ANTH 537 01 (10253) T 9.25-11.15 Fall 2009 This course explores the complex relations between expressive culture and the exercise of power. Starting with the works of the Frankfurt School and such authors as Lukács, Debord, Raymond Williams, and Rancière, the course proceeds through a series of thematic steps, examining case studies. We look at Zairean popular music and painting as political critique; the politics of museum and other exhibitionary displays; the question of visibility both as it relates to talk about transparency and conspiracy and as it relates to urban planning. The course ends with several full-length monographs on the performance of secularism in contemporary Turkey, the attribution of agency to architecture in Jerusalem, and the "theater state" in Bali. The course attempts to analyze the politics of artistic creation and the aesthetic elements of political rhetoric and practice as two moments in a dialectical-indeed, dialogical-relation.
