DANC 077B. Anthropology of Performance
This course will introduce various approaches to the study of visual anthropology as it relates to movement, body, culture, and power. It will examine theoretical approaches ranging from semiotics of the body, communication theory, and phenomenology to the more recent approaches drawing on performance, postcolonial, post-structural, and feminist theories. It will also examine how anthropological issues in dance or performance are closely tied to issues of modernity, regional and national identity, gender, and politics. Various ethnographies and literature from dance studies, media and film studies, and feminist studies will be included in the course material. It will also require students to view videos to engage in visual analysis.
