Section Info:
Topic: "Global Borderlands: Transnational Migrations, New Imaginaries, and Neoliberalism." (Meets with ANTH 499) The intensification and reconfiguration of global capitalism, the collapsing of time and space through cutting edge technologies, and---of central importance to this course---the vast movements of populations across international boundaries, have reoriented academic and political discourses towards geographic conceptualizations of culture and politics, reflected in such terminology as enclosures, borders, territorializations, and deterritorializations. Perhaps the most salient characteristics of "globalization" has been the uneven effects of these processes across the continents, and for the purposes of this course primarily through and between the United States and Mexico. More than any other time in history of the world, wealth is disproportionately in the hands of the few primarily in the United States. This course explores whether such convergences spark critical, new political thinking and new political subjects. Its primary focus will be the relationships between globalization(s) and critical knowledge productions in the US and Mexico. Special emphasis will be placed on the intersections of knowledge production, migrations, and social movements; as well as borders and policing.
