GENERAL EDUCATION COURSE & CROSS-CULTURAL CLUSTER COURSE
THIS COURSE SATISFIES THE LIBERAL STUDIES SOCIAL SCIENCE BASE COURSE
REQUIREMENT.
COURSE CONTENT: Cultural anthropologists have explored diverse ways of life of
people across time and space. By looking at differences and similarities of
other cultures, they have sought to understand other people's lives and to see
their own cultures in a new perspective. In this course, we will examine diverse
social or cultural constructions and reflect upon aspects of American culture by
looking at the similarities and the differences in human cultural behaviors and
thoughts. Students will become familiar with basic concepts, issues, and
theories of cultural anthropology. The textbooks will help students to master
some important issues of anthropology as well as to acquire knowledge on
cultural variety. Students will hopefully be inspired to see the world and
themselves in a new light by understanding cultural diversity.

ANT 352 01 ~ Cultures of Latin America ~ 3.0 Cr.

FINAL EXAM: Fri., May 6, 12:00-1:50 pm
DOES COURSE FULFILL CLUSTER AND/OR GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT?: No.
COURSE CONTENT: This course will explore anthropological studies of various
Latin American cultural groups. Five hundred years of discovery of the Americas
brought the natives in Latin America scenes of constant abuse and violence.
Although the focus of the course is contemporary Latin America, we will also
learn about Spanish invasion and colonization in the 15th and 16th centuries, as
these reveal enduring themes and issues relevant to understanding Latin American
cultures today. We will attempt to understand the nature of the political,
economic situation as well as the role of religion in Latin American politics.
The two case studies of the Andean Highlands and urban Brazil will reveal Latin
American cultural variety at an in-depth level. The main objective of this
course is to debunk the current myths and stereotypes of Latin America and to
obtain a new perspective of contemporary Latin American societies.
FORMAT: Lecture and discussion.
