本课程的主要目的是向学生介绍文化，力量和身份之间的关系，并研究人类学家如何在不同的社会和文化环境中掌握，理解和撰写这些问题。为了批判性地研究和研究世界各地的人民和文化，我们将特别关注那些在概念上被归类为社会不平等和暴力的过程。本课程分为两个主要部分。在第一部分，题为“文化/权力/身份”，我们将借鉴一些民族志著作和电影，这些著作和电影着重于社会不平等和因种族，阶级，种族，世代和性别差异而形成的关系。该课程的后半部分被广泛称为“全球聚会”，将探讨全球进程对世界人民和文化产生的众多影响。在这里，我们将研究新自由
The main goal of this class is to introduce students to the relationship between culture, power, and identities and to examine how anthropologists have been grasping, understanding, and writing about these issues in diverse social and cultural settings. In order to critically approach and study peoples and cultures around the world, we will especially focus on the processes that have been conceptually grouped under the rubric of social inequality and violence. This class is divided into two main parts. In the first part, titled ''Culture/Power/Identities'' we will draw on a number of ethnographic writings and films that focus on the basis of social inequality and relationships shaped by differences of race, class, ethnicity, generation and gender. The second half of class, broadly titled ''Global Assemblages,'' will address numerous effects that global process have had on peoples and cultures of the world. Here we will investigate the phenomena such as neoliberalism, tourism, organ trafficking, commercial surrogacy, and war and peace, and we will critically examine the emerging forms of social inequality that these global processes generate.
