ADDED CLASS: CCN 02947
ANTHRO 227: HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY RESEARCH: "HISTORICAL MATERIALS ANALYSIS"
L. Wilkie, 4 units, M 10-12, 55 Kroeber
 
The seminar this semester will be limited to advanced graduate student research.
 
 
ADDED CLASS: CCN 03512
ANTHRO 228B: MULTI MEDIA AUTHORING IN ARCHAEOLOGY 
R. Tringham, 4 units, M 1-3 and T 3-6, 2224 Piedmont (note change of room)
 
This course is designed to provide an opportunity for graduate students to experience what it is like to be the mediator rather than the transmitter of archaeological knowledge to children. Through the medium of this class you will be able to put into practice many of the themes of multivocality and public responsibility that have recently become important in courses on archaeological method and theory and in the public forums on archaeology.
 
The students of this course will participate in the recently funded ARF/Oakland Archaeology Project. This project is designed to have University of California, Berkeley archaeology graduate students and faculty participate in the development of teaching archaeology and multimedia technology to sixth graders in Roosevelt Middle School, Oakland. It is a collaborative venture of the Interactive University of UC Berkeley, the Oakland Unified School District, and the Archaeological Research Facility of UC Berkeley. The program is directed by Professor Ruth Tringham and managed by Amy Ramsay. This course is an essential preparatory and facilitating step in fulfilling the goals of the ARF/Oakland Archaeology Project.
 
The ARF/Oakland Archaeology Project is designed to bring the archaeological experience to sixth graders through the medium of multimedia technology--multimedia authoring, WWWeb browsing, Virtual Reality Interactive games, etc. The graduate student participation will be carried out as part of the normal classroom activities for the sixth grade Core Values Social Studies curriculum. The Core Values program is a fairly recent development in California schools. It is interesting in that it is trying to introduce a more "constructivist" view of history in which the multivocal construction of the past, through documents and archaeological research, is as important an aim as the "discovery of the past". The sixth grade is the age at which--through the Core Values curriculum for Ancient Civilizations--children are first introduced to archaeology.
 
The graduate students in this program will be expected to participate in one period per week per class (2 periods total per student) in the partnered schools, and with their partner teacher, guide the children through the mass of archaeological data on the WWWeb and in their guidebooks with the help of multimedia technology and various activities, such as role-playing exercises and contact with actual materials.
 
The students of Anthropology 228B will work in close collaboration with the Undergraduate Student Section (Anthropology 135B), in which students will be mentoring many of the same sixth grade children in an after-school context. The challenge for the students of Anthro 228B is to work creatively within the constraints of the requirements of the Core Values curriculum in terms of content. Issues of pedagogy as well as class content will form the themes of the class discussions.
 
Requirements: This course is essentially a practical research/service-learning course. An enthusiastic and energetic participation in the teaching program of the Roosevelt School Core Values curriculum is a required part of the course. Each student will be part of the course term project to evaluate the introduction of multimedia authoring and the archaeological experience to sixth-graders. You will be expected to keep a running log/journal of your observations. Instructions in making these observations and making evaluations will be given during the course.
 
A stipend to cover the expenses of travel to the Roosevelt School will be provided to each participant.
 
Prerequisites: Graduate students with some experience of archaeology are preferred. Students from other departments may also apply; bilingual students are especially encouraged to apply. Participation is subject to the permission of the instructor. If you have taken previous Multimedia Authoring for Archaeology classes, this would be greatly to your advantage. Those who have not had any multimedia technology background will be assisted in catching up through self-paced tutorials held in the Multimedia Authoring Center for Teaching in Anthropology (MACTIA) in 2224 Piedmont. Access to an email and Internet account are essential prerequisites, since an important component of the course will be frequent consultation of the Course WWWeb Site.
 
 
ANTHRO 229-A: ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH STRATEGIES
M. Conkey/L. Wilkie, 4 units, W 2-5, rm. 101, 2251 College
 
This graduate seminar is REQUIRED for all first and second-year graduate students in archaeology. It is open to other students in anthropology and in other departments who are interested in the history and theory of archaeological practice. Particular attention in the seminar will be given to the Anglo-American tradition of archaeological practice, although other intellectual regions will be considered, depending upon the areas of student interest and research. In particular we shall focus on the emergence and specification of the so-called "ecological-evolutionary" paradigm: how and why it came to take the form(s) that it did, what issues and approaches were precluded or marginalized, what "gains" it has achieved, and how and why it set the stage for the various "post-processualist" types or archaeology that have emerged recently. There will be regular discussions and extensive reading. Students are expected to attend all classes, to participate and to be prepared. In addition, one major research paper (20-25 pages long) and probably a few debate presentations will be required during the course of the semester.
 
 
ANTHRO 230-1: SPECIAL TOPICS IN ARCHAEOLOGY: "GEOARCHAELOLOGY"
P. Kirch, 4 units, W 10-12, rm. 101, 2251 College
 
CANCELLED.
 
 
ANTHRO 230-2: SPECIAL TOPICS IN ARCHAEOLOGY: "ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF COMPLEX HUNTER GATHERERS: SUBSISTENCE, SETTLEMENT AND SOCIAL INEQUALITY"
J. Habu, 4 units, Th 12-2, rm. 101, 2251 College
 
One of the main foci of recent prehistoric archaeology is the study of hunter-gatherer sedentism and its relation to the development of social inequality. The goal of this seminar, therefore, is to review current theoretical and methodological issues in the archaeological research of hunter-gatherer sedentism and cultural complexity. The seminar will be considering relations between subsistence strategies, settlement patterns, population growth and social stratification among hunter-gatherers. The seminar will also discuss methodological problems in identifying the degree of sedentism using archaeological data. Case studies to be discussed will include those from the Northwest Coast of North America, California, the Arctic, Europe and Asia.
 
Requirements: Course requirements include oral presentations and a final paper.
 
Readings: Weekly readings will be assigned on thematic topics.
 
 
ANTHRO 240A: FUNDAMENTALS OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL THEORY
L. Cohen/ P. Rabinow, 5 units, T 11-2 in 101, 2251 College and Th 12-2 in 122 Barrows (Note changes.)
 
This seminar deals with central issues in socio-cultural anthropology: the conceptualization of culture and society, concepts and controversies associated with fieldwork and ethnography, the dimensions of time, space and history, issues of power and knowledge and the meaning of comparison in anthropology. These issues are explored within various traditions: evolutionary, historical, structural-functional, materialist, symbolic, etc. mainly in U.S. and European traditions. The course ends just short of the current and continuing debates in the field which will be taken up in the 240B graduate seminar in spring semester.
 
This seminar is required of all first-year graduate students in Social/Cultural Anthropology. It will focus on major ideas in social/cultural anthropology. The course is restricted to graduate students in Anthropology, Medical Anthropology, and Demography.
 
 
ANTHRO 250A: PSYCHOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: "FREUD, BENJAMIN AND ANTHROPOLOGY"
S. Pandolfo, 4 units, M 12-2, rm. 101, 2251 College
 
Description not available.
 
 
ANTHRO 250C: TRANSNATIONALISM
A. Ong, 4 units. M 12-2, rm. 15, 115 Kroeber (note change of room)
 
It makes sense to review theories on nationalism and transnationalism together, since they are related phenomena, and our understanding of one shapes our understanding of the other. This seminar will interrogate and assess the universalizing theories of modernity, nationalism, and globalization, and to consider what kinds of interventions anthropologists can make in the conversation, especially from locations and cultures that take counter-positions to naturalizing and universalizing categories based on Enlightenment assumptions. The goal is to provincialize Europe and its universalizing theories.
 
Studies of nationalism and transnationalism represent the latest attempt within anthropology to a) reconcile the split between symbolic and materialist formulations, and b) to intervene, through a mix of political economy and cultural politics, in the discussion of globalization. They also explore and creatively rethink Marxist theory, Foucaultian analytic and cultural analysis in order to produce a model of complexity, articulation, uneven development, and multiple determinations in worlds that are at once local and inescapably global.
 
Requirements: Priority is given to graduate students in Berkeley anthropology. Students are expected to make class presentations and to write a research paper (which can be based on research already under way). No incompletes accepted.
 
 
ANTHRO 250G-1: SOCIAL ISSUES AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL ETHICS: "ETHICS AFTER HUMANISM: FOCAULT AND HEIDEGGER"
P. Rabinow, 4 units, W 2-5, 56 Barrows
 
CANCELLED.
 
 
ANTHRO 250G-2: "SOCIAL ISSUES AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL ETHICS: "ETHICS AND RESPONSIBILITY IN CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY"
G. Berreman, 4 units, Th 10-12, rm. 15, 2224 Piedmont
 
This year the seminar will address the issues of ETHICS AND RESPONSIBILITY IN ANTHROPOLOGY, in their contemporary manifestations and their historical dimension. Special attention will be paid to anthropology and anthropologists as they relate to: colonialism and neo-colonialism; the third world; national, transnational and multi-national corporations; the United States' CIA, AID, State Department, Defense Department, Information Agency, etc.; sources of funding public and private, foreign and domestic; United Nations; religious and secular charitable and public interest organizations; American Anthropological Assn., especially its Committee on Ethics; ethical controversies in anthropology; Practicing and Applied Anthropology; Protection of Human Subjects requirements; Statement of Professional Responsibility, its enforcement proposals for its revision; public interest anthropology and who does it (Anthropology Resource Center, Cultural Survival, Survival International, International Work Group on Indigenous Affairs, etc.); indigenous responses to research; anthropologists as advisers to indigenous peoples; the politics of research. Specific examples of ethical issues, dilemmas and transgressions will be studied and discussed. Two or three short papers will be required. The primary work of the seminar will be discussion of readings.
 
A xeroxed reader may be available. Some of the books we are likely to use as resources (but not as required purchases) are: Thomas Weaver, To See Ourselves: Anthropology and Modern Social Issues; John Bodley, Victims of Progress, and Anthropology and Contemporary Human Problems; Shelton Davis, Victims of the Miracle; Dell Hymes (ed.), Reinventing Anthropology; Gerald Berreman, The Politics of Truth: Essays in Critical Anthropology; Ralph Beals, Politics of Social Research; Talal Asad, Anthropology and the Colonial Encounter; John A.

Social Science, Privacy and Ethics; Edward Diener & Rick Crandall, Ethics in Social and Behavioral Research; Robert Bower & Priscilla de Gasparis, Ethics in Social Research: Protecting the Interests of Human Subjects; Myron Glazer, The Research Adventure: Promise and Problems of Research; C.W. Mills, The Sociological Imagination.
 
Serial publications that will be consulted include: IWGIA Documents series; Anthropology Resource Center publications; Practicing Anthropology; Human Organization, etc., etc. Many of the Xeroxed readings will be drawn from various of the above-cited books and serials.
 
 
ANTHRO 250S: MATERIAL CULTURE
M. Ferme 4 units M 12-2 122 Barrows
 
This seminar will focus on the production and negotiation of value, which, as Simmel pointed out in The Philosophy of Money, is always at once economic and aesthetic. Value is produced by social labor of different kinds, which have multiplied in the current world system, characterized by disjunctures in the global flows of people and objects in the absence of stable "centers" and "peripheries" (Appadurai). Thus social labor is no longer limited to the forms discussed by Marx in Capital, but in contemporary settings also takes, among others, imaginary forms.
One of the seminar's main themes will be the articulation of value with currencies and commodities. Another will be the relationship between commoditization and resistance to it, particular historical and socio-political contexts, do commodities become gifts, and vice versa? In addition to objects, how do human beings mediating particular social relations become "commodities," or gifts of sorts (for example, the commoditization of people in the slave trade, or the "giving" of women in Lévi-Strauss's exchange model of marriage)?
 
Requirements: Seminar participants should be prepared to attend regularly, be responsible for leading one session, and write a final research paper. The presentations and writing project should take the seminar readings as points of departure, but should also contain original research material on historical and/or contemporary cases illustrating the social processes analyzed in theoretical terms through the literature.
 
Readings: In addition to the authors mentioned above, readings will include books by Nancy Munn, Marilyn Strathern, Marcel Mauss, C.A. Gregory, as well as a set of secondary articles relating to the major themes treated by these authors.
 
 
ANTHRO 250X-1: SPECIAL TOPICS IN SOCIAL/CULTURAL: "ORIENTALISM, OCCIDENTALISMS AND CONTROL"
L. Nader, 4 units, W 12-2, rm. 15, 2224 Piedmont
 
This seminar will explore the ways in which East and West define each other to create their own special identity. Topics include the use of gender, development, modernization, religion, law, science/technology as categories crucial to a critical understanding of both "orientalism" and "occidentalism" in relation to hierarchy and control.
 
During the first part of the seminar readings will be discussed in seminar time and different participants will be designated to lead the discussions. Possible topics for papers should emerge from these discussions. The latter part of the seminar will include presentations of student research papers. The seminar will be structured by means of four topics: 1) the critique of the study of others; 2) the ubiquitous interest in other peoples that was part of the human experience long before there were social sciences; 3) 20th century views of the peoples of other civilizations--western, Islamic, Indian, Chinese, Japanese; and 4) the reactions and consequences of the present global interaction between civilizations of differing power positions.
 
Readings:
E. Said, Orientalism.
J. Abu-lughod, Before Pre-European Hegemony.
A. Maalouf, The Crusades through Arab Eyes.
 
 
ANTHRO 250X-2: SPECIAL TOPICS IN SOCIAL/CULTURAL:
"VIOLENCE, GENOCIDE AND SOCIAL SUFFERING"
N. Scheper-Hughes, 4 units, T 2-4, rm. 15, 2224 Piedmont (Note time change.)
P. Bourgois; UCSF Medical Anthropology Program
 
This seminar is designed as an advanced study group for a select group of graduate students (particularly in medical and socio-cultural anthropology) whose doctoral research concerns social and political violence. Admission by permission of instructor. The instructor will set an initial agenda for readings and discussion, but seminar participants may intervene with alternative and additional suggested readings. The last three meetings will be devoted to research design and proposal writing related to the topic of violence. The seminar will continually juxtapose the routine, the ordinary, the expected violence of everyday life ("terror as usual") against the sudden eruption of unexpected, extraordinary, "expressive" or "gratuitous" violence: genocide, state violence in the form of 'dirty wars' against citizens; vigilante and organized criminal violence. Seminar will explore various social theories of explanation and will explore relations between political and criminal violence; between state violence and revolutionary violence, between 'organized' and 'mob' violence; race violence, sexual, and gender violence and the links between individual and state violence. The seminar will conclude with readings on remorse and reparation, truth and justice commissions, and on other forums established promote recovery and healing from violence, torture, and political trauma.
 
Requirements: Active participation in discussions and submission of critical reaction papers responding to the week's readings. A research paper or a field statement or a research proposal related to the anthropology of violence, social suffering and/or genocide.
 
Readings: Readings will include books and essays by, among others Hannah Arendt, Anton Blok, F. Fanon, Walter Benjamin, Z. Bauman, Daniel Goldhagen, Primo Levi, P. Gorevitch, Michael Ignattieff, David Reiff, Claudia Koonz, C. Enloe, Stanley Tambiah, Michael Taussig, D. Rejali, Lisa Malkki, Bruce Kapferer, Veena Das, W. Churchill, James Gilligan, Rian Milan, Lawrence Weschler, Albie Sachs, M. Feitlowitz, etc.
 
 
ANTHRO 250X-3: SPECIAL TOPICS IN SOCIAL/CULTURAL:
"RACE, NATURE, AND THE POLITICS OF DIFFERENCE"
D. Moore, 4 units, Th 4-7, rm. 101, 2251 College
 
Notions of race, nature, and cultural difference are constitutive foundations of modern nations, publics, and populations, yet rarely are their complex articulations fully mapped. This graduate seminar explores these contentious cultural politics, attending to historically specific processes of racialization and naturalization. How have cultural differences and social inequalities become understood to inhere in racial essences and fixed nature? What notions of race, nature, and difference have operated to secure, legitimate, or challenge prevailing formations? What are the political implications of the racialized traffic between nature and culture? We address these questions through historical and ethnographic material, as well as prominent theoretical approaches, with special attention to anthropology's complicities, as well as critical interventions, within these politics of difference.
 
Course themes include: Racial Taxonomies and the Enlightenment; Bodies, Flesh, and Masks of Difference; From Savage to Negro (Anthropology's Racial Imaginary); Blood, Disease, and Identity; Visual Economies of Race; Race, Nature, and Gender; Ecofeminist Natures; Whiteness; Mestizaje and Race Mixture; Body Politics and Differences that Matter; Nations and Naturalization; Indigeneity and the Savage Slot; Wild Tribes and Untamed Nature.
 
Readings will include writings by, among others: Ann Stoler, Sander Gilman, Immanuel Kant, Frantz Fanon, Stuart Hall, Donna Haraway, Hortense Spillers, Lee Baker, Paul Gilroy, Peter Wade, Brackette Williams, Diane Nelson, Alcida Ramos, Ajay Skaria, Kamala Visweswaran, Lisa Lowe, Melbourne Tapper, Keith Wailoo, Saul Dubow, Noel Sturgeon, Diana Fuss, Ruth Frankenburg, Robert Gordon, and Hazel Carby.
 
 
ANTHRO 250X-4: SPECIAL TOPICS IN SOCIAL/CULTURAL:
"HISTORY AND ETHNOGRAPHIC IMAGINATION"
X. Liu, 4 units, W 2-4, rm. 15, 2224 Piedmont (Note time change.)
 
The idea of history, understood in a general sense, is not alien to anthropologists. However, several dominant models of anthropological inquiry developed in this century presupposed an unquestionable "ethnographic present," i.e., the presence of an Other in space as a trace of the past of the West (see J. Fabian 1983). Theoretical debates in the past two decades have not only posed the question of the relationship of power between the subject of writing and the writing subject, but also challenged any static conception of other societies or cultures. It is in such a context that the question of ethnographic imagination of history has been raised. One must also note that, in the general spirit of poststructuralist inquiry, the notion of history itself has become a site of theoretical debates. The purpose of this seminar is to focus on what anthropologists have done in recent years in trying to understand cultural production in and as historical processes. By closely reading a number of what may be called historical ethnography, this seminar tries to achieve three goals: first, to look into anthropological discussions of encountering experiences between cultures or societies, particularly between, to adopt a phrase from Eric Wolf, "Europe and the people without history;" second, to examine the problem of subjectivity and agency, in order to relate our discussion to a wider scope of theoretical debates on the nature of history; third, to trace the changes that have taken place in the discipline of anthropology in the past two decades.

ANTHRO 260: PROBLEMS IN FOLKLORE: "FOOD AND CULTURE"
J. Michael, 4 units, W 10-12, 180 Barrows
 
From Thanksgiving dinner to Breakfast at Tiffany's, food events, implements, beliefs, and images pervade and structure human lives. Food communicates and symbolizes, structures social relationships, and provides rich opportunities for artistic expression and improvisation. We use food to think about, express, and control our various identities (ethnic, regional, religious, personal) to link ourselves with those like us, and to define those we consider unlike. Food may serve as weapon or gift, instrument of power, token of exchange, ritual offering or mode of performance. Drawing on examples from diverse cultural settings, this course will examine some of the ways in which aspects of our material, social and cultural worlds converge in food. Possible topics include: material culture of food, table manners, festivity and ritual, food as performance, eating disorders, diets and nutrition, cookbooks, culinary tourism, and the erotics of eating.
 
 
ANTHRO 280X: SPECIAL TOPICS IN AREA STUDIES: "CULTURE, POWER, AND IDENTITY AFTER SOCIALISM: SOCIAL AND CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION IN POST-SOCIALIST EASTERN EUROPE AND THE FORMER SOVIET UNION"
A. Yurchak, 4 units, F 12-2, rm. 15, 2224 Piedmont
 
The course will focus on the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union that until recently constituted the socialist bloc. We will explore the transformations of social and cultural logics, power relations, and people's understandings, aspirations, and practices since the end of state socialism. The 14 weeks are divided into several topics, each offering a different perspective on the shifting categories in socialist and post-socialist societies (e.g., transition, state, nation, nationalism, civil society, market and money, wealth and poverty, corruption and the mafia,"cultural production and consumption," gender and sexuality). The idea is to concentrate on these topics not only as an analytical exercise but also as a means for exploring the questions and methods for your future ethnographic research in this part of the world. The readings in the course draw on theories and studies from the disciplines of socio-cultural anthropology, sociology, political science, and cultural studies.

ANTHRO 290: SURVEY OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH
C. Hastorf, 4 units, M 4-6, 160 Kroeber
 
The departmental seminar, which is held on alternate Mondays from 4-6 p.m. in 160 Kroeber throughout each semester, presents a range of speakers on current topics in anthropology. Speakers and topics are announced prior to the event on the glassed-in bulletin board opposite the main office (232 Kroeber). All students are invited; however, enrollment is strictly limited to and required of all Anthropology, Medical Anthropology, and Demography graduate students who have not been advanced to candidacy.
 
 
ANTHRO 301-9: PEDAGOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY: PRAGMATICS, POLITICS, PHILOSOPHY
Graduate student coordinator: Moira Perez, 2 units, Tu 4-6, 101, 2251 College
Faculty sponsor: Donald Moore
(CCN 03359)
 
Meeting time: every other Tuesday, 4-6; begins August 24th.
 
This seminar provides a space for exploring the practical and ethical aspects of pedagogy in anthropology. It responds to an expressed desire among graduate students to engage in critical reflection on teaching as both a craft and a cultural practice. We will consider education as a process rooted in specific historical contexts and situated within fields of culture and power. An important goal of the seminar is to address issues immediately relevant to the experience of its participants, especially those graduate students involved in teaching for the first time. Through close readings, a series of exercises, discussion, and an engagement with our own learning and teaching biographies, we will critically reflect upon what takes place inside our classrooms and develop working philosophies of teaching.
 
The politics of difference, teaching in the present, pedagogical philosophies, academic futures, course design, and teaching styles are among the topics that will serve as focus points for the seminar. Readings include works by Pierre Bourdieu, Jane Gallop, Henry Giroux, bell hooks, Peter McLaren, Richard Miller, Mary Louise Pratt, and Paul Rabinow.
