REES 253 - Anthropology of Eastern Europe Semester Offered: Fall Semester Full Course Credits: 4 Credits Attribute: 4HU
Examines both an array of fascinating anthropological case studies from formerly socialist European states and the ways in which anthropologists (from within as well as beyond the region) have constructed “Eastern Europe” as a field site. Topics include the breakup of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, postsocialism, the “Western” invention of homo soveticus, the influence of emigre/diasporic communities (and scholars), warfare and environmental disasters (e.g. Chernobyl), minority rights, and media and expressive culture. Field trips required.
