ANSC 177Step Into Anthrohistory: The Past and Its Hold on the Future
Course aims to explore the ways in which historicity can be turned to a critical field of inquiry and reflection. Shows how the past isn’t something that “has happened,” but that actively lingers and invades the present, both inviting and constraining possible futures. Challenges the assumptions and practices of each modern discipline, affecting key concepts, methods, modes of analysis, and narrative forms that both anthropologists and historians have used.
