INTL 3117. Narratives and Conflicts. (3) Cross-listed as ANTH 3117. In conflict situations, competing interpretations of the past can become part of the struggle itself as each side vies for recognition of its version of events. This course focuses on the role these stories play in the historical development of conflicts and the effects they have on efforts to resolve them. It will focus initially on the role of narratives in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Students will also have the opportunity to explore other cases, including Northern Ireland, Bosnia and South Africa. (Yearly)
