New Course (spring 2019)
Media and Visual Anthropology of the Anthropocene Oil and Reading the Soul of Things
This course will examine the role of material culture and visual media in anthropological studies of climate change and the Anthropocene. During the semester, students will investigate the importance of film footage, photographs, museum objects and archival documents collected by foreign scientists (geologists, geographers, botanists, anthropologists, ethnographers) since 1920 to study the role of the oil industry on the Anthropocene transformation, the Great Acceleration and consequently the changes in the lives of pastoral nomads of Western and South western Iran.

This course will investigate how images (photographs, films, illustrations) have been used as powerful propaganda tools by Iran and the United States since the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
