Brown University's 10 year of excavations has created a lens through which to examine the complexities of the Nabataeans and their culture. The main information about the Nabataeans comes primarily from their extant monuments. There are also literary and epigraphic sources. This seminar will create a constellation of readable ideas, although we will still be left with many open questions about these people. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Graduate School College Anthropology Department Return to Previous New Search

This seminar deals with contemporary anthropological approaches to intersection of violence, human rights, law, and transnationalism. Readings will focus on the development of a new generation of research in the anthropology of human rights and its implication for rethinking legal anthropology. Anthropology has moved beyond the "cultural relativism" paradigm on to new projects which analyze the appropriation and use of human rights discourse and international norms as political tools for a variety of national and local agendas. Anthropologists have produced ethnographies that focus on the institutional grounding of legal discourse and practice in community and neighborhood politics, social movements, and ethnic nationalist projects. They have studied the radical reworking of rights discourse in different parts of the world and debated the ways in which these technologies for legal redress in the face of violence are politically empowering and/or disempowering in particular historical and cultural circumstances. The design of this syllabus will be a collaborative effort to identify theoretical literatures and important ethnographic experiments that provide novel anthropological framings of these issues which are at once globally and locally inflected. Our goal is to interrogate anthropological writing on the issues, explore its relation to field research, and trace anthropological appropriations of contemporary social theory from a variety of sources. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Graduate School College Anthropology Department Return to Previous New Search
