The course highlights the ways in which diverse paradigms in political anthropology shaped our discipline’s approaches to counter-hegemonic, subversive, or revolutionary collective political action. At the same time, the course explores how, at various turning points in anthropology’s history, focusing on contention and protest invoked a re-examination of dominant paradigms and thus propelled the development of political theory in anthropology. More broadly, the course inquires, how do contentious, subversive political mobilizations contribute to social change? How have anthropologists analyzed that relationship at various conjunctures in the world’s post-colonial history? And how may rebellious mobilizations contribute to progressive change, local and global, today? What might the anthropologists’ roles be in this process, beyond that of ‘participant observers’? And just what should our roles be, politically, ethically, heuristically?
