The course explores broad central questions both of post-war
Europe and of ethnography. Readings examine how regional,
national and global interests inpinge on local communities
as Europe unifies, what Anthropology contributes to the
study of Eurpope, and how European ethnography reflects the
changing discipline of Anthropology. Studies will include
comparative cases of religious orthodoxy, popular faith, and
anti-clericalism, the politics of new identities and old
ethnicities, migration, transnationalism, and gender in
ruraL and urban contexts. Relations between regions, center
and periphery, and the movement of populations, commodities,
and culture across shifting borders are the focus of
ethnographies in Central, Southern and Eastern Europe.
