ANT 310 CULTURES OF THE SOUTH
This class will explore the southeastern United States as a coherent, but often highly contested, culture region. Using the methods of cultural anthropology and folklore, we will explore the cultures of the South, both for the overarching themes and patterns that emerge across traditions, as well as for the diversity of view and opinion found in the specific, unique traditions grounded in the region. The class will pay particular attention to themes of race, gender, myth, history, narrative, community memory and authenticity.
