ANTH272: Re-negotiating Identity: Ethnicity, Diaspora and Nationalism |
How is cultural identity shaped and re-shaped by the discourses and social practices associated with notions of 'ethnicity', nationhood and translational flow of diasporas? This course examines the way in which immigrants and networks of diasporas negotiate social transformation, and their exclusion and inclusion in every day life and as citizens. We examine the way nations and ethnic groups have historically foregrounded the bodies of women in forging notions of cultural continuity and identity. The course will critically examine media representations on gender, ethnicity and age, and also deal with the cultural negotiation of identity across generations.
