Notes
Combining approaches from anthropology and literature, this class asks how we can interpret cultures and navigate forms of difference. How can we use conceptual tools to liberate ourselves from hierarchies and imagine new ways of being? Explore cafés, museums and neighborhoods in Paris as spaces of belonging, economic production and artistic creativity. Visit northern Sweden where the Jokkmokk winter market plays an important role in the cultural identity and history of the Sami people.
