Anthropology
4243: “Terrorism” and “The Clash of Civilizations” Spring 2011 Robert L.
Canfield [McMillan 326; canfrobt@wustl.edu] Meeting
schedule: Class
discussion: Tu/Th
10-11:30 a.m.; Lab
schedule: Tu 9:00-10:00 a.m. Location:
Eliot 300M Library Website for this Course: http://libguides.wustl.edu/clash This
course is about conflicts in which coercion is deployed and moralistic terms
invoked so as to give legitimacy to violence, even against non-combatants.
The code words in the title are bracketed in order to emphasize that we will
examine them as terms used rhetorically in public discourse for political
effect. When particular social situations are disputed, the disputants deploy
moralistic terms of this sort so as to clothe their actions and viewpoints
with an aura of legitimacy and to enlist popular support. But when issues are
contested, similar terms can be used by opposing sides, with similar but
contrary intents: one person‘s ―terrorist‖ is another person‘s
―freedom fighter‖. We refer to Huntington's term "Clash of
Civilization" because such terms are used by all sides in the conflicts
currently taking place in our times. Certain “extremist” Islamist groups
specifically embrace Huntington‘s notion of “the clash of civilizations”
(formulated for western audiences) as grounds for their own anti-western
posture. Rhetorical formulae such as these are promoted or scorned, embraced
or renounced, for essentially strategic reasons in political contests. In
this course we examine some notorious situations of conflict in order to
identify the particular way that disputing sides have deployed moralistic
forms in their own interest – as when popular movements arise and clash with
state power (e.g., the Tiananmen Square incident in China), or when
coalitions with radical social agendas take form and brutalize neighbors (as
in Yugoslavia in the 1990s; Rwanda in 1994), or when widely supported public
movements develop seemingly without coordination (the 2006 demonstrations
against the King of Nepal), or when movements animated by a shared ambition
to establish a non-state political entity (such as Al Qaeda for the
re-institution of the caliphate) form across state boundaries, apparently
with little coordination. |

Assignments: 1. Attend the Lab class meetings on Tuesdays
at 9 a.m. Except for the first day every
Tuesday for the first ten weeks the class will view a video together
preparatory to class discussion at 10 a.m. 2. Students will have to come to each class
ready to discuss a specific reading assignment. 2.A
Books to be bought in the book store: Lawrence Wright: The Looming Tower; Ahmed Rashid, Taliban [2nd edition]; Tony Lagouranis,
Fear Up Harsh. 2.B Some shorter conceptual works [available in
ares] will be assigned. 2. C Each student will once in the
semester will lead off the discussion topic for the day. 3. In addition, because there is such a huge
and recent literature on these topics, members of the class will select a monograph from the list below and
will write a summary of the monograph that is to be copied to the other
students in the class. The last few sessions of the course will be
discussions of the summaries produced by the students, to clarify the
significance of each case for our project. 4. A short mid-term paper will be required in
about the seventh week. The topic will
be based on the material covered up to that time. 5. The final paper will require synthesizing
the various issues we examine together in the course. 6. Graduate students will be asked to make a
presentation to the class about their research interests. As
the final project of the course students will write a paper synthesizing the
material in the monographic cases discussed in the course. Most of our
attention will be on the ways that ―terrorism‖ is legitimated by
the situations and movements discussed in the course. Grades
will be based on participation in class discussion, the mid-term exam, the
summary of the monograph read by the student, and the final synthesizing
essay. Materials
