ANSC 191GS. Everyday Life in South Asia: Beyond the Clichés (4 units)
Link to catalog page: https://catalog.ucsd.edu/courses/ANTH.html#ansc191GS
Description
Popular representations of South Asia abound in clichés: poverty and luxury, cities and hamlets, ascetics and call centers. What do these clichés do to our understanding of South Asia? How do we get beneath or beyond these representations? We will respond to these questions by exploring how people in South Asia live on a day-to-day basis, while also attending to how major historical events, such as colonialism and the Partition of India and Pakistan, shape contemporary life and politics. Program or materials fees may apply. Prerequisites: ANSC 121, ANSC 148, ANSC 155, ANSC 164, ANTH 1, ANTH 21, ANTH 23, or ANTH 103, department approval required, and upper-division standing. Students must apply for and be accepted to the Global Seminar program.
