Various topics covering current research theory, method; issues of social and cultural concern; culture change, conflict, and adaptation. May combine more than one subdiscipline of Anthropology.
Class Description
The territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan has been viewed as the land of the Bible, cradle of civilization, ancestral homeland, tinderbox of conflict or sun-drenched paradise. Through pilgrimage and tourism, Israelis and Palestinians present their own identities and understandings in negotiation with various Western imaginaries. Through the prism of anthropology, we will examine this contact zone as a mirror of Israeli and Palestinian society. Examples will include heritage sites, Christian pilgrimage itineraries, Holocaust memorials, museums, visits to former Palestinian villages, volunteer activism, and gay tourism.
