ANTH 53603 — Museums, Material Culture, and Popular Imagination
Museums as ideological sites and thus as sites of potential contestation produce cultural and moral systems that legitimate existing social orders. This course will focus on strategies of representation and the continuous process of negotiating social and cultural hierarchies with and through objects that are displayed. Graduate degree credit will not be given for both ANTH 43603 and ANTH 53603 . (Typically offered: Irregular)
