Participants | Ethnographic writing, with its attention to the nuances and the intricacies of social interaction, is particularly useful in order to deconstruct complex inequalities and understand the workings of power relations. In this course students will familiarise themselves with ethnographies that use gender as a key concept for social analysis. Using ethnographies conducted in East Asia and Southeast Asia, the course will introduce the different conceptualisations of gender that emerged from academic debates in the twentieth and twenty first century. On the one hand, students will be encouraged to conceptualise this analytical category as the product of specific and evolving academic, social and political contexts: from cold-war politics to the emergence of post-colonialism, post-socialism, identity politics and queer activism. On the other, the use of ethnography as heuristic device will help students to relate the use of gender analysis to particular economic, social and political conditions in the field. |
