Section Info:
Topic: Latina/os in the Anthropological and Literary Landscape. A major goal of this course is to provide students with various theoretical and methodological perspectives and insights regarding the construction of ethnic and racial difference in American society. It builds on the more traditional approach to ethnicity by offering an in-depth look at the construction of stereotypical imagery of self and other. By focusing on the ways by which Latino/Latina identities are constructed as compared to other ethnic and racial groups in American society, students explore the relationship between symbolic representations and complex social processes in historical and contemporary contexts. The course is structured around four key areas. These include: 1) historical imagery and representation, 2) anthropological theory, method and representation, 3) seeking new directions in theory, method and practice and 4) multiple ways of representing self/other as Latinos/Latinas represent themselves.
