Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
At the same time as anthropology moves away from essentializing notions such as "culture" or "ethnicity", indigenous and other marginalized groups discover them as tools, weapons, and commodities. The course will explore these uses of "culture" and related notions. The title of the course is a reference to a Comaroffs' "Ethnicity, Inc.," which will serve as a starting point for discussions.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written term paper; oral presentations of articles and/or discussion leadership; critical book review; participation.
