ANT 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: SOLIDARITY! Ethnographic and Multimodal Approaches to Making Connections.

4 credits (Fall)

This practicum in linguistic and economic anthropology asks how researchers and mediamakers have forged and analyzed connections across social divides. We will consider different communication media and modes as aesthetic, analytical, and political tools. The stakes of language use, ethnographic and documentary film, and novel online platforms offer rich fodder for critical discussion and creative inspiration. How is solidarity built to challenge configurations of power and gross inequality in the face of often overwhelming odds?

Prerequisite: ANT 104, ANT 260, or ANT 265 with grade S, C, or better; and third or fourth-year standing.
