distancing, masking mandates, and vaccine protocols. ret, the United States has been exceptional in les porticar response to these measures.
Prompt:
How might concepts from this Module frame the COVID-19 protest discourse? How can the messaging of those inside the protest (as well as those outside of it) be analyzed in terms of the concepts and ideas of this week’s module? In particular, how did the ideas of repressive versus normalizing power and in-grouping/out-grouping play a role in the various responses to the various U.S. COVID protocols? Indeed, how does the mask/anti-mask debate help us, as anthropologists, understand what it means to be “American”?
Goals:
• Demonstrate your understanding of the Module 4 theme “Defining by Negation” Incorporate an anthropological perspective and effectively utilize appropriate terms and concepts
Analyze the prompt by specifically using at least two (2) elements of Module 4 (for example, the Linton readings, the Foucault film clip, the NAGPRA websites and film clips, and related articles) Think critically about and mention specifically how those two (2) elements inspired your thinking about what it means to be American-
in other words, talk about “Defining by Negation” and/or “Othering”, and tell us how what you read influenced that thinking • Write in clear and concise language, free of grammatical issues, stay within the word limit
Properly cite (that is, give credit) to the elements you mentioned above The Instructional Assistants and I are looking for a good critical reflection, following the guidelines posted in Module 1.
