CREDIT HOURS: 4 (FOUR)

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

The course is designed to explore the theories and paradigms in visual anthropology by highlighting the artistic/ aesthetic, social scientific, commercial, and political agendas that influence the production of various forms of visual document. Starting from the colonial exhibition of ‘exotic natives’, the course further intends to proceed through photography to classic and contemporary ethnographic film, art, and documentaries with a special focus on Flaherty, Mead, Gardner, Rouch, and MacDougall. The course also offers students practical training in photography and videography.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• Understand photographs, art, painting, and film show and their usages;
• Know how Western culture uses images of non-Western peoples, and the debates about how non-Western peoples use images of themselves;
• Understand the status of visual in contemporary Western society and the social sciences;
• Analyze the bias and stereotypes, stylistic conventions, scientific, commercial, and political agendas influence the choice of recorded images;
• Know how a visual component can be a valuable part of most ethnographic field projects and what makes a photograph or a film ethnographic.UNIT WISE LEARNING OUTCOMES, COURSE CONTENTS, AND NUMBER OF CLASSES PER UNIT

COURSE NUMBER AND TITLE: ANTH 506: HISTORY, MEMORY AND AMNESIA

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE
The course is based on the perspectives of history from below, subaltern and feminist. It tries to add these perspectives to the changing landscape, objectives, and canvas of history. However, starting from a new inquiry, the discipline of history itself could be useful for social science. It will open the window for history and anthropology to exchange their experiences and applications.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
• Understand the politics beyond memory and amnesia;
• Analyze the construction of history;
• Understand the pattern of how one becomes able to memorize something and simultaneously forget the event successfully.
