In this course we will read from classic and newer ethnographies from socialist Europe, charting anthropology’s engagement with the region and with ‘real existing communism’ before and after 1989. Dissuasions will center on bureaucracies, boredom, infrastructures, lines (standing in them), plans, sociality, seeds, selves, and souls. Ethnographic engagements with the region are delightful and theoretically rigorous, the course thus also serves as a solid introduction to anthropological modes of study and argumentation. The language of instruction will be English. |
