Course Catalog Description:
Dance/performance as practiced/transformed by minority groups in the United States. Migration as a global phenomenon, particularly pertaining to land disputes, labor distribution, political asylum, refugee, and dislocation.
Class Description:
This course is a study of political economy of culture, dance and performance as practiced and transformed by minority groups in the United States, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia. Emphasis is on migration as a sociopolitical, economic, and global phenomenon, particularly pertaining to land and water/ ocean disputes, labor distribution, political tension, asylum/refugee, and dis-placement/dis-location. In this class students are invited to investigate the nature of so-called ethnic (immigrant) practices and diaspora in the context of the politics of transmission, internal and external cultural exchange and "multiculturalism." The course addresses the socio historical perspective of diasporic performance and dance as practiced, developed and performed in the context of the global North and many other locations. The course will also examine dance and performance as practiced and transformed by Native Americans and minority groups in the United States, who are marked as the "ethnic minority body".
