[Itself] Harvard Anthro/Media Studies course (fwd)

[anita chan]

Hi All,
I thought some of you might be interested in a course Rosemary Coombe is
teaching at the Anthropology Dept. at Harvard this spring titled,
"[Trans]National Identities, New Media/tions and the Place of the Public".
The syllabus for the course is attached -- it looks specifically at the
links between communication technologies and national identity, and
although it has a focus on Canada, the readings also deal more broadly
with the subject of multicultural states under conditions of
neoliberalism, globalization, and the intensification of migrancy and
cultural flows. I took a course with Rosemary last semester on
Intellectual Property and Human Rights, and her work meshes nicely with
many of the conversations we've had in the group regarding technology,
cultural and political transformations, and "information societies".
Hope you're all still enjoying the break!

ps. Apologies for any cross postings!
