ANTHR-303 Agency and Voice

What are the possibilities of action? Of recognition? This course explores the ways that anthropologists have drawn from the humanities and the social sciences to attempt to answer these questions. Particularly important is work by Peirce and Bakhtin. Neither of these scholars engaged in anthropological methods and, yet, anthropologists have found in their ideas much guidance for thinking about the circulation of culture and the possibilities and predicaments of participation. This course will engage with ethnographic applications.
