Anthropology 333: Domestic/Wild: Unruly Homes Wild Biomes

Credits 4

What are the histories of domestication and what forms has the wild taken?  Are home and the wild antithetical ideas? Are agriculture and hunting/gathering really all that different culturally? What power is summoned or rejected by the domestic and the wild in anthropological thought and practice?  Topics include the archaeology of domestication, rewilding, multi-species relations, social stratification and hierarchy, nature conservation and intimacy.
