ANTH 323 - Storied Anthropology

(3)

By exploring the notion of humans as storytellers, students will investigate how different people use narratives, and examine the way stories are implicated in, among other things, ritual, landscapes, and culture contact. The course also considers the way anthropologists are the ultimate story-tellers, crafting ethnographies using traditional non-fiction ways and more alternative fictional and poetic means. Students will have a chance to create their storied projects using the Asheville community as our lab. Spring.
