ANTHR 7425 - Hope and Futurity

Fall. 4 credits. Student option grading.

Co-meets with ANTHR 4425.

H. Miyazaki.

What is hope? How is hope produced and lost? How is hope distributed in society? What role does hope play in the production of knowledge, imagination and belief? In this course, we will investigate these questions through a close examination of a full range of anthropological, sociological, literary, philosophical and religious explorations into hope and futurity.
