[lbo-talk] "the other" and "othering"

[lbo at inkworkswell.com]

A request from another list that prompted me to ask, here, what books and 
films might you recommend?

Hi Folks,

I'll be team teaching a master of arts in liberal studies course with a
professor from our English dept.  The theme of the course is Culture and
Knowledge.  Our focus will be the construction of the other and
othering.  I'd very much appreciate recommendations for recent texts in
sociology and anthropology that address our focus.  FYI, the students
will include folks seeking a Masters in Liberal Studies and folks
getting a Masters in Education.

Thanks for your help in this matter.

"The problem with defending the purity of the
English language is that English is about as
pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow
words; on occasion, English has pursued other
languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious
and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
