ANT (0103) 300 - Global Asian Youth Culture Credits: 3.00
In this course, students take an ethnographic trip through Asia with a focus on youth culture. From consumption patterns, social media content, and aesthetic choices, this course considers the desires of Asia’s youth population as central to understanding cultural values and their metamorphoses in political, social, and economic contexts.
Free Note: Background in social science (anthropology, political science, psychology, and sociology) at the 100-level is strongly recommended but not required.
Course Learning Goals:
- Students will distinguish and use a range of vocabulary, concepts, theories, and arguments that inform the anthropological study of Asian cultures and traditions and Asian youth subcultures.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to critically analyze written sources, visual media, and other source materials with respect to youth culture and the institutions and persons who propagate its values and practices.
- Students will articulate, orally and in writing, the ways in which youth choices, practices, and behaviors are culturally located and situated in the historical and political contexts of an Asia that is interconnected with the rest of the world.
- Students will critically evaluate the ways in which cultures and institutions of power intersect with youth aesthetics and subcultures.
- Students will collaborate with classmates in team learning experiences that build upon individual strengths and interests to achieve a shared knowledge outcome specific to this course.
