	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	71639	Seminar	G	3:00PM -5:50PM	M	G20 Foreign Languages Building	Marshall, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/26/19-12/11/19 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: The South Caucasus Section Info: Open to graduate students campus-wide. Description: Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, the countries of the South Caucasus, are perhaps best known historically as a geographical (and geological) fault zone "between East and West" that is set against stunning mountain backdrops, imposing stone architecture, and strong traditions of hospitality. This course will take an anthropological perspective on the South Caucasus, drawing on archaeological and ethnographic studies as well as interdisciplinary texts (geography, history, political science, sociology) and media (dance, film, artwork, song) to explore the foundational myths, historical landscapes, and cultures of the South Caucasus from the Paleolithic to the Roman period and the Medieval to the Post-Soviet present. Importantly, we will read and discuss authors and artists from the region and diaspora to critically engage with Western and Russian conceptions of the South Caucasus. Together as a class we will explore the intersection of history, politics, religion, and the arts with identity, ethnicity, and subjectivity. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
