Cornell University - ANTHR 4264 Zooarchaeological Interpretation (also ARKEO 4264) (PBS Supplementary List)

This course follows from last semester’s Zooarchaeological Method. We will shift our emphasis here from basic skills to interpretation, although you will continue to work with archaeological bones. We will begin by examining topics surrounding the basic interpretation of raw faunal data: sampling, quantification, taphonomy, seasonality. We will then explore how to use faunal data to reconstruct subsistence patterns, social structure, and human/animal relations.

Cornell University - ANTHR 4272 Historical Archaeology of Indigenous Peoples (also AMST 6272, ANTHR/ARKEO 7272, ARKEO/AMST 4272) # (HA-AS)

This seminar uses archaeology to examine the responses of nonstate indigenous peoples across the world to European expansion and colonialism over the past 500 years. Archaeology provides a perspective on indigenous lives that both supplements and challenges document-based histories. We will assess the strengths and weaknesses of various theories of culture contact, and explore a series of archaeological case studies, using examples primarily from North America with lesser emphasis on Africa and the Pacific. The seminar provides a comparative perspective on indigenous-colonial relationships, in particular exploring the hard-fought spaces of relative autonomy created and sustained by indigenous peoples.

Cornell University - ANTHR 4294 Seminar in Archaeology: The Archaeology of Human Origins (also ARKEO 4294) (HA-AS)

An exploration of the archaeological record associated with early modern and near-modern humans as well as their nonmodern contemporaries, such as the Neanderthals. Major issues include: what behaviors and capabilities are indicated for various populations, and how and why did these change over the course of the later Pleistocene? To what extent does the archaeological record support the “Out-of-Africa” hypothesis of a recent, African origin for all modern humans?

Cornell University - ANTHR 4419 Anthropology of Corporations (also ANTHR 7419) (SBA-AS)

This course develops an anthropological approach to corporations with a focus on large, profit-oriented, publicly traded corporations. To denaturalize the corporation, we will consider competing cultural logics internal to corporations as well as the contingent historical processes and debates that shaped the corporate form over the past two centuries. The course will examine processes through which various social groups have sought to alter and restrain corporations as well as reciprocal corporate attempts to reshape the social environment in which they operate.

Cornell University - ANTHR 4426 Ideology and Social Production (also ANTHR 7426) @ (SBA-AS)

This course is premised on the notion that understanding social life requires understanding how social institutions are produced and sustained through time—that is to say, one must understand “society” as a process of production. By the same token, all cultures produce ideas or “representation” (e.g., about reality, nature, society, gender, authority) that serve to legitimize or validate each society’s particular social arrangements. These ideologies play an important role in social production, on the one hand, and are also products of social processes, on the other. This course focuses on the linkages between ideology and social production in readings drawn from social theory and ethnographic case studies. We discuss strongly diverging views (psychoanalytic, postmodernist, poststructuralist, practice-theory, neo-Marxist) on how best to conceive social processes. An integrating theme is that understanding ideology and its alienating operations is essential in developing a coherent understanding of what culture, in the last analysis, is.

Cornell University - ANTHR 4429 Anthropology and Psychoanalysis (also ANTHR 7429) @ (SBA-AS)

Psychoanalysis holds that desire emerges from the clash between individuals’ predisposition and the need to accommodate to others in society. Yes anthropology has been resistant to the role that psychoanalytic theory might play in linking individual desire to culture. Does psychoanalysis have anything to offer cultural anthropology? Can understanding of collective institutions be advanced with reference to theories of individual motivation and desire? Conversely, can collective life be understood without reference to individual motivation and desire? Is desire best understood as sexual in nature, or is it better understood in more abstract and existential terms. With such questions in mind, this course surveys anthropology’s engagements with psychoanalysis. We read theoretical works as well as ethnographically grounded case studies on topics ranging from religious experience, mythic narratives, the cultural construction of gender and desire, and modern popular culture.

Cornell University - ANTHR 4439 Sovereignty and Biopolitics @ # (CA-AS)

This seminar course’s starting point is Agamben’s widely discussed ideas about “bare life” in relation to modern state sovereignty and to continuities with earlier forms of sovereignty. The course unfolds as a political-legal anthropology of sovereignty and citizenship, the exclusion of undesirables, and modern biopolitical control mechanisms. Readings will draw on classics from the anthropology and other literature on sovereignty and kingship, as well as case studies dealing with the modern Chinese state, the United States, the Soviet Union, etc.

Cornell University - ANTHR 4513 Religion and Politics in Southeast Asia (also ASIAN 4413) @ (CA-AS)

This course explores how religious beliefs and practices in Southeast Asia have been transformed by the combined forces of colonialism, nationalism, and globalization. By examining both diversity and resurgence in one of the world’s most rapidly modernizing regions, we aim to understand the common economic, social, and political conditions that are contributing to the popularity of contemporary religious movements. At the same time, we also consider the unique ideological, theological, and cultural understandings behind different religions and movements. Through this process we also rethink conceptions of modernity.

Cornell University - ANTHR 4523 Making History on the Margins: The China–SE Asia Borderlands (also ANTHR 7523) # @ (HA-AS)

This seminar course is a new in-depth look at classical issues regarding the making of history, revisiting the mountain borderlands in between China and Southeast Asia made famous by anthropologists (Leach, Lévi-Strauss, Kirch, and Friedman) attempting to understand structure, history, and center-periphery transformations. Are the peoples of this region (Kachin, Wa, Naga, etc. predetermined by fateful forces and processes beyond their control, as prisoners of geography and circumstance, or what role do they have in the making of their own history? The course addresses themes from regional ethnography as well as theoretical issues, and forms an introduction to field research in this fertile region.
