ANTHROPOLOGY 162 P 001 LEC
Topics in Folklore: Bodylore
TuTh 2-330P, 155 DONNER LAB
YOUNG, K G
Course Control Number: 02669
Description: Culture is inscribed on the body. Our beliefs about the body,
our perceptions of it and the properties we attribute to it, both symbolic
and literal, are socially constructed. The body is being invented. The way
we hold our bodies, the way we move them, the way we accoutre them, display
our membership in a culture. The folklore of the body reveals cultural
assumptions about what it is to be a person. Some of the likely topics
include: SURFACE INSCRIPTIONS (The examination of tattoos as materializations
or literalizations of the inscription of culture on the body); DISCIPLINES
OF THE BODY(How practices of the exterior form practices of the interior);
BODY SYMBOLS (The body as a source and site of symbolic
representations);BOUNDARIES OF SELF(Skin as the boundary of the self,
moving from the construction of exteriority in proxemics to the
construction of interiority in interoception);BODY IMAGE (The trope of
interiority and the invention of an inner self);THE MIND/BODY PROBLEM (The
core problematic of the course: the mind/body problem. A phenomenology of
the body in terms of which to conceive ourselves as persons);EXPRESSIVE
PROPERTIES OF THE BODY (The expression of emotion: inner states or external
inscriptions of a social convention?).
Course work: Consists of a project on body language, worth 30% of the
grade; a mid-term examination focusing on the mind/body problem worth 30%;
a field research project and final paper on the theory of embodiment of a
specific cultural practice worth 40%.

South Asia: Cultural Politics and the Indian Cinema
TuTh 8-930A, 155 KROEBER
COHEN, L
Course Control Number: 02678
Description: India is well known for having the world's largest film
industry, encompassing not only popular Hindi film produced in Bombay or
Mumbai (the so-called Bollywood industry), but large Tamil and Telegu
language film production, fairly large Bengali and Malayalam language
production, and significant production in numerous other languages and
increasingly in English. These cinemas are popular not only in India,
its neighbors, and in the South Asian "diaspora," but among many
other non-Indian publics, especially in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central
Asia.
Despite this popularity, much scholarship on Indian cinema has failed to
put film into the context of its production and consumption: how it is
produced, how consumed, by whom, and how practices of both production and
consumption relate to other forms of practice, from politics to kinship to
housing to labor to state and non-state violence to other arts to sex and
to pleasure more generally. This course will utilize both films and
secondary sources to address these questions, and to link the study of film
in India both to the general study of Indian economy and society and to
broader questions in anthropology.
Each week is divided into two sessions. In one, we screen part of a
film or films; in the other, there is a lecture and discussion on a major
course theme. Each week students will be expected to watch on their
own or in groups one film that will be available in the language lab or in
a media lab to be created, or, if there is interest, in a group screening
at someone's home.
This course will serve as an introduction to general questions of the
politics of culture in India, for those with little familiarity, and as a
way to rethink concepts and debates, for those with more background.
The dominant cinema of India is the Hindi cinema and this will be our
focus; however, we will be examining the south Indian cinemas in particular
as well.
Requirements include (1) class attendance and active participation; (2)
weekly readings, from a reader and required books; (3) weekly film
screenings; (4) a midterm examination; (5) final paper (10-20 pages).
