ANTH 4410 — Economy and Culture in Asia

4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureNUpath DDNUpath SItypical days: FBostonTraditional

Situates Asian national and local economies in patterns of economic globalization and neoliberalism. Emphasizes the relationship between neoliberal processes and state-led development, as well as the relationship between economic ideas and bottom-up societal changes. Combines films, theoretical readings, and ethnography to explore hallmarks of anthropological analyses of economic globalization and neoliberalism in debates over cultural agency, locality, values, and politics in East, South, and Southeast Asian countries. Critically examines topics such as English-language dominance in the Asian region, the rise of plastic surgery, youth unemployment and political consciousness, and real estate speculation in Asian megacities.
