This course provides a critical interdisciplinary study of the idea of community: how it is constructed, mobilized and contested under conditions set by modernity and current forms of globalization. Students will examine the notion of 'community' as constructed rather than given, but especially as these constructions relate to the fragmenting and deterritorializing implications of modernity and globalization.
