COURSE DESCRIPTION (FOR CALENDAR). 50-60 WORDS MAXIMUM. ATTACH A COURSE OUTLINE TO THIS PROPOSAL.
Anthropological studies of performanceas theoretical/methodological framework foranalyzing social relations and powerin selected
historical/cultural contexts. Subjects may include theories of perfonnance and performativity; creativity and experience; cultural
performance; ritual; performance as political resistance; performance and everyday life. Ethnographicand historical accounts focused
on performance in colonial/neocolonial/postcolonial processes
will constitute substantive course content.
LIBRARY RESOURCES
NOTE: Senate has approved (S.93-11) that no new course should be approved by Senate until funding hasbeencommitted for necessary library
materials. Each new course proposal must be accompanied by a library report and, ifappropriate, confirmation thatfunding arrangements have been
addressed.
Library report status
no new ''braryresources required. (See attached document)
RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE
Scholars inmany disciplines have identified a "performative turn" currentlyunderway in the social sciences, arts and humanities.
Anthropologists are active participants in these developments, drawing on a long disciplinary history of research on ritual, ceremony,
and cultural performance; the verbal arts of oral history, storytelling, narrative and performance; and into contemporary work on
collaborative and experimental ethnography, and publicanthropology. Locating the contemporary performative turn in the context of its
emergence this course explores anthropology's and ethnography's particular contributions to this movement.
A version of the proposed new
course was taught as SA 460 Special Topics (06-3). An anthropology and performance studies-based
theoretical and methodological approach
has been taught in SA 402 and SA 875 for several years with considerable pedagogical
success. SA 486
will be deleted because the proposed course provides significant (50%) content related to anthropological scholarship
on historical and contemporary relations among Northwest Coast First Nations and settler cotonial states and populations in general,
specifically examined through a framework articulatedwith performancestudies and visual anthropology.
