Discussion of the film Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh


1. How would you describe social changes taking place in Ladakh? And how do you think such changes are reshaping social relations between Ladakhis and non-Ladakhis? Ladakhis and Ladakhis (class, gender, race/ethnicity, age)?India and the US? What has his got to do with “culture” or cultural dimensions of globalization? 2. What are some of the cultural dimensions of “globalization” playing out in Ladakh? Does modernization “flatten” Ladakh? How are notions of “conformity” and “conflict”, or “homogeneity” and “heterogeneity” applicable to the cultural dimensions and cultural dynamics in terms of how globalization and modernization are reshaping Ladakh?


Questions…


3. What were some of the significant changes that took place in Ladakh in the 1970s and 1980s? What can you discuss regarding matters of social change and “modernization” ; tradition/ change; tradition and modernity; social interactions (how might many developers “perceive” Ladakhis? How might many Ladakhis view developers? Westerners? What cultural dynamics might ensue within the culture?




4. Are there ideas, concepts, terms from Conflict and Conformity: Readings in Cultural Anthropology that are applicable to the changes described in Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh?




5. Do YOU have any questions to raise regarding the film clip with regard to matters of ecology, sustainability and culture?


Essays in Conflict and Conformity: Readings in Cultural Anthropology


The Hunters: Scarce Resources in the Kalahari (Richard Borshay Lee)


Illegal Logging and Frontier Conservation (Nathan Williamson)


We are Going Underwater ( Susan A. Crate)


Forest Development The Indian Way (Richard K. Reed)


#8-The Hunters: Scarce Resources in the Kalahari (Richard Borshay Lee)


How does “the title” serve to address the main idea in the essay?


Questions


1. How does Lee assess the day to day quality of life of the !Kung when they lived as foragers? How does this view compare with that held by many anthropologists in the early 1960s?


2. What evidence does Lee give to support his view about the !Kung?


3. According to Lee, !Kung children are not supposed to work until after they are married; old people are supported and respected. How does this differ from behavior in our own society? And what might explain the difference?


4. What was key to successful subsistence for the !Kung and other hunter gatherers acc to Lee?


5. In what ways has life changed for the !Kung since 1964? What caused these changes?


The Hunters: Scarce Resources in the Kalahari


Is based on a long-term study of Ju/’hoansi-Dobe !Kung living in the Kalahari desert


Discovers that rather than living "hand to mouth,"


the !Kung people had a diet that was varied and adequate


Mongongo nut (high in protein)…drought resistant


84 species edible food plants…29 species fruits, berries, melons/ 30 species of roots and bulbs


223 species local animals; 54 edible


Reveals that !Kung lived in small groups, worked on average 2.5 hours per week, and achieved time for leisure and longevity


Camps/ waterholes


Normal distances vs traveling long distances


Visiting, entertaining, trance dances


What of “productivity” and social attotudes toward those (we) might consider non-productive? How does this compare to contemporary industrialized societies such as the US?


Describes the impact of outside intervention


on their original life as successful foragers


How has this society changed
