Anthropology 344 - Italy: Facism to Fashion

This course complements the Department of Anthropology's strength in the anthropology of Europe. This course uses Italy as a case study to investigate four key themes: 1) the state, civil society, and hegemony; 2) kinship, gender, and reproduction; 3) culture and economy; and 4) immigration and globalization. Throughout, we will consider symbolic as well as materialist approaches to grasping experiences of everyday life as they play out in one of Europe's southern territories. (Gen. Ed. SB, DG)
