Seminars and Proseminars
Welcome to the seminar and proseminar repository!
Each quarter, graduate groups and programs hosting seminars open to all graduate students provide us their seminar information to share here. It is our hope that this will not only increase access, but also foster networking and academic cross-pollination!
If your graduate program has an open seminar you would like included here, please use this submission form. Thank you!
Fall Quarter Open Seminars
ANT 210 - Time, Tense, Temporality
Mondays 10:00am - 12:50pm, In-Person
CRN: 48197
Instructor: Amer Ibrahim
This graduate seminar explores the relationship between narrative and temporality, and their role in shaping understandings of social and political life across the intersecting archives of anthropology and history. The course focuses on the ways anthropology has both critiqued and recognized its own implication in narratives of progress embedded in modern projects such as secularism, colonialism, and sovereignty, and on moments when such narratives break down. Through the close readings of classic and more recent anthropological and theoretical texts, we will consider a series of questions about history, experience, and the political distribution of temporal tenses. Throughout the quarter, students develop their own approaches to theorizing temporal processes within a research project.
