ANT 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: Discourses of Time and the Politics of Hope

4 credits (Spring)
This course considers notions of time as historically contingent and culturally defined. It does so by looking at theoretical models and ethnographic  examples of time as discourse. It then considers how notions of time, particularly the future, are related to hope. Other concepts addresses include: loss,  nostalgia, remembering, and forgetting. Students learn how to discover and foreground multiple histories and narratives about humanity’s pathways, their cosmologies, ways of life, and pleas. 

Prerequisite: ANT 260 , ANT 265 , or ANT 280 .   
Instructor: French
