NEW 10544 Ethnographic Performance Then and Now: A Genealogy of Culture, Identity, and Belonging-OLLI Scholar NEW!

Ethnographic performance began in Europe as the display of “foreign” peoples for commercial and educational purposes. In the nineteenth century, it was used to buttress the expansion of empire, ranking humanity on a scale of “nature to civilization.” Using a case study approach, this class will consider the ideological and political intent of ethnographic performance and analyze how racial and spatial subjectivities are made, unmade, and remade through this practice.
