ANTH 045 PZ -Law and Culture

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course explores the interrelation between law and institutions and practices it is said to govern and regulate. In particular, we will address how law should be defined, how law is instantiated in everyday life, how it comes to shape individual subjectivity, and how conceptions of justice come to be universalized and globalized in the contemporary age. We will explore a variety of contexts and case studies, including drug dealing in New York, the international kidney trade, undocumented immigration, the break-up of socialist Eastern Europe, the international human rights movement, and piracy in the Indian Ocean.
