Anthropology
ANT316H1 Ancient Cultures of Mesoamerica

to the cultures of Mesoamerica, from
the first
arrival
of indigenous
peoples
to the appearance

sixteenth century. Students will become acquainted
with cultures including Olmec, Zapotec,
Teotihuacan, Maya, and
Aztec, while also considering

and early contact period culture history of eastern North America,

ANT352Y1 South Asia: Practices,
Theories, Representations 52L
This course examines key themes in the constitution of South Asia
as an area for ethnographic analysis. The first half analyzes canonical
texts in the anthropology of South Asia, examining the rise of
gatekeeping concepts such as caste, the village, collectivity,
and patriarchal social organization. The second half focuses on
ethnographies of political mobilizations, popular culture, and
global South Asia.
Prerequisite: ANT204Y1
This is a Social Science course.
ANT354Y1 Japan in Global Context:
Anthropological Perspectives 52L
This course examines how what we know as Japan and its culture
has been constructed through various types of global interactions.
The course uses popular culture,
travel encounters and transnational capitalism as lenses for analyzing the
dynamics of Japanese society. Topics include gender and sexuality, race and
ethnicity, social and family life, work and leisure, and Japanese identity
amid changing global power relations. The focus will be on cultural politics:
how competing ideas of Japanese society are expressed through particular cultural
practices, and how people engage with these practices in order to negotiate
their positions in the world.
Prerequisite: ANT204Y1
This is a Social Science course.
ANT421H1 Royal Courts of the Ancient New World 26L
This course examines the institution of the royal court in the ancient
New World as a nexus for negotiation of power and assertion of
cultural identity.

comparative contexts. We also explore the integration of textual and material
evidence in investigating ancient cultures.
Prerequisite: ARH305H1
This is a Social Science course.
ANT443H1 Anthropology of Travel and Tourism
26L
Since ancient times, travel has been central to human interaction. The
course explores theories about travel, translation, and tourism (and anthropology’s
relationship to all of these) and helps students critically examine a particular
travel encounter. Main topics include cultural representation, authenticity,
economic development, social inequality, identity, gender, ethnicity, nationality,
postcolonialism, and globalization.
Prerequisite: ANT204Y plus any 300-level course in Social-Cultural or Linguistic
Anthropology
This is a Social Science course.
ANT456H1 Transnational Queer Activisms:
Sexuality in Global Context 26L
This course explores key questions and directions from within the transnational
turn of queer anthropology. It will examine how anthropological theories
of globalization, gender, and sexuality have been, and can be, rethought
through
attention to transnational queer practices. Simultaneously, the course
explores how those very political and sexual practices have been enabled
and delimited
by transnational flows of capital, people, and ideas.
Prerequisite: ANT 204Y plus any 300-level course in Social-Cultural or
Linguistic Anthropology
This is a Social Science course.
East Asian Studies
EAS284H1 Modern Chinese Literature 26L
This course offers a critical examination of twentieth-century Chinese
literature. It aims to explore the various ways of being modern as
well as different
meanings of writing Chinese literature. We will focus upon the important
developments
of literary writing over time, from the inception of New Literature
in the 1910s, the development of realism and modernism of the 1930s,
to
the emergency
of post-revolution and postmodernist writings of the 1990s. Great
emphasis is also placed on generating a dialogue on interpretations
of key works.
In doing so, we will be exercising the skills of reading literary
works in terms
of aesthetic choices and strategies of cultural politics.
This is a Humanities course.
EAS318H1 Rethinking Modernism: The Perspectives of Mainland China, Taiwan and
Hong Kong 26L
Modernism is one of the important cultural heritages of the last
century that call for critical reflections in light of novel perspectives
and
new methodologies.
Postmodern critical thinking and postcolonial scholarships have
in particular made significant impact on ways of rethinking modernism
across national
histories. This course takes various forms of modernism(s) across
China, Taiwan and
Hong Kong as the object of study, and the postcolonial and postmodernist
approaches
to modernism as the refashioned methodological possibilities. Readings
of main modernistic writings, studying cinema and arts originated
from the above
different
localities. Discussions on such questions as how can theoretical
generalizations about modernism be adequately grounded in interconnected
histories,
languages, as well as experiences of colonialism and modernity?
How
does the temporality
of modernism get translated across different locations of writing?
How do we understand the lines of solidarity and tension among
artists and
writers
of different camps or localities? The goal of this course is not to find a
better definition for modernism but to release modernisms to fresh ways of
thinking and imagination.
This is a Humanities course.
EAS361Y1 Zen Buddhism 52L
This course will serve as an introduction to the Zen Buddhist traditions
of China, Korea, and Japan. A heavy emphasis will be placed on
the radical views
of history, language, ritual, self, and enlightenment espoused
by these traditions. The course will also examine issues related
to
Zen monasticism,
the development
of koans, and the definition of orthodoxy in both premodern and
modern Zen. Students will be asked to explore these and other
topics by
paying close
attention to the historical, doctrinal, and institutional contexts
from which they arose.
Readings will include both primary material in translation and
secondary scholarship.
This is a Humanities course.
Geography
GGR320H1
Geographies of Transnationalism, Migration, and Gender 26L
This course examines
recent changes in global migration processes. Specifically, the course
addresses the transnationalization and feminization of migrant
populations and various segments of the global labor force. The coursework
focuses on analyzing classical paradigms in migration studies, as well
as emerging theoretical approaches to gender and migration. In addition,
it traces the shifting empirical trends in gendered employment and
mobility patterns. It uses in-depth case study material to query the
frameworks employed in migration studies and to understand the grounded
implications of gendered migration. It pays particular attention to
the interventions made by feminist geographers in debates about work,
migration, place, and space.
This is a Social Science course.
