ANTHRO 205      The Social Life of Things
This course examines the ways anthropologists have studied the connections between people and things. It explores how social relationships are created and changed through the use and exchange of objects, and how objects themselves take on particular meanings and histories in these processes. In questioning the relationship between material culture and human sociality, the course will expose students to a range of ethnographic and historical case studies, as well as introduce them to some core theoretical perspectives and debates within anthropology
