Document Summary
This file includes a summary of some of the most important ideas discussed in class. It is not a substitute for the lecture, but will help you, after class and with the aid of your notes and the reading assignments, to distinguish the main points of the lecture. You will also find on blackboard four questions that should help you further to understand the topic and to prepare for the examination. This lecture continued from last week the theme of race as a constructed but real category. During the second our we discussed how signifying (the making of meaning) happens. As this second theme continues next week, we will see that what we call reality is not given by nature, but is constructed in society. Race is one concept through which we approach reality. It is constructed with materials given by nature.
