ANT352Y1<\/b><\/a>
\nSouth Asia: Practices, Theories, Representations 52L<\/b><\/p>\n

This course examines the institution of the royal court in the ancient New World as a nexus for negotiation of power and assertion of cultural identity. Case studies concentrate on the Maya; Aztec and Inca cultures provide important comparative contexts. We also explore the integration of textual and material evidence in investigating ancient cultures.
\nPrerequisite:<\/i> ARH305H1
\nThis is a Social Science course.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think I was 6 or 7 years old when I recognized the difference between South Asia and South America.* Maybe younger. I think it was around the same time when I realized how absurd oxymorons like “ancient New World” can be.<\/p>\n

* Someone fucked up. This is the course description for ANT421H1, which, apparently without any sense of irony, is entitled “Royal Courts of the Ancient New World”.<\/font><\/p>\n

ANT426H1

Three guesses as to what one of the primary reading materials for this course is. Maybe I should take it and focus on comics, but it’s not offered this year. Besides, in reading over thirty years of Marvel Comics I’ve only ever once come across an Arab superhero. Arabian Knight. He wears a turban, has a scimitar, and flies on a magic carpet. I kid you not:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

(That was part of Marvel’s Contest of Champions in 1982. Two years later in 1984 Marvel had a Secret Wars event. Here<\/a> is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time, re: Secret Wars.)<\/p>\n
