Film Analysis #2 prompts students to further engage with their anthropological toolkits to consider the question of globalization and what means for citizens of the global North and South. Using anthropological concepts and theories discussed in the course, students will be asked to respond to a question about the nature of global dis/connections and their far-reaching implications. Details will be posted under Assignments Tab on Canvas.
In her chapter, “Resisting Paradise,” Angelique Nixon reflects on how the Caribbean region has been and continues to be profoundly affected by colonial exploitation. This exploitation has been expressed in multiple ways: as neocolonialism, as globalization, but also signals the deep interdependency between countries in the Global North and South in complex ways.
In three pages (or 750 words, double-spaced) please answer the following prompt:
With reference to Nixon’s chapter, briefly summarize and explain how one event from the film, “Life and Debt,” addresses the interdependency between markets in the Global North and South. How has our current global economy intensified historically uneven divisions of labour between higher-income and lower-income countries?
Your response should include at least two course concepts relating to global transformations (e.g., globalization, neoliberalism, neocolonialism, underdevelopment, “tourist/local,” faraway markets, market externalities, and/or “glocal”). Not explicitly engaging with both Nixon’s chapter and the film will result in a lower grade.
