Anthropology 380-01 Dr. Judkins Spring 2019 Anthropology 380-01 Dr. Judkins Spring 2019 Experimental Course: ANTHROPOLOGY AT THE MARGINS The purpose of this course is deeper knowledge and appreciation of the science and art of Anthropology, to help students understand more thoroughly the full power of the paradigm of the field. The method used to accomplish this purpose is the exploration of the works of (1) people who were, themselves, marginal to formal Anthropology, yet highly (if uniquely) successful in the practice of the field, and/or (2) the study of marginal groups, groups on the very edges of classification, or sometimes between “stages” in their settings, e.g., caught between their own existence in a classical vs. in a modern state. The outcome will be to show how effective Anthropology can be even in the least likely of circumstances, or even when practiced by an Anthropologist as “marginal” as the “natives” themselves. Anthropology will be able to be seen as a paradigm of immense power in the hands of gifted students of the field. They will take from the course a deeper appreciation of what they can appreciate and of what they themselves can do with Anthropology.

When describing the carved artworks of the Aboriginal people of the Arctic regions, the anthropologist Edmund Snow Carpenter once observed: “A distinctive mark of the traditional art is that many of the ivory carvings, generally of sea mammals, won’t stand up, but roll clumsily about. Each lacks a single, favored point of view, hence, a base. Indeed, they aren’t intended to be set in place and viewed, but rather to be worn or handled, turned this way and that. The carver himself explains his effort as a token of thanks for food or services received from the animal’s spirit” (16). Much like the individual artworks displayed in Upside Down: Arctic Realities, the exhibition itself could be seen as a composite phenomenon that is best approached from multiple perspectives at once and “turned this way and that.” In its creative conflations and inversions of Paleolithic and modern motifs, the show simultaneously cultivated the perspectives of ethnographic anthropology and contemporary art criticism, with their attendant conceptions of distanced criticality and aesthetic proximity.

  • Paleo-Eskimo Artifacts from the Edmund Carpenter Collection Populate a Universe of Their Own in Microcosmos: Details from the Carpenter Collection
    Paleo-Eskimo Artifacts from the Edmund Carpenter Collection Populate a Universe of Their Own In MicroCosmos: Details from the Carpenter Collection On view exclusively at the Menil, August 29, 2015 through February 21, 2016 HOUSTON, TEXAS, August 20, 2015 — Over the course of the second half of the twentieth century, Edmund Carpenter—anthropologist, author, broadcaster, filmmaker, and communications theorist—assembled one of the world’s finest and most extensive collections of artifacts made and used by the peoples of the Old Bering Sea cultures of coastal Alaska and Siberia. Dating from as early as 250 BCE and carved from walrus ivory (or wood, as seen in rare examples that have survived), these dolls, ornaments, game pieces, tools, and ceremonial objects are diminutive in scale. Mere inches in height, they speak powerfully of cultural forces that led to their creation—specifically, a belief in the fluid and fantastic transformation from human to animal and back again. In MicroCosmos seals and water fowl sprout human heads, pregnant women grow walrus tusks, shamans fly like birds, and mythical beasts shift into multiple shapes. The exhibition’s opening on August 29, 2015 marks the first public display of the Carpenter Collection of Arctic Art (a trove of some 150 Paleo-Eskimo objects). Alone among archaeologists and anthropologists when he delved into the Arctic and its peoples, Edmund Carpenter conducted groundbreaking research that led to the publication of “Eskimo Realities,” (1959/1973), one of many landmarks in a career that spanned the globe. Edmund Carpenter died in 2011 at the age of 88. Inviting museum visitors into another world, MicroCosmos: Details from the Carpenter Collection has been organized by its curator, Sean Mooney.

Along with the arrival of mass media, new technological forms of culture were gradually added to the old typologies of the arts. Photography, film, television, and video increasingly ap- peared in the curricula of art schools and were given separate departments in art museums. With the introduction of digital media technologies in the 1980s and 1990s, the means of production, storage, and distribution of mass media changed, and eventually, so did its uses. As artists adopted the technologies of mass media, the economy of fine art (like the economy of limited editions) was confronted with the logics of mass production and mass distribution. Thus, when visiting a contemporary art museum one might find, for example, such conceptually con- tradictory displays as “DVD, edition of 3” (see for instance Lev Manovich 2000).

  • Creeping Plants and Winding Belts: Cognition, Kinship, and Metaphor Bojka Milicic
    10 Creeping Plants and Winding Belts: Cognition, Kinship, and Metaphor Bojka Milicic Introduction Hal Scheffler’s work has been fundamental in illuminating studies of human kinship and his perspective on kin terms lends itself to a cognitive approach. There is a growing body of research (e.g. Leaf and Read 2012) showing that the study of kinship has a great potential for gaining insight into cognitive processes. Thus studying metaphors that describe concepts from the domain of kinship are salient for the study of human cognition. Advocates of culturalist or performative persuasion argue that native theories about biological procreation are purely culturally constructed and are only metaphors of social relations, while sociobiologists and evolutionary ecologists would have it the other way around: for the former, Darwinian fitness is just a metaphor of immortality; for the latter, immortality is just a metaphor of Darwinian fitness. Thus Marshall Sahlins, a culturalist, argues: ‘Whereas it is commonly supposed that classificatory kin relations represent “metaphorical extensions” of the “primary” relations of birth, if anything it is the other way around: birth is the metaphor’ (2012: 677). What lies at the heart of both positions are 327 FOCALITy AND ExTENSION IN KINSHIP metaphors. Metaphorical thought plays an important role in the concepts of kinship. As Sahlins notes, kinship is often perceived through shared substances of blood, milk, semen, flesh, bone, spirit (2011a, 2011b). A metaphorical expression provides a relation between a source concept and its target concept, which is essentially based on analogy (Pinker 2007: 253–55). Metaphors are extensions from one semantic domain to another.

  • Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology
    M.A in Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology KALINGA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Deemed to be University under section 3 of UGC act 1956 Department/Course Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology (THTI) Course Details 1 M.A in Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology Department of Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology (THTI) Introduction: Heritage is a fundamental source of individual and group identity, vitality, and solidarity. Heritage is a universal process by which humans maintain connections with our pasts, assert our similarities with and differences from one another, and tell our children and other young people what we think is important and deserves to be part of the future. Traditional languages were disappearing, and ancestral forms of conflict resolution within communities were disintegrating. Also, during this time, the federal government became aware of the difficulty tribal communities were having in retaining cohesion. Tribal governments as well as the federal government began investigating ways to halt degradation of traditional cultures. India has been a subject of intense interest to a wide variety of peoples from all corners of the ancient and the modern world throughout the millennia. There are many reasons for this intense and sustained interest, not least among them being the considerable prowess of the ancient Indic in matters of scholarship, relating to the exact sciences. The Indian university system of the ancient era was world renowned and attracted student from a wide variety of countries. Tribal Indology is to the academic study of the history, languages, and cultures of the tribal in Indian subcontinent. Strictly speaking it encompasses the study of the languages, scripts of all of Asia that was influenced by Indic culture.
