Learning outcomes
|
The course presents the history of socio-cultural anthropology from mid-19 century to the present. Students will get a clear idea about the main changes in anthropological thought, emphasizing the essential breaking lines such as connecting anthropology with politics, crisis of representation, or the impact of globalisation on socio-cultural anthropology.
After successful passing the course the student will be able to demonstrate a relatively complex knowledge of social and cultural anthropology: the history of ideas, institutions, development of anthropological methodology, dominating anthropological interests, including the knowledge of great figures - founders of the main anthropological schools. At the same time, he or she will be able - also after going through seminar work with primary texts - to apply an analytical and critical approach, to perceive culture as not constant, but historically relative category, and to be able to discuss the history of culture anthropology as a science.
