Document Summary

Prof. michael hathaway: thursday 9:30-10:30 am, aq 5073; Monday 1:15-2:15 pm at harbour centre 2138 (by appointment) or other hours by appointment. Ta offices are in aq 6187 a, b or c-- depending on availability. This course will examine what we mean by culture and cultural anthropology. In this class we will explore a number of topics, such as space, time, and gender, to understand the various ways these have been experienced and lived in different places and times. We will use one anthropology textbook, and two detailed accounts of social life. The first book examines changing notions of self, romance, and marriage in nepal. The second book looks closely at the everyday lives of families in brazilian shanty towns near rio de janeiro. As a class, we will also think about intersections between these readings and our own lives and histories, and gain a broader perspective on difference.
