercion. Particular attention is given to anti-colonial and counter-insurgency campaign strategies (i.e., Gandhi, Fanon, Truman, Rostow) and the rise and style of American power, including new concepts and practices of military intervention (e.g., "compellance" theory) being developed in the contemporary U.S. J. Kelly. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

23600. Medicine and Society in Twentieth-Century China. This course is a survey of historical and anthropological approaches to medical knowledge and practice in twentieth-century China. Materials cover early modernizing

debates, medicine and the state, Maoist public health, traditional Chinese medicine, and health and medicine in popular culture. J. Farquhar. Spring, 2005.

23700/33700. Capitalism, Colonialism, and Nationalism in the Pacific. This course compares colonial capitalist projects and their dialogic transformations up to present political dilemmas, with special attention given to Fiji, New Zealand, and Hawaii. We also focus on the labor diaspora, the fates of indigenous polities, and tensions in contemporary citizenship. General propositions about nationalism, "late" capitalism, global cultural flows, and postcolonial subject positions are juxtaposed with contemporary Pacific conflicts. J. Kelly. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

23801/40200. Neoliberal Predicaments: Ethnographic Readings. In the period since 1989, the heralds of the free market have identified the "end of history" in the global triumph of a neoliberal order. Rather than retreating into defensive localism, the neoliberal claim challenges us, as anthropologists, to think critically about the mutually constitutive (and mutually destabilizing) relationships between local projects and global structures. W. T. S. Mazzarella. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

25200/43800. Gender Seminar. S. Gal. Autumn, 2004.

25305. Anthropology of Food and Cuisine. Contemporary human foodways are not only highly differentiated in cultural and social terms, but often have long and complicated histories. Anthropologists have long given attention to food. But, until quite recently, they did so in an unsystematic, haphazard fashion. This course explores several related themes with a view towards both the micro- and macro-politics of food by examining a range of ethnographic and historical case studies and theoretical texts. It takes the format of a seminar augmented by lectures (during the first few weeks), scheduled video screenings, and individual student presentations during the rest of the course. S. Palmié. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

25504/42600. Cultural Politics of Contemporary India. Structured as a close-reading seminar, this class offers an anthropological immersion in the cultural politics of urban India today. A guiding thread in the readings is the question of the ideologies and somatics of shifting "middle class" formations, and their articulation through violence, gender, consumerism, religion, and technoscience. W. T. S. Mazzarella. Spring, 2005.

25505/42605. Gandhi Today: Whatever Happened to the Mahatma? In this seminar, we explore what the struggle over the meaning and value of Gandhi implies for contemporary Indian cultural politics and political cultures.

27500/47500. Semiotics of Culture. This course begins with overview materials that give a contemporary approach to understanding "culture" as inherently semiotic (i.e., mediated by sign phenomena in all modalities of experience). Though influenced in many ways by the analysis of verbal language, the generalization to other "codes and modes" is, in principle, different from such analysis. We examine various proposals for such nonlinguistic analyses in a sampling of recent literature. M. Silverstein. Offered 2005-06; not offered 2004-05.

31800. Religious Movements of Native North America. New Agers essentialize and romanticize Native American religions. Religious beliefs and practices are assumed to be primordial, eternal, and invariable. However, a closer examination reveals that Native American religions are highly dynamic and adaptive, ever reactive to internal pressure and external circumstances. We examine classic accounts of the Ghost Dance, often considered to be the prototypical Native American religious movement; the Handsome Lake Religion among the Senecas; and other Native American religious movements.
