- Systems of production/distribution, especially in nonindustrial societies. Comparison, history, critique of major theories. Cross-cultural anthropological approach to material life that subsumes market/nonmarket processes.
- Class Notes:
- In this course, we examine the social construction of economic forms and practices globally including production/consumption/distribution, as well as explore the history and critique of major theories of economy. This section of Economy, Culture and Critique has a focus on Queering Capitalism and was developed by the instructor, Jen K. Hughes, with funds from the Steven J. Schochet Foundation for GLBT Studies to increase education, awareness and curriculum around LGBTQ+ lives, issues and scholarship. We use a cross-cultural anthropological approach to material life and conclude by centering queer and queering as potential analytics within anthropologies of economy. Students may make a video, podcast or write a research paper for their final project. Course includes video and in-person discussion sessions with some of the authors we read.
