ANTH 80900: The African Diaspora & Nation Formation in Latin America and the Caribbean
GC: M: 2:00-4:00pm, 3 credits, Rm. TBA, Prof. Julie Skurski
Fulfills area requirement for Cultural & Linguistic Anthropology subfields. Cross-listed with AFCP and WSCP. 
This seminar examines the social formation of Latin American nations from the perspective of the African diaspora. While over ten times as many enslaved Africans were brought to Spanish and Portuguese America as to the United States, the concept of Afro-Latin America and the study of the African diaspora’s presence in Latin American societies have only recently gained widespread attention. The emergence of scholarly work is related to the rise of Afro-descendant organizations and movements that have asserted claims to land, rights, and recognition as full citizens. These assertions are linked to the growing recognition of afro-descendant cultural practices-- including in the realms of music, the arts, and religion--as having national and transnational significance.

In this course we will draw on scholars who have problematized national ideologies of racial mixing and who have traced the erasures and inequalities that it has helped create. We will examine the colonial establishment of regimes of racial classification and control, the Haitian revolution, afro-descendant insurgencies in countries such as Cuba, the racialization of spaces and activities with the rise of modernization projects, and assertions of rights among afro-descendant peoples facing dispossession and repression in a range of countries, including the Afro-Pacific communities of Colombia, the Garifuna of Honduras, and social movements in Brazil. We will use ethnographic, visual, and musical materials, and will discuss Afro-descendant spiritual practices and cultural forms.

GC: TH. 2:00-4:00pm, Rm. TBA, 3credits, Prof. Setha Low. Remote dates TBA. 
This section open to GC Anthropology doctoral students only. Seats are limited. Cross listed w. EES 79903, WSCP 81000.
This seminar explores the beach—the liminal space between land and water--as a site of racial exclusion, environmental and cultural vulnerability and the privatization.  Beaches, that in the US and most of the world, are considered a public resource for everything from recreation to a workplace, are increasingly being closed off.  In the US historically racial exclusion made it difficult, if impossible, for POC to use their traditional spaces and Black beaches were taken by eminent domain and developed for solely white use.  Today, exclusions include anyone who might want to fish, sunbath, walk, or rest on public land that has private owners nearby who use illiberal means to restrict access.  Planning and design of towns with beaches has further these exclusionary practices. 
Equally important, beaches are fragile ecological spaces and increasingly being misused and misappropriated, closing them off to people who need them to a living.  Issues of sexuality, sexual orientation, body practices, religion, and many other kinds of exclusions continue to plague strategies has accelerated the inbility to access places that were once foundational for those who lived there.

ANTH 82000 [ ]: The Politics of Care: Abolition, Commoning, Reaction [In-Person]   
GC: TH. 4:15pm - 6:15pm, Rm. TBA, 3 credits, Profs. Miriam Ticktin and Jeff Maskovsky
Instructor permission required. Students should email ONE paragraph, explaining how the course fits into their scholarly endeavors, to Jmaskovsky@gc.cuny.edu and Mticktin@gc.cuny.edu
This seminar will examine the ethics and politics of care. We will consider care as an affective state, a form of practice, and an ethicopolitical obligation. But we will not begin with the presumption that care is a self-evident good, or that it is ever innocent or free from violence. Nor is our goal to posit a definitive theory of care. Rather, we will treat care as we and our informants often do in our everyday lives: as a problematic concerning the distribution of political and moral responsibility across social, cultural, political and economic boundaries. We will thus use the concept as a springboard into the theoretical and ethnographic exploration of political and ethical life and of different governing regimes of life itself. While care can be thought about in relation to humanitarianism, repair work, extinction, social reproduction, and other topics, after introducing the concept, we will focus on three political approaches to care that are particularly prominent today: care as a form of abolitionist politics; care in relation to the creation of the commons; and reactions against these and other political projects of care, which include ecofascism, survivalist groups, eugenics, militias, and the broader politics of white community resentment. Part of this will involve exploring why care has surfaced recently as both an object of ethnographic inquiry and a new moral and political imperative. We are interested in how care creates new political subjects and collective formations, how it creates forms of relationality (and not just moral dispositions), and how political imagination figures in these forms of care.


ANTH 82100 [ ]: Reading Leith Mullings: Black Feminist Materialism for the 21st century [In-Person]

GC: TH. 4:15-6:15pm, Rm. TBA, 3 credits, Prof. Matthew Reilly 

ANTH 84400 [ ]: Heritage Pragmatics [In-Person]   
GC: T. 11:45am-1:45pm, Rm TBA, 3 credits, Prof. Alexander Bauer
The concept of “heritage” has in recent years become a catchword so broad—and invoked across so many contexts and disciplines—that its meaning has become both fragmented and diffuse. At the same time, renewed urgency for removing monuments to White supremacy and redressing the legacies of colonialism have brought widespread attention to the power of images and the ways that heritage acts both to bind communities together and construct boundaries between them. This class seeks to examine how we approach and examine heritage’s itineraries and pragmatics—its practical effects in the world—in both the discourses and rhetorics of heritage (how is heritage invoked and talked about) and in what heritage does when it is invoked, encountered, and circulated.
The first part of the class will consist of the reading and discussion of old and new texts on pragmatism in philosophy, law, history, and anthropology, including works by and on Peirce, Dewey, DuBois, Rorty, West, and Posner. The second part of the class will consider applications of a pragmatic approach to questions of heritage, and assess its implications for heritage practice more broadly.

ANTH 70900 - Anthropology and Media
GC:   W. 4:15 – 6:15pm, 3 credits, Prof. Christa Salamandra  
Anthropology and Media foregrounds the discipline’s unique contribution to media studies. The seminar traces various methodological and textual approaches to media ethnography, with particular attention to the production, consumption, and circulation of mediated culture mass-mediated forms. We will explore the politics of production, structures of labor, contexts of consumption, contingencies of framing, digital activism, and online networking. Case studies draw on various geographic regions, media forms, and professional contexts, including: Hollywood and Bollywood producers; crime reporting and security discourses in Argentina; development-funded television in Afghanistan; reconfigurations of citizenship and belonging among Eritrean migrants; race and counter-publics of resistance in the US; independent filmmaking and the state in Korea; liminality and (counter)revolution in Egypt; mobile phones, youth, and intimacy in Mozambique; the politics of image circulation in Indonesia; and pro-regime media making in Iran. Book-length studies are assigned to generate reflection on the craft of ethnographic writing, and to inspire and enhance fieldwork design. 

ANTH 71000 – Anthropology of Science and Medicine
GC: TH. 2:00 - 4:00pm, 3 credits, Prof. Murphy Halliburton 
Discourses and practices of science and medicine remained bracketed off from sociocultural analysis in anthropology and related fields until the 1970s and 1980s. In the last four decades though, science and medicine have been examined by anthropologists and scholars in the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies as social practices subject to the same interpolations with history, culture, and social inequalities as more traditional subjects of anthropological analysis such as gender, politics, or religion. Anthropologists have written ethnographies of peoples and practices that range from nuclear physicists to brain scanning technologies to nonwestern medical systems to the use of psychopharmaceuticals. This class provides an introduction to formative works in the anthropology of science and medical anthropology and examines contemporary work that engage with topics at the intersection of these fields such as controversies over genetics and eugenics. In addition to readings that will represent different theoretical approaches in diverse global settings, students will be choosing an ethnography from the field of the anthropology of science or medicine that fits their research interests to write on and present in class.
