簡介：
This lecture serves as an introduction to economic anthropology. It comprises three parts. In the first part of the lecture, I will introduce some basic concepts such as culture as an integral whole consisting of interconnected parts, including the economic system. Also, no culture – and by extension, economic system – exists in isolation but it is always a part of a larger (global or regional) system. In the second part of the class, we will discuss Bestor’s article (2000) that illustrates the global nature of economic production and consumption. The third part of the class focuses on my own research on gender and global industrialization. All global stories are fundamentally local stories. The two assigned articles (Lee 2003, 2009) are to show local gender relations are essential elements of the global assembly line. Yet, at the same time, we will also discuss how new economic opportunities could also bring new possibilities that challenge existing cultural ideas and social relations.
