ANTH 604 - Historical Anthropology

(3) Wright.

Over the past half-century, scholars located in the disciplines of anthropology and history have opened a dialogue between the two disciplines that allows for a sharing of methodologies and an exchange of theoretical approaches. This seminar will explore the ways in which the interstices between anthropology and history provide new space for engaging with culture, history, and the production of knowledge. We will explore how researchers work in between the two disciplines, and we will learn how contemporary scholars use anthro/historical perspectives.
