| Syllabus: | This unit constructs a space for the analysis of the cultures out of which low intensity conflicts are born, without which understandings of the wars of nation states and the issues of sustainable development and national security can only be partial. It reconfigures traditional conceptualisations of “war” as an anthropology of small-scale conflicts, interrogating the cultures of violence which overwhelm communities. Ethnographic and historical analyses are deployed to understand displacement, the social logics of violence, the stresses of modernisation, globalisation and contested power relationships. Research-based case studies are used to examine the meanings of war and conflict which reach deep into the social and cultural fabric of the nation state. The unit focuses on an inter-disciplinary approach to national security, sustainable development and international relations. |
