Overview of class

This course will explore the fundamental question of how the state and the law figure into our everyday lives. We will look at the ways in which state practices and apparatuses come to influence society and culture and how anthropologists have gone about studying political and legal systems. Issues to be dealt with will include democratic techniques, security, human rights, and law and violence. Students will gain an in-depth picture of law in culture and society by studying different parts of the world.
