as “middlemen minority”, “conjoint communities”, “stranger” mentality,
and “social/symbolic capital” to understand the success of these
mercantile communities. This course provides an overview of long-existing
trade diasporas and examines the theories about them.

Advanced Topics in Diaspora and Transnationalism (The Diasporic Lives of Objects)
[24S]
As they travel through space and time, material
objects play an important role in the production of diasporic
identity. This course focuses on the
culturally defined and socially regulated processes of circulation,
transaction, and use to examine the ways in which diasporic
communities identify value and meaning in objects and how those
objects give
value to the social relations that define communities. Through
readings, guest lectures and discussions, we will address questions
such as:
What roles do objects play in the constitution and reproduction
of diasporic communities? What qualities are read into objects,
through
what mechanisms, and how does their meaning vary across space?
What is the relationship between object, narrative, affect and
identity?
What conditions affect the durability of the relation between
object and diasporic identity?

Globalization [24S]
This interdisciplinary course explores the contemporary character of globalization.
The world is shrinking as money, goods, people, ideas, weapons,
and information flow across national boundaries. Some commentators
assert that a more tightly interconnected world can exacerbate
financial disruptions, worsen the gap between rich and poor
nations, undermine democracy, imperil national cultures, harm
the environment, and give unconstrained freedom to predatory
corporations. Others proclaim that globalization - understood
as capitalism and free markets - fosters economic growth, encourages
creative collaboration, inspires technological breakthroughs,
and enhances human prospects for a better life, in rich and
poor countries alike, in unprecedented ways. Our task is to
evaluate the evidence and draw our own conclusions.

The Death of Meaning
In The Origin of Species Darwin concluded
there was no evidence to suggest that life was designed by
a higher power. A corollary of this is that our lives lack
any necessary purpose or meaning. Our reading will be directed
to the question of what it means to lack ‘Meaning’. Texts:
Janet Browne, Darwin’s Origin of the Species: A Biography (Toronto:
Douglas & MacIntyre, 2006) J.S. Mill, On Liberty Two of: Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus
Logico-Philosophicus; J. P. Sartre, Words; Samuel Beckett,
