Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
From the theater state to imperial kingdoms, from cockfights to (counter)insurgencies, from colonial economy to anticolonial nationalisms—what can Southeast Asia teach us about cultural theory in the past and present? It is sometimes said that Southeast Asia is for anthropologists what the French Revolution is for historians: something the discipline simply cannot do without. This course critically examines notions of culture, cultural wholes, and cultural theory that emerged from the study of Southeast Asia. At stake is a broadly holistic concept of culture that owes to Southeast Asianists as diverse as J.S. Furnivall, O.W. Wolters, Clifford Geertz, Stanley Tambiah, Mary Margaret Steedly, and Benedict Anderson. The course asks why and how this cultural theory took shape, as well as its possibilities and limits in the present.
