Imaginary Ethnographies
|
Schwab, G. |
Th 9:00-11:50am HIB 341 |
Exploring the relationship between literature, ethnography and the cultural imaginary, this course views literature as a form of writing culture. We will explore the specific role and devices of the literary in relation to other discourses on culture such as ethnography and cultural theory. In this context, we will develop a method of reading that emphasizes the complex transcodings (as defined by Jameson in The Political Unconscious) between the literary, the cultural/ethnographic, and the psychological. The literary readings will foreground a set of liminal cultural figures that have aggregated iconic value in the cultural imaginary: the indigenous, the child, the disenfranchised, and the posthuman. We will explore topics such as the colonial imaginary and the colonization of psychic space, violent histories and trauma, the social construction of childhood, zones of abandonment and emergent forms of subjectivity in global cultures.
