300634 Introduction to Social Anthropology (S) (WiSe 2021/2022)
Contents, comment
-
Social anthropology is a broad field. The aim of this module is to introduce you to the main bodies of theory within social anthropology and the classical sub-fields within the discipline (political anthropology, economic anthropology, anthropology of religion and kinship) and key debates within the discipline. We begin by locating the discipline in a historical perspective before exploring key theories and themes. We will draw on what are often considered classical texts in early anthropology and key ideas from more contemporary works. We will also consider some of the major themes of social anthropology.
As the module progresses, you will gain a growing sense of what social anthropology is and feel confident to enter discussion concerning the kinds of questions it asks.
All students are expected to be present in all sessions and to participate in discussions. If you feel that English may be a challenge, this module is a good opportunity to work with classic anthropological ideas and texts in their original language and become familiar with academic reading and writing in English.
