ANTH 2720 - POETICS AND POLITICS OF ETHNOGRAPHY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The 1980s was described as "an experimental moment" in the human sciences and as a time of "crisis of representation" when anthropology has taken a literary, experimental, reflexive, modern, late-modern, postmodern, textualist turn. This seminar examines this experimental moment, its history and anthropological precursors, the critiques that have followed, and the suggestions for the future of ethnography and anthropological writing that have ensued. Readings include a number of recent experimental ethnographies as well as a sample of older "classics".
