Wine and Culture: An Anthropological Perspective

Course #: ANTH 268

Description:
This course approaches wine, a cultural and traditional product, from an anthropological perspective. It explores how wine has contributed powerfully to human cultures. Topics considered include the construction of territories and local identities through wine, and the relation between wine and religion, family structures, social institutions, gender, identity, power, class, and heritage. The course's organization is both topical and geographic. Wine is not just the product of history but an anthropological matrix with significant impact on human social relations, identities, and world views.
