Capitalism and Urban Transformation (3) This course looks historically and currently at the connections between capitalism and urban transformations, starting with classic political economic understandings of urban transformation and capital in the city (e.g., Fredric Engels, Henri Lefebvre, David Harvey) and moving onto more contemporary analyses of urban space and place, gentrification, and current urban crises (e.g., Ruth Gilmore, Setha Low, Neil Smith) in order to understand urban space and its transformation as intimately shaped and produced by processes of capital accumulation, crises, dispossession, and resistance. Throughout the course students read ethnographies of urban transformation, both nationally and internationally, to examine how global processes of speculation, displacement, and gentrification transform cities and shape the terrain of struggle for urban residents. There is particular emphasis on reading ethnographies of contestation, protest, and resistance against and amidst urban change. Open only to Anthropology Master's International Program students. Meets with ANTH-640 001.
