Anthropology
Graduate Seminar
F 10:10AM-12PM
This seminar examines the distribution and obligations of care under late liberalism. We work from classical approaches to human sentiment to explore the relationship of forms of care to different modes of statecraft. In particular we examine links between imperial colonialism and liberal democracy in terms of different techniques of administering social difference. We critically investigate the role of the discipline of anthropology within this rubric and read several ethnographies that dwell on the interrelation of care and vulnerability. Across the course, we scrutinize what types of subjects care, for whom, and to what effect.
