ANTH 414
Fall 2008 All Classes
Credit: 3 OR 4 hours.
Many scholars now question the unbroachable theoretical divide between the humanities and the social sciences, the unique authority of the scholar/author, and the invisibility of the reader in producing scholarly texts. Focusing on the ways in which scholars are also authors, we explore current debates by reading a selection of contemporary anthropological texts (and some prescient precursors) that boldly experiment with how ethnography is written. Students will try their hand at experimenting with several ethnographic writing styles themselves.
3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: This course is especially designed for undergraduate students who have already taken at least one 300-level course in cultural anthropology, and graduate students in cultural anthropology, writing studies, and education. Other students should contact the instructor.
