ANT (0103) 249 - The Raw and the Crooked: Changing Perceptions of the Primitive

Credits: 3.00

Examine how post-modern societies play with many distorted images of ‘the savage’ (noble or brutal), barbarians, primitives, and heathens, in public art, fashion, discourse, politics, and religion. Study the contact between post-modern peoples and ‘primitive’ peoples and learn what anthropology establishes about their lives, cultures, and circumstances.
